Abstract
Child-to-parent violence (CPV) is a problem of great social relevance, which maintains an exponential growth. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of adolescent stressors and emotional security in the family system as predictors of CPV (reactive and proactive), considering the moderating effect of parental divorce. A sample composed of 892 adolescents aged 14-18 years (M = 15.15; SD = 1.06), from schools in the province of Málaga (Spain) was used. They completed questionnaires assessing emotional security in the family system, stress and CPV. The results showed that emotional disengagement in the family system and adolescent stressors significantly predicted reactive and proactive CPV. Parental divorce moderated the relationship between emotional security and reactive CPV, with stronger associations in intact families. These results highlight the importance of considering disengagement in the family system and adolescent stressors as key factors in reactive and proactive CPV, and the moderating role of parental divorce in these relationships. Interventions should focus on improving these variables.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
