Item Maternal experiences of childhood emotional abuse : relations with toddler dysregulation(2019-08-22) Aviles, Ashleigh Iris; Hazen, Nancy Lynn; Jacobvitz, DeborahEarly childhood emotional abuse is a prevalent yet understudied phenomenon; the intergenerational effects of psychological maltreatment are not understood. The links between maternal experiences of emotional abuse in childhood, maternal caregiving behaviors, and toddler emotion dysregulation were examined in 125 mother-toddler dyads. Emotional abuse was assessed through an original coding system created by the author for use with Adult Attachment Interviews. Maternal experiences of emotional abuse, but not physical or sexual abuse, were related to emotional dysregulation. Maternal caregiving did not mediate the relation between emotionally abusive experiences and toddler dysregulation; mothers who experienced emotional abuse during childhood were not less sensitive with their children during caregiving. The effects of other types of abuse are also tested and implications are discussed.Item Men’s experience of abuse in intimate partnerships : impact and implications(2011-05) Gonzalez, Jarod Joshua; Rochlen, Aaron B.; Busch-Armendariz, NoelMen who experience abuse in their relationships can undergo emotional hardships, suffer injuries, and can experience various psychological problems. Cultural gender norms create barriers in receiving the appropriate help men need. Large population based studies show that men do in fact experience incidents of physical and emotional abuse yet men are often overlooked in the domestic violence literature. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important societal problem that needs to be evaluated and addressed for both genders, even if women are the primary victims of IPV. This report will present research regarding the prevalence of female-perpetrated abuse and discuss implications within the literature. The impact and consequences IPV has on men will be reviewed as well as barriers men face in getting help. New questions will be posed that need addressing and practical implications will be provided for researchers and mental health practitioners.
