Alternatively, child abuse risk is measured, serving as an estimate of a parent’s likelihood to engage in child maltreatment, by assessing the attitudes and behaviors predictive of subsequent referral for maltreatment. The findings are discussed in reference to future cross-cultural work that may need to better examine how factors may or may not be universal to craft more culturally informed child abuse prevention programs.ĭespite abuse reporting laws, only a fraction of maltreatment is officially reported to child protective services, complicating the ability of researchers to solely rely on substantiated reports of abuse. When considered alongside the socio-cognitive risk factors, greater social support satisfaction did not significantly relate to child abuse risk for either sample. Although effects were observed for the approval of parent-aggression for the child abuse risk of both samples, such approval did not appear to be related to the Peruvian mothers’ actual use of such tactics. mothers relative to the salience of lower frustration tolerance for Peruvian mothers.
Using multi-group regression analyses, the current investigation identified that lower empathy was more salient for the abuse risk of U.S. Based on the premise that the parents’ child abuse risk is affected by both risk and protective factors, the current study considered how specific SIP socio-cognitive risk factors (acceptability of parent–child aggression as a discipline approach empathic ability frustration tolerance) as well as social support satisfaction as a resource related to child abuse risk by comparing a sample of mothers in Peru ( n = 102) with a sample of mothers in the U.S. Much of the research conducted on social information processing (SIP) factors predictive of child abuse risk has been conducted in North America, raising questions about how applicable such models may be in other cultures.
