“…Apart from personal qualities of the parent, some aspects of the family ecological system level can also affect physical abuse risk. At this level, high family conflict has been reported in families with physically abusive parents (Schaeffer et al 2005;Stith et al 2009), suggesting that physical abuse risk may be associated with stronger family dysfunction (Tucker and Rodriguez 2014). And as previously noted, violence within the couple relationship can spill over to the parent-child relationship, increasing the likelihood of child abuse by either victims or perpetrators of intimate partner violence.…”

Physical child abuse is a global public health concern associated with wideranging adverse outcomes for children and incurring substantial costs for society. Because of variability in defining and reporting physical child abuse worldwide, prevalence rates vary widely, but the consensus opinion is that physical abuse is both pervasive and inadequately tracked through official mechanisms. Nearly all physical abuse of children is perpetrated by parents or alternative caregivers, with whom the child has some attachment. Parents who physically abuse their children are also likely to be involved in other forms of interpersonal violence such as intimate partner violence. A range of factors appears to contribute to parents' risk

“…household chaos with harsh parenting (e.g., Mills-Koonce et al, 2016;Tucker & Rodriguez, 2014), suggesting that these external stressors (lower SES, greater household chaos) affect the way parents interact with their children. At the same time, individual factors, such as parental executive function (EF), or the top-down mental processes that enable goal directed behaviour (Diamond, 2013), have been identified as potentially important correlates of harsh parenting (e.g., Crandall, Deater-Deckard, & Riley, 2015).…”

The Relations Among Stress, Executive Functions, and Harsh Parenting in Mothers

Stress is a common experience in most mothers' lives, and theoretical models posit that mothers' experience of stress may spillover into their parenting behaviours. However, individual factors, such as maternal executive functioning (EF) skills, may buffer the association between stress and parenting. Research has examined these associations using correlational designs with socioeconomic status (SES) and household chaos used as indicators of stress, and has demonstrated inconsistent patterns with regard to the moderating role of EF. The first aim of this study was to replicate previous findings by examining how maternal EF moderates the association between SES and household chaos, and harsh parenting. Furthermore, because correlational research designs preclude the ability to make causal inferences about the effects of stress on parenting, the second aim of this study extended existing research by investigating the effects of experimentally induced stress on harsh parenting behaviours and whether maternal EF moderates these effects. The second aim also investigated these questions in relation to childblaming attributions. To accomplish these aims, a sample of 104 mothers with children (6-10 years old) participated in a laboratory-based study. Mothers completed measures that assessed their EF skills, household chaos, SES, and harsh parenting behaviours. Additionally, mothers were randomly assigned to either a stress group, where they performed a speech in front of a panel of judges, or a control group. Following the stress (or control) induction, mothers rated their child-blaming attributions and harsh parenting behaviours in response to vignettes of common child misbehaviours. Findings from the first aim revealed an interaction between household chaos and EF (assessed with cognitive tasks), such that greater EF skills reduced the association between household chaos and harsh parenting behaviours. However, findings from the second aim indicated no significant effects of experimentally induced stress on child-blaming This study was approved by the Behavioural Research Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia (Approval Certificate Number: H17-02560).

“…U ovom istraživanju viša je razina stresa kod majki povezana s višim rizikom za zlostavljanje adolescenata, što je u skladu s istraživanjima Modela obiteljskoga stresa (Conger i sur., 2010;Wadsworth, Raviv, Compas i Connor-Smith, 2005), ali i s nizom drugih istraživanja koja su se bavila povezanošću stresa i rizika za zlostavljanje adolescenata neovisno o ekonomskim poteškoćama, koja dosljedno pokazuju da je rizik za zlostavljanje djece povezan s većim brojem stresnih događaja, većim doživljajem stresa i roditeljskim stresom (Guterman i sur., 2009;Taylor i sur., 2009;Tucker i Rodriguez, 2014). Majke koje procjenjuju da je učinak stresa izraženiji u njihovu životu pokazuju veći rizik za zlostavljanje svoje djece.…”

“…Moguće je da svakodnevne životne okolnosti, otežane doživljavanjem ekonomskih poteškoća i ekonomskoga pritiska, dovode do više razine stresa, što nadalje smanjuje njihove roditeljske kapacitete, posebice kada su djeca u razvojno osjetljivom razdoblju adolescencije (Ajduković i sur., 2018b). Moguće je i to da doživljaj stresa kod majki u svojoj podlozi ima druge procese na razini pojedinca, poput povećane osjetljivosti ili depresije (Milner, 2003;Tucker i Rodriguez, 2014), koje nismo kontrolirali u ovom istraživanju, a bilo bi korisno istražiti u daljnjim istraživanjima.…”

Cilj rada bio je provjeriti doprinos ekonomskih poteškoća obitelji, ekonomskoga pritiska, doživljaja stresa i obiteljskoga funkcioniranja u predviđanju rizika za zlostavljanje kod majki hrvatskih adolescenata u okviru Modela obiteljskoga stresa. Analizirani uzorak sastoji se od 722 majke učenika prvih razreda srednjih škola iz središnje Hrvatske. Rezultati analiza pokazali su da niži obrazovni status i nezaposlenost roditelja, viša razina stresa te manja razina bliskosti u obitelji, a viša razina konflikata, značajno i visoko predviđaju veći rizik za zlostavljanje adolescenata kod majki. Pri tome bliskost u obitelji i konflikti imaju djelomičan medijacijski učinak na odnos između ekonomskih poteškoća, ekonomskoga pritiska i doživljaja stresa s rizikom za zlostavljanje. Nalazi rada upućuju na važnost kreiranja programa za roditelje adolescenata koji su rizični za zlostavljanje te na važnost kreiranja intervencija u svrhu smanjenja ekonomskih poteškoća za sve obitelji koje se s tim suočavaju. Ključne riječi: Model obiteljskoga stresa, ekonomske poteškoće, obiteljski odnosi, rizik za zlostavljanje Ines Rezo, Studijski centar socijalnog rada, Pravni fakultet,
