“…In addition, the mediating effect of marital status on the relationship between ACEs and unemployment may reflect an increased risk for social isolation and stress among unmarried women with a history of ACEs [50][51][52], further suggesting a need for programs that target single mothers with a history of ACEs [53]. It is not clear why marital status attenuated the relationships of ACEs (except for sexual abuse) with unemployment more differently among women than that among men.…”

HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptPurpose-Our study assesses the relationships between self-reported adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) (including sexual, physical, or verbal abuse, along with household dysfunction including parental separation or divorce, domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, or incarcerated household member) and unemployment status in five US states in 2009.Methods-We examined these relationships using the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey data from 17,469 respondents (aged 18-64 years) who resided in five states, completed the ACE Questionnaire, and provided socio-demographic and social support information. We also assessed the mediation of these relationships by respondents' educational attainment, marital status, and social support.Results-About two-third of respondents reported having had at least one ACEs, while 15.1 % of men and 19.3 % of women reported having had ≥4 ACEs. Among both men and women, the unemployment rate in 2009 was significantly higher among those who reported having had any ACE than among those who reported no ACEs (p < 0.05). Educational attainment, marital status, and social support mediated the relationship between ACEs and unemployment, particularly among women.Conclusions-ACEs appear to be associated with increased risk for unemployment among men and women. Further studies may be needed to better understand how education, marital status, and social support mediate the association between multiple ACEs and unemployment.

“…À l'intérieur d'une population normale de mères, il semble que le stress parental varie en fonction de certaines variables socio-démographiques, notamment en fonction du niveau socio-économique (Strauss et al, 1980), du niveau de scolarité et du statut conjugal (Sack et al, 1985;Éthier et Lafrenière, sous presse) et en fonction de la fréquence et de l'intensité des comportements externalises (agressivité, hyperactivité) de leur enfant (Éthier et Lafrenière, sous presse).…”

RÉSUMÉ Les qualités métrologiques d'une version française du Parenting Stress Index (Abidin, 1983 ; Loyd et Abidin, 1985) sont examinées à partir d'un échantillon de 122 mères québécoises ayant un enfant d'âge préscolaire. Les résultats indiquent que l'inventaire de stress parental possède des indices de consistance interne équivalant à ceux obtenus avec l'échantillon américain. Cependant, les échantillons québécois et américain diffèrent pour 7 sous-échelles sur 13 ainsi qu'au niveau du score du domaine de l'enfant et du score de stress total. Les mères québécoises rapportent des scores plus élevés. L'analyse factorielle des sous-échelles supporte la présence d'une structure hiérarchique constituée d'un facteur général de stress parental et de deux facteurs spécifiques : le domaine de l'enfant et le domaine du parent. Le score du domaine du parent varie selon le niveau socio-économique et le statut conjugal de la mère. L'âge de la mère est négativement corrélé au score du domaine de l'enfant. Le niveau d'agressivité/hyperactivité de l'enfant, tel que perçu par l'éducatrice en classe, est positivement corrélé au score de la sous-échelle Difficulté à accepter les caractéristiques de l'enfant et de la sous-échelle Distraction et hyperactivité de l'enfant. Des normes sont présentées afin de tenir compte des différences observées entre l'échantillon québécois et l'échantillon américain.

“…In contrast to two-parent families, children and parents in single-parent families were ambivalent in their relationship and displayed more conflict (3). Cohen (4) also reported that single parent families were less cohesive than two-parent families and Sack, Mason and Higgins (5) showed that abusive punishment in single-parent families was two times of that of two-parent families.…”

This paper examines whether Chinese adolescents' perceptions (N=3,017) of parental behavioral control (parental knowledge, expectation, monitoring, discipline, and demandingness as well as parental control based on indigenous Chinese concepts), parental psychological control, parent-child relational qualities (perceived parental trust, child's trust of the parents, child's readiness to communicate with the parents, and child's satisfaction with parental control), and adolescent psychological well-being (hopelessness, mastery, life satisfaction and self-esteem) differed in intact and non-intact families. Results showed that relative to non-intact families, parental behavioral control processes were higher and parent-child relational qualities were better in intact families. In contrast, parental psychological control was higher in non-intact families than in intact families. Finally, the psychological well-being of adolescents in non-intact families was poorer than that of adolescents in intact families.
