Descriptive statistics and item response theory analysis examined caregivers' willingness to use discipline practices and their normativity among caregivers.

The IRT analysis revealed that the discipline practices that reflected a higher latent severity of the discipline construct (e.g., ignoring) were those that were more strongly associated with poor relationship quality, whereas highly normative practices (e.g., beating with an object) exhibited weaker associations.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our study uncovered the prevalence of several discipline methods used in Sierra Leone but rarely included in Western-derived measures. Parenting interventions aimed at improving child and family outcomes should particularly discourage ignoring, shaming, and pain-causing punishments. Policymakers should also consider addressing psychological aggression and emotional abuse in child rights legislation rather than corporal punishment alone.</p>","PeriodicalId":48180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Violence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13557766/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148921361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-term effects of IPV on cognitive functioning are not well understood.
