“… 54 Further, our study suggests that a higher educational level among mothers may reduce the risk of child abuse contradicting the findings of previous work where higher parental education was associated with an increased likelihood of child abuse. 34 , 55 The discrepancies in findings may result from differences in sample characteristics. The current work investigated women exclusively, while others have either observed only men exclusively 34 , 37 or have not differentiated between men and women.…”

Abstract:Background: This paper scrutinizes the association between maternal practices to correct child behavior and the mothers' exposure to and attitudes towards intimate partner violence (IPV). Methods: Nationally representative data comprising 14 016 married women were retrieved from the Egyptian Demographic and Health Survey, 2005. Data on practices used to correct child behavior, exposure to IPV, attitudes towards IPV were our primary interest. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The majority of the mothers reported use of violent methods, like shouting (90.6%), striking (69.1%) and slapping (39.3%) to correct child behavior. Seven percent of the mothers used only the explanation option. Exposure to physical IPV and tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with an augmented risk of using violent methods (shouting, striking or slapping) to correct child behavior. On the other hand non-tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with increased likelihood of sole use of the explanation method. Conclusions: We thus recommend the implementation of local parental education programs focusing on communicative skills to reduce IPV and related child abuse.

“…The mental and physical health of parents have been identified as factors related to risk of child abuse. For example, Margolin and Larson (1988) found stress to be a significant risk factor for child abuse among men, and Holden and Ritchie (1991) identified stress as having a negative effect on parenting among battered women. In their study of the etiology of child maltreatment, Cicchetti and Rizley (1981) described parental good health as a protective factor.…”

“…Educational achievement of the parent has been found to be associated with physical child abuse; interestingly, greater educational attainment was related to increased risk in two studies (Bowker, Arvitell, & McFerron, 1988;Margolin & Larson, 1988). Age of the parent may be a risk factor: Straus (1994) noted that, controlling for age of the child, older parents were less likely to use corporal punishment.…”

This secondary analysis of the 1985 National Family Violence Survey sought to improve understanding of child abuse in the context of wife abuse by comparing risk factors for physical child abuse, verbal abuse, and physical punishment in homes with and without wife abuse. Interaction effects between wife abuse and various parent, child, and family risk factors were examined. For physical and verbal child abuse, several differences in risk factors were found, and interaction effects were significant. No interaction effects were found for the physical punishment model. In homes with wife abuse, adolescents were at particular risk of physical abuse, and alcohol abuse was an especially strong predictor of verbal child abuse. The intergenerational transmission of violence was more important in explaining physical child abuse in homes without wife abuse. This research points to global risk factors for physical punishment and specific risk factors for physical abuse and verbal abuse.

“…In exploring the relationship between child maltreatment and ADHD, there is some justification for analyzing the data separately for parental and child risk factors. Generally, among the parental factors of child maltreatment, low parental education, low income, young parental age, being a mother in adolescence, and parental psychiatric disorders seem to be significant predictors (De Paul & Domenech, 2000; Dubowitz et al, 2011; Gillham et al, 1998; Margolin & Larson, 1988; Wolfe, Edwards, Manion, & Koverola, 1988). Characteristics of children leading to higher vulnerability of being abused are male gender, young age, and having difficult temperament, behavioral problems, and mental or physical disorders (Berger, 2005; Malekpour, 2004; Ross, 1996).…”
