This study examined the intergenerational transmission of abuse among a sample of 681 teen, adult low, and adult high resource first-time mothers. Participants ranged in age from 14 to 36 years, with a mean of 20 years. Exposure to childhood emotional and physical abuse was associated with 6-month parenting behavior; but not parenting knowledge. Teen mothers, as opposed to adult mothers, had higher mean scores for exposure to childhood emotional and physical abuse. Adult high resource mothers reported lower mean scores on each abuse outcome than both teen and adult low resource mothers. For the total sample of mothers, as past exposure to emotional and physical abuse increased, maternal responsivity decreased, and opinions towards, and propensities for, abusive behavior increased.
本研究调查了681名青少年、成年低资源和成年高资源初为人母者样本中的虐待行为代际传递情况。参与者年龄在14至36岁之间,平均年龄为20岁。童年时期遭受情感和身体虐待与6个月时的养育行为有关;但与养育知识无关。与成年母亲相比,青少年母亲童年时期遭受情感和身体虐待的平均得分更高。成年高资源母亲在每项虐待结果上的平均得分均低于青少年和成年低资源母亲。对于母亲的总样本,随着过去遭受情感和身体虐待情况的增加,母亲的反应性降低,对虐待行为的看法和倾向增加。
