“…Filhos de vítimas de violência doméstica contra mulheres apresentam maior risco de apresentarem défi-ces de competências sociais (Edleson & Gewirtz, 2007;Karreman, Tujil, Aken, & Dekovic, 2006;Margolin & Gordis, 2000), emocionais (Hirigoyen, 1999;Kitzmann et al, 2003;Wolfe et al, 2003) de resolução de problemas (Graham-Bermann & Levendosky, 1998) e dificuldades académicas (Halford, Sanders, & Behrens, 2001;Noble et al, 2005). Os níveis elevados de reactividade comportamental associados (Margolin, 1998) causam prejuízo no desenvolvimento neurocognitivo (Margolin & Gordis, 2000;Noble et al, 2005) e supressão ambiental do Q.I. (Koenen, Moffitt, Caspi, Taylor, & Purcell, 2003).…”

ResumoA violência doméstica contra mulheres afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento de alguns domínios de auto-regulação. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o seu impacto na auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Este estudo avaliou a auto-regulação da aprendizagem em 50 filhos de vítimas de violência doméstica contra mulheres. O grupo de filhos de vítimas apresentou níveis inferiores de rendimento académico. O grupo de filhos de vítimas simultaneamente de violência psicológica e física registou níveis inferiores nas dimensões de Avaliação e Execução de auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Estes resultados suportam as evidências de que a exposição à violência doméstica afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento da auto-regulação. Para além disso, sugerem que a exposição a violência familiar afecta negativamente também algumas dimensões da auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Violência na família, auto-regulação, aprendizagem, aprendizagem auto-regulada. AbstractDomestic violence against women has a negative impact on several domains of self-regulation. However, very little is known about its impact on self-regulated learning. This study evaluated self-regulation of learning in children and adolescents exposed to domestic violence. Fifty children and adolescents, whose mothers were victims of domestic violence and 50 whose mothers were not, participated in the study. The group of children and adolescents whose mothers were victims of intimate partner violence registered lower academic performance and the group exposed simultaneously to psychological and physical violence registered lower scores on the self-regulation dimensions of evaluation and execution. The results support the evidence that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact on self-regulation. Also, they suggest that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact in some dimensions of self-regulated learning.

“…Parents' compromised emotional availability is another unique characteristic of family violence as a traumatic stressor (Margolin, 1998;. PTSD symptoms are more likely when a person, not an act of nature, causes the traumatic event, when that person is a trusted individual, and when the victim is a loved one (Green et al, 2000).…”

Exposure to child physical abuse and parents' domestic violence can subject youth to pervasive traumatic stress and lead to Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The often repeating and ongoing nature of family violence exposure may result in youth exhibiting problems in multiple domains of functioning and meeting criteria for multiple disorders in addition to PTSD. These characteristics as well as unique factors related to children's developmental level and symptom presentation complicate a PTSD diagnosis. This paper describes evolving conceptualizations in the burgeoning field of trauma related to family violence exposure, and reviews considerations that inform assessment and treatment planning for this population. KeywordsPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); child physical abuse; domestic violence; complex trauma; Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) Children's interpersonal violence exposure is now recognized as a potential precursor to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in youth with the acknowledgement that extraordinarily stressful events can occur as part of children's customary experiences. Early examples of children's PTSD focused on sudden, out-of-the-ordinary catastrophic events such as sniper attack and natural disaster (Pynoos, et al., 1987); however, recent definitions of trauma stressors have expanded to include events within the range of normal experience that are capable of causing death, injury, or threaten the physical integrity of the child or a loved one (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry [AACAP], 1998; American Psychological Association [APA], 1994). Yet, children's violence exposure poses challenges to current understanding of PTSD: What if the violence exposure is life-long and there is not a discrete precipitating event? Does violence that is not "life-threatening" still qualify as a traumatic event? This paper addresses children's exposure to violence in the home, specifically domestic violence and child physical abuse, as potential precursors to PTSD in children, and provides a foundational framework of knowledge essential to working with youth traumatized by family violence. For a review of treatments with this population, please see Vickerman and Margolin, this issue. Child sexual abuse and community violence, other examples of youth violence exposure, have somewhat different mechanisms of impact and have received attention

“…17,[27][28][29][30] Children who live in homes with intimate partner violence (IPV), as well as other physical and verbal fighting in the home between family members, have higher rates of externalizing behaviors as well as clinical disorders. 27,28,[30][31][32][33][34] Emotion regulation and effortful control, two neurocognitive outcomes linked to externalizing behavior, are also compromised by IPV, with evidence suggesting that parenting can mediate this effect. 35 Such effects may be long lasting, with adults who were exposed to IPV and/or experienced physical maltreatment in childhood at increased risk for perpetrating IPV in adulthood.…”

Role of Direct and Indirect Violence Exposure on Externalizing Behavior in Children

et al. 2016

The objective of this study was to examine the association between externalizing behaviors and indirect violence exposure, assessed both within the household and at the community level, as well as the interaction effect of indirect and direct violence exposure. A sample of parents of children ages 4-15 who have not been referred or enrolled in child welfare (n = 82) were recruited from the greater New Orleans community. Externalizing behavior was assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The child's indirect exposure to violence included witnessing community violence, witnessing physical assault, and witnessing fighting or domestic violence at home. Direct exposure to violence included the child experiencing physical aggression from a caregiver. All assessments were based on caregiver reports. To decrease potential for confounding, children were matched for analysis based on age, Hurricane Katrina exposure, and their propensity to be exposed to high indirect violence. Cumulative indirect exposure to violence was significantly positively correlated with CBCL scores. After controlling for key covariates, CBCL externalizing T score increased significantly by approximately 1.25 points for each level increase in indirect violence exposure (β = 1.25, SE = 0.57, p = 0.027). There also was a significant interaction between indirect and direct exposure to violence in the association with CBCL score (β = −0.08, SE = 0.03, p = 0.002). These findings extend previous research by demonstrating that exposure to both direct and cross-contextual indirect violence influences externalizing behaviors in children. Additionally, the findings suggest that community and household social environments are both important targets for interventions designed to decrease externalizing behaviors and improve longterm outcomes for youth at risk of exposure to violence.KEYWORDS Childhood exposure to violence, Cumulative exposure to violence, Indirect exposure to violence, Direct exposure to violence, Community violence, Household violence, Child physical aggression, Child externalizing behaviors BACKGROUND
