Abstract

This study examined the interactive effect of mothers' exposure to caregiver intimate partner violence (IPV) during childhood and the amount of violence experienced with a current partner on negative parenting practices. Mothers ( N = 119) were recruited from community sites serving individuals experiencing IPV.

FINDINGS indicated that the following childhood IPV exposure variables moderated the association between current IPV severity and negative parenting practices: total types of IPV witnessed ( B = 0.01, t = 2.65, p <.01), witnessing sexual IPV ( B = 0.02, t = 2.16, p <.05), and witnessing psychological IPV ( B = 0.03, t = 2.79, p <.01).

RESULTS highlight the intergenerational effect of violence and the importance of addressing trauma across the family system.
