“…2 In addition, IPV occurs most frequently among young couples and families with young children. 42 The current study also focuses on a highly vulnerable population. As described, the occurrence of food insecurity among families with young children has particularly serious developmental consequences for children.…”

“…Second, the proportion of mothers who experienced IPV in the current study is low compared to other samples of young mothers. 42 IPV prevalence rates vary substantially based on the measurement devices used. Although our measure of IPV utilizes the same items as Boyton-Jarrett et al, 54 and attempts to capture the multidimensionality of IPV, a wide range of IPV behaviors was not directly assessed, which could result in IPV to be underestimated.…”

Background: Examination of maternal experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression as risk factors for food insecurity can provide a more nuanced understanding of the role that the family environment and women's health plays in the lives of families with young children that experience food insecurity. We investigated the longitudinal association between mothers' experiences of IPV and household food insecurity, and whether maternal depression mediated the relationship. Methods: IPV, depression, and food insecurity were assessed among 1,690 socioeconomically disadvantaged mothers of young children who participated in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study. Longitudinal multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the association between IPV measured 3 years after the child's birth and increase in food insecurity from child's third to fifth birthday, as well as the mediating role of maternal depression, controlling for a number of maternal and household characteristics. Results: Mothers who reside in food insecure households and those who experience IPV share similar characteristics of socioeconomic disadvantage and a greater propensity for depression compared to their counterparts. Mothers' experiences of IPV predicted an increased risk of household food insecurity two years later, and the relationship was mediated by maternal depression. Conclusions: Food insecure mothers may benefit from widespread assistance. Targeting issues central to women's health must become a priority in combating food insecurity. Having IPV and mental health screenings coincide with food assistance applications may help identify women who would benefit from resources designed to increase physical safety, psychological well-being, and food security.

“…[1][2][3][4] And data are evolving to suggest that corporal punishment (CP), a strong risk factor for child maltreatment, 5,6 co-occurs with IPAV as well. 7,8 The link between CP and IPAV also is intergenerational as experiencing CP in childhood raises risk for subsequent aggression 5,9 and both CP and conduct disorder increase risk for later IPAV perpetration. 10,11 Hence, reducing the use of CP might assist in curbing the cycle of family and community violence.…”

Perceived Social Norms, Expectations, and Attitudes toward Corporal Punishment among an Urban Community Sample of Parents

et al. 2011

Despite the fact that corporal punishment (CP) is a significant risk factor for increased aggression in children, child physical abuse victimization, and other poor outcomes, approval of CP remains high in the United States. Having a positive attitude toward CP use is a strong and malleable predictor of CP use and, therefore, is an important potential target for reducing use of CP. The Theory of Planned Behavior suggests that parents' perceived injunctive and descriptive social norms and expectations regarding CP use might be linked with CP attitudes and behavior. A randomdigit-dial telephone survey of parents from an urban community sample (n=500) was conducted. Perceived social norms were the strongest predictors of having positive attitudes toward CP, as follows: (1) perceived approval of CP by professionals (β=0.30), (2) perceived descriptive norms of CP use (β=0.22), and (3) perceived approval of CP by family and friends (β=0.19); also, both positive (β=0.13) and negative (β=−0.13) expected outcomes for CP use were strong predictors of these attitudes. Targeted efforts are needed to both assess and shift the attitudes and practices of professionals who influence parents regarding CP use; universal efforts, such as public education campaigns, are needed to educate parents and the general public about the high risk/ benefit ratio for using CP and the effectiveness of non-physical forms of child discipline.

“…By contrast, children from two-parent families may be socially advantaged with shared parental monitoring (Thomas & Sawhill, 2005;Fomby & Cherlin, 2007;Olaniyi & Narain, 2008;Waldfogel et al, 2010). However, two-parent families may not fare any better in cases where children are exposed to chronic parental conflict within the home (Slep & O'Leary, 2005). These hostile environments have been shown to be much worse than circumstances experienced by children of single parents (Amato, 2005).…”

This study aimed to determine the effects of family structure and functioning on basic psychological need fulfilment, life goals and aspirations of adolescents in a South African setting. Participants were 457 adolescent learners (Mage = 16.31, SD = 1.45, females = 54%, coloured = 56%) selected from four public schools in the Western Cape, South Africa. The adolescents completed the Family Assessment Device, Aspirations Index and Psychological Needs Scales. Results following multiple regression analysis suggested that a two-parent family structure predicted higher satisfaction of basic psychological needs and higher pursuit of extrinsic goals among adolescents than did a one -parent family structure. Family functioning determined pursuit of intrinsic goals by adolescents from one-parent families.
