Resilience following childhood maltreatment has received substantial empirical attention, with the number of studies on this construct growing exponentially in past decade. While there is ample interest, inconsistencies remain about how to conceptualize and assess resilience. Further, a lack consensus developmental stage influences resilience protective factors affect its expression. The current systematic review uses lens synthesize findings child maltreatment. Specifically, article...

Neighborhoods have profound impacts on children and families. Using structural equation modeling data from 4,898 in the Fragile Families Child Wellbeing Study, current study examines direct indirect effects of neighborhood poverty likelihood being maltreated at age 5. Two social processes, cohesion informal control, were examined as mediators. The found that was indirectly related to physical assault psychological aggression through its impact cohesion, neglect control. results highlight...

Aggression continues to be a serious problem among children, especially those children who have experienced adverse life events such as maltreatment. However, there are many maltreated show resilient functioning. This study investigated potential protective factors (i.e., child prosocial skills, internalizing well-being, and caregiver well-being) that promoted positive adaptation increased the likelihood of engaging in healthy, normative range aggressive behavior, despite experiencing...

Abstract This study identified coparenting patterns using data collected across 2007–2010 from low‐income couples ( N = 2915; 26.90% non‐Hispanic White; 9.41% Black; 34.24% Hispanic, 29.27% other or mixed race) with young children M 3.65 years; SD 1.31 48% girls) and examined relations children's social–emotional adjustment. Latent profile analysis revealed four patterns: mutual high‐quality (43.4%), moderate‐quality, mothers less positive (31.8%), fathers (15.9%), low‐quality, (8.9%). When...

Given the high burden of child maltreatment, there is an urgent need to know more about resilient functioning among those who have experienced maltreatment. The aims study were to: 1) identify distinct profiles resilience across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social domains in young children involved welfare system; 2) examine maltreatment characteristics family protective factors relation identified profiles. A secondary analysis was conducted using data from National Survey Child...

Abstract In this study we investigated whether witnessing violence and victimization were associated with children's internalizing externalizing behavior problems examined the mediating role of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms in these relationships. Secondary data analysis was conducted using 3 waves from National Survey Child Adolescent Well‐Being. Path analyses to test direct indirect effects exposure on problems, 2,064 children (ages 8–15 years) reported Protective Services for...

Abstract This is the first study to examine mediating effects of deviant peer affiliation on association between different types child maltreatment and adolescent substance use that includes alcohol, tobacco, marijuana. Peer deviance a well‐established correlate use, but most studies exploring relationship have failed include deviance. Structural equation modelling was conducted direct each type (i.e., physical, sexual, emotional abuse, neglect) as well indirect via affiliation, using...

The current study applied a family systems approach to examine dyadic parental risk factors linked with mother-father co-involved physical abuse, neglect, sexual and emotional abuse. Parental substance use, mental health problems, disability medical conditions, inadequate housing, economic insecurity, intimate partner violence, prior maltreatment history were investigated as key at the level. Logistic regression analysis was conducted using national child welfare administrative data from...

Abstract Substantial research has linked childhood maltreatment to the development of substance use in adolescence. However, gender differences mechanisms that connect child abuse and neglect remain unclear. In this study, we applied multiple‐group structural equation modeling a sample 1,161 youths (boys, n = 552; girls, 609) from Longitudinal Studies Child Abuse Neglect (LONGSCAN) examine associations between exposure ages 0–12 years severity at age 18 as mediated by early 14 psychological...

Father involvement in parenting can promote children's positive development. Despite the growing literature on father involvement, little is known about heterogeneity among Latino fathers.

This qualitative study used in-depth interviews with 23 pediatric emergency room social workers to explore the interplay of primary trauma experienced by children and families secondary workers. The analysis a grounded theory approach developed conceptual model cycle trauma, whereby child family can lead workers' which further impacts on client care that may exacerbate trauma. To interrupt this cycle, trauma-informed hospitals should address both in rooms.

This special issue offers a series of papers that use the resilience portfolio model (RPM) to explore multidimensional, strength-based approaches in wide variety communities. The field is urgently need research helps identify factors help people thrive despite exposure violence and other trauma. We know how typically overcome victimization adverse experiences if we are going improve intervention minimize global burden this consider portfolios across geographic locations, forms trauma,...
