“…Collectively, the identified articles addressed four broad EFFE topics. The most commonly addressed topics were (a) perception/defining of EFFE ( n = 4; Lee & Eaton, 2009; Lee et al, 2012; Lee et al, 2013; Setterlund et al, 2007), (b) risk and protective factors for victims and perpetrators ( n = 7; Bagshaw et al, 2013; Beaulieu et al, 2015; Betz‐Hamilton & Vincenti, 2018; DeLiema, 2018; Knight et al, 2016; Mukherjee, 2013; Zannettino et al, 2015), (c) impacts on family systems ( n = 2; Petrusic et al, 2015; Vincenti et al, 2014), and (d) challenges in reporting EFFE ( n = 2; Adams et al, 2014; Wendt et al, 2015).…”

“…It is widely acknowledged that the definitions and conceptual development of elder abuse, including EFFE, vary across countries and cultures (Jackson, 2015; Pillemer et al, 2016). Four studies identified in this review examined the phenomenon of EFFE with an ethnic minority cultural lens (Lee & Eaton, 2009; Lee et al, 2012) or nonwestern culture lens (Lee et al, 2013; Petrusic et al, 2015). Two identified articles (Lee & Eaton, 2009; Lee et al, 2012) were guided by the theoretical construct of individualistic versus collectivistic cultural values (Markus & Kitayama, 1991), exploring Korean American elders' perceptions of EFFE.…”

“…Findings consistently reflected that the adherence to traditional values (i.e., collectivistic values) may cause an elder to interpret a situation of financial exploitation as a form of family obligation rather than abuse, with EFFE victims tending to tolerate abuse, self‐blame, and mistrust third‐party intervention. Two studies broadly explored the cultural norms and perceptions of EFFE among older adults in specific ethnic groups (Lee et al, 2013; Petrusic et al, 2015). Elders from South Korea provided a culture‐centered definition of financial abuse (Lee et al, 2013).…”

Elders from South Korea provided a culture‐centered definition of financial abuse (Lee et al, 2013). Findings showed that two‐thirds of respondents perceived adult children's lack of financial support of their elder parents as being equivalent to EFFE, reflecting Korean cultural norms of filial responsibilities.…”

Calls to address theoretical gaps in elder abuse as a field have been made over time. In this systematic review, the state of theory in elder family financial exploitation (EFFE), one of the most prevalent types of elder abuse, is examined. A synthesis of the scope and use of theories and constructs in 15 identified peer‐reviewed EFFE empirical articles published between 1990 and 2019 confirms a field in its infancy. Findings identified theoretical gaps in almost half of the studies utilizing a grand or middle‐range theory (8 of 15)—four focused on culture as a single concept, and three did not mention theory or constructs. Five interdisciplinary theoretical lenses have been used to examine EFFE, offering little depth and breadth in any one theory. To move EFFE forward theoretically, we discuss building on identified theories, integrating culture as a concept, and adding a focus on family systems using relevant family‐focused theories.

Family violence may be experienced at any stage of the lifespan; however, these experiences are often understood differently based on the age of the victim and who perpetrates the abuse. The significance of age is evident in the three categories of child abuse, domestic and family violence (DFV), and elder abuse. Each of these categories has its own definition which determines who is considered a victim or a perpetrator, and the behaviors counted as violent and abusive. These definitions influence how practitioners view victim-survivors’ experiences of violence, and the subsequent available responses. This article reports the findings of a scoping review of international literature published between 2011 and 2021, which explored how family violence is categorized and defined. The review was conducted as part of a larger study exploring how violence against women in intimate and family contexts is conceptualized and experienced, as well as the available responses. Forty-eight articles were included in the final review, and five categories of violence in family and intimate contexts were identified. These were child abuse, DFV, elder abuse, adolescent-to-parent violence, and sibling abuse. Comparison of definitions across categories found similarities in terms of the relationship between victim and perpetrator, behavior, intention, and harm caused to the victim. Review findings suggest that definitions of various forms of family violence do not differ greatly. Further research is needed to determine whether responses to family violence across the lifespan can and should be streamlined.
