“…Perhaps, after a certain age, the degree of CPA perpetration remains more constant. The absence of a significant relation between CPA and academic failure also deviates from previous findings (Cano-Lozano et al, 2021b ; Cortina & Martín, 2020 ; Howard & Rottem, 2008 ; Rico et al, 2017 ). Possibly, the emerging adults ‘ transference from school into work rendered academic performance out of the equation (Arnett, 2000 ).…”

Purpose Even though five to 11% of child-to-parent abuse (CPA) perpetrators are emerging adults (age 18–23 years), relevant risk factors underlying CPA in this group are understudied. Method A multilevel meta-analysis was performed on nine studies (450 effect sizes, N = 1,043), comprising eight static (e.g., age and gender of perpetrator) and dynamic (e.g., substance abuse, financial problems) risk factors. Results Emerging adults who fell victim of domestic violence, or had antisocial cognitions, authority problems, or empathy problems displayed CPA more often. Moderator analyses revealed that the relation between gender of perpetrator and CPA was moderated by gender of victim ( p = .033) and CPA type ( p = .021). Gender of victim ( p < .001) also moderated the relationship between single-parent household and CPA. Finally, the relation between witness to DV and CPA was moderated by age ( p = .007). Conclusions This was the first multilevel meta-analysis focusing exclusively on CPA displayed by emerging adults. The results can be used as a basis for further research into relevant risk factors for CPA in this group and hopefully contribute to the development of health care interventions to reduce chances of CPA occurring.

“…This exposure to violence at home can occur through the observation of violence (when children witness violence between their parents, for example) and through direct victimization (when children suffer violence from their parents). Consistent with this approach, recent studies have found that CPV is related to exposure to violence between parents (e.g., [ 7 , 11 , 13 , 21 ]) and to parent-to-child violence (e.g., [ 5 , 11 , 13 , 22 ]).…”

“…CPV has been related to various individual, family and social factors [ 6 , 12 ]. Given the context in which this type of violence takes place, the study of family variables takes on special importance, and, among them, exposure to family violence has received the most attention in the literature on this topic (e.g., [ 7 , 11 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]). Studies from the perspective of the intergenerational transmission of violence (e.g., [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]) propose that as a result of observational learning and imitation of adult models [ 20 ], children from violent homes are more likely to become violent since they internalize that aggression as an adequate way to cope with interpersonal conflicts.…”

This study examines the influence of punitive parental discipline on child-to-parent violence (CPV). The moderating roles of parental context (stress and parental ineffectiveness), mode of implementation of parental discipline (parental impulsivity or warmth/support) and the gender of the aggressor in the relationship between punitive discipline and CPV are examined. The study included 1543 university students between 18 and 25 years old (50.2% males, Mage = 19.9 years, SD = 1.9) who retrospectively described their experience between the ages of 12 and 17 years old. The results indicated that stress, ineffectiveness and parental impulsivity increase the negative effect of punitive discipline on CPV. There is no moderating effect of parental warmth/support. The gender of the aggressor is only a moderator in the case of violence toward the father, and the effect of punitive discipline is stronger in males than in females. The study draws conclusions regarding the importance of context and the mode by which parents discipline their children, aspects that can aggravate the adverse effects of physical and psychological punishment on CPV. It is necessary for interventions to focus not only on promoting positive disciplinary strategies but also on the mode in which they are administered and on contextual aspects.

“…This type of violent behavior also aims to dominate parents (Howard & Rottem, 2008). CPV is a form of family violence internationally recognized nowadays as a social problem, which has led to an increase of research in this topic in different countries (e.g., Beckmann, 2020;Cano-Lozano et al, 2021;Simmons et al, 2020).…”

Background/Objectives: Current research has identified direct victimization at home as one of the main predictors of child-toparent violence (CPV). However, the mechanisms involved in this relationship have not been studied. Thus, we first analyze the differences between CPV offenders and offenders who have committed other types of offenses, as well as the differences between two types of CPV offenders: specialists (those who have only committed CPV) and generalists (those who have committed CPV in addition to other offenses), in multiple risk factors. Next, we specifically examine direct victimization at home and its relationship with social-cognitive processing in CPV. Method: The sample consisted of 208 Spanish young offenders recruited from the Juvenile Justice Service (163 males) aged 14-20 years. Concretely, 83 were CPV offenders, 126 other offenders and concerning the CPV group, 57 were specialists and 26 generalists. A wide range of individual, family, and social variables were evaluated. Results: Compared to other offenders, CPV offenders show more socio-cognitive difficulties, less parental warmth and more parental criticism/rejection, more direct victimization at home and more vicarious victimization at school and in the street. Specialist and generalist CPV offenders differ significantly in their characteristics, with the generalists showing a more negative profile than the specialists. The most important result is that direct victimization at home is linked to social-cognitive processing, and, while some of the variables (anticipation of positive consequences and justification of violence) are positively related to CPV motivated by instrumental reasons, other variables (anger and aggressive response access) are positively related to CPV motivated by reactive reasons. Conclusions: Dysfunctional social-cognitive processing is implicated in the relationship between direct victimization at home and CPV, varying the components involved depending on the reasons for the violence. It is discussed the implications of the obtained results for research and professional practice.
