Abusive mothers: Perceptions of their own and their children's behavior.
Authors:Rosenberg, Mindy S.   Reppucci, N. Dickon
Abstract:
Examined the role of parental perceptions, interpretations, and attributions in child abuse within a social-situational model. This model assumes that certain stimuli (e.g., perceptions) elicit and/or maintain abusive interactions in specific social "triggering" contexts. 12 abusive and 12 nonabusive mothers' (mean age 24.4 yrs) perceptions of their own and their children's behavior, particularly perceptions of intent, negative disposition, and childrearing abilities were studied in 3 triggering contexts: breaking an object, disobedience, and continual crying. Ss also completed the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. No group differences were found in perceptions of intent and disposition. Abusive Ss offered more positive explanations in situations in which their child broke an object and would not stop crying, and they felt significantly more doubt and anger in the disobedience and crying situations. Abusive Ss also faced significantly more stress than the nonabusive group. (33 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
