Patterns of adjustment among children of battered women.

Abstract: Children exposed to interparental violence have been characterized by an array of psychological problems, but findings regarding the precise nature of these problems have been inconsistent. This study used cluster analysis to determine whether distinct patterns of adjustment could be identified in 228 8- to 14-year-old children residing in battered women's shelters. Five such patterns emerged: multiproblem-externalizing, multiproblem-internalizing, externalizing, mild distress, and no problems reported. This s… Show more

“…One possibility is that children show multiple problems in response to interparental violence-that is, a child exposed to domestic violence is likely to show a range of behavioral, social, and academic problems. Another possibility is that children exposed to domestic violence show individual differences in the expression of problems, differences that are masked in many group analyses (Grych, Jouriles, Swank, McDonald, & Norwood, 2000). For example, internalizing and externalizing problems tend to be correlated (Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1991), but studies rarely distinguish children who show only internalizing or externalizing problems from those who show both.…”

“…Although exposure to domestic violence has only recently been recognized as a stressor on par with other forms of abuse, school-age children from homes in which their mothers are abused show similar symptom profiles to children identified as physically maltreated (Jaffe, Wolfe, Wilson, & Zak, 1986b). Children's exposure to marital or interadult relationship violence adversely affects their mental health and places them at risk for injury (Grych, Jouriles, Swank, McDonald, & Norwood, 2000;Jaffe, Wolfe, Wilson, & Zak, 1986a;McCloskey, 2001;McCloskey, Figueredo, & Koss, 1995). Marital violence, for instance, is related to more depression and anxiety in school-age children (Hughes & Luke, 1998;McCloskey et al, 1995).…”

“…Por otro lado, coincidiendo con Bair-Merritt et al (2006), Grych et al (2000), Jaffe et al (2002), Kernick et al (2003), Kitzmann et al (2003), Margolin & Vickerman (2007), y Sternberg et al (2006), los problemas que presentan son tanto internalizantes (ansiedad/depresión, retraimiento, quejas somáticas) como externalizantes (agresividad). Los resultados del estudio indican también que ambos sexos se ven afectados negativamente, coincidiendo con Maxwell y Maxwell (2003), aunque en este estudio son las niñas las que presentan mayor afectación coincidiendo con los resultados de Lemmy et al (2001) y Sternberg et al (1993); si bien las diferencias sólo son estadísticamente significativas en el síndrome empírico Problemas Sociales.…”

“…Sternberg et al (2006) apuntan que los menores expuestos a violencia de género tienen una probabilidad dos veces mayor que los menores no expuestos de presentar problemas internalizantes o emocionales (ansiedad, depresión y somatizaciones), y externalizantes o problemas de conducta (conducta no normativa y agresión). En esta línea, numerosos estudios documentan tasas elevadas en ambos tipos de problemas (Bair-Merritt, Blackstone, & Feudtner, 2006;Grych, Jouriles, Swank, McDonald, & Norwood, 2000;Jaffe, Moffitt, Caspi, Taylor, & Arseneault, 2002;Kernick, Wolf, Holt, McKnight, Huebner, & Rivara, 2003;Kitzmann, Gaylord, Holt, & Kenny, 2003;Margolin & Vickerman, 2007), incluso cuando otros factores de riesgo son controlados (Hazen, Connelly, Kelleher, Barth, & Landsverk, 2006). Grych et al (2000), con una muestra de 228 hijos/as de mujeres maltratadas en casas de acogida (8 y 14 años), encontraron que el 21% revelaron problemas externalizantes y señalaron que estos eran más comunes que los internalizantes.…”
