Abstract

This study identifies predictors of favorable attitudes toward spanking. Analyses were performed with survey data collected from a representative sample of 1,000 adults from Quebec, Canada. According to this survey, a majority of respondents endorsed spanking, despite their recognition of potential harm associated with corporal punishment (CP) of children. The prediction model of attitudes toward spanking included demographics, experiencing or witnessing various forms of family violence and abuse in childhood, and perceived frequency of physical injuries resulting from CP. Spanking was the most reported childhood experience (66.4%), and most violence and abuse predictors were significantly and positively correlated. Older respondents who were spanked in childhood and who believed that spanking never or seldom results in physical injuries were the most in favor of spanking. On the other hand, respondents who reported more severe physical violence or psychological abuse in childhood were less in favor of spanking. Findings are discussed in terms of prevention of CP and family coercion cycle.

202. Links between parental psychological violence, other family disturbances, and children's adjustment.

Abstract

In a sample of 143 parent-child dyads from two-parent and separated families, this investigation documented the links between parental psychological violence and separation or divorce, severity of parental conflict, triangulation of the child in this conflict, and polarized parent-child alliances. The unique and combined contributions of all these variables to children's behavior problems were also assessed. Participants were parents, mostly mothers, and their 10–12-year-old child. They were recruited through schools, community organizations, and newspapers. Questionnaires were administered at home. Findings suggest that separated families undergo more relational disturbances than two-parent families (more severe conflicts, more triangulation, stronger parent-child alliances), but the amount of parental psychological violence was similar in both groups. Psychological violence was associated with the severity of parental conflict, especially in two-parent families. Triangulation of the child in parental conflict was another correlate of psychological violence. Once all variables were controlled for, psychological violence remained the only significant correlate of children's externalized behavior problems. These findings raise the importance of preventing psychological violence toward children, especially in families plagued with severe parental conflicts.

203. L’aliénation parentale : un bilan des connaissances et des controverses

Author

Abstract

Le phénomène d’aliénation parentale, parfois qualifié de «syndrome», désigne généralement les situations où un enfant en vient à rejeter l’un de ses parents, autrefois aimé, sous l’influence de son autre parent. De tels cas s’observeraient typiquement en contexte de séparation conjugale, surtout lorsque les ex-conjoints entretiennent des conflits importants. Ce phénomène a suscité de multiples controverses entre les experts des domaines judiciaire, social et de la santé mentale. Étant donné la confusion conceptuelle qui entoure l’aliénation parentale et l’absence d’outils fiables et valides pour en évaluer la présence, très peu d’études empiriques ont été menées dans ce domaine et les connaissances actuelles demeurent parcellaires. Par exemple, il est difficile d’estimer l’ampleur du phénomène et d’avoir une idée juste sur son étiologie. Cet article propose un survol des principales controverses qui entourent le phénomène d’aliénation parentale et dresse un bilan de ce qu’on en connaît. Il conclut qu’une lecture plus écologique du problème devrait guider le développement de la recherche et des pratiques dans ce domaine., Parental alienation, sometimes described as a “syndrome,” refers to situations where a child rejects a previously loved parent under the influence of his or her other parent. Such cases are typically observed in the context of separation and divorce, especially when ex-spouses are still in conflict. This phenomenon has instigated many controversies between experts in the forensic, social, and mental health fields. Given the conceptual confusion characterizing parental alienation and the lack of valid and reliable tools to assess its presence, very few empirical studies have been performed in this field and knowledge is still fragmented. For instance, it is difficult to assess the scope of the phenomenon and to get a fair idea of its aetiology. This paper provides an overview of the main controversies surrounding parental alienation and summarizes what is known about it. It concludes that a more ecological viewpoint should guide the development of research and practice in this field.

216. Family dynamics associated with the use of psychologically violent parental practices

Author

Gagné, Marie-Hélène, Bouchard, Camil, Gagné, Marie-Hélène, and Bouchard, Camil

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the family dynamics that are associated with parental psychological violence. A qualitative theorizing analysis has been performed upon the content of 26 interviews with parents and practitioners, in order to: (1) develop a typology of family dynamics conducive to psychologically violent parental practices, and (2) provide some support to this typology by confronting it with other data and real life cases. The results suggest four types of families in which psychological violence is likely to occur, characterized respectively by a scapegoat child, a domineering and intolerant father, a rigid and manipulative mother, and a chaotic and incompetent parent. Participants’ explanations of the occurrence of psychological violence in a given family support the proposed typology: a different explanatory profile is associated with each type of psychologically violent family. Furthermore, the typology has been submitted to practitioners working in the fields of child protection and community family support, who applied the typology to real files in their caseloads in order to assess its usefulness in clinical settings. This procedure supported the relevance of the proposed typology for practice.

217. Incorporating diverse understandings of Indigenous identity: toward a broader definition of cultural safety for urban Indigenous youth

Author

Fast, Elizabeth, Drouin-Gagné, Marie-Ève, Bertrand, Nahka, Bertrand, Swaneige, and Allouche, Zeina

Abstract

This article explores the concept of cultural safety in relation with the diversity of cultural identities experienced by urban Indigenous youth. While the existing literature focuses on educating health care providers on the historical context and resultant disparities in social determinants of health among Indigenous Peoples, little attention has been given to how these histories have impacted the ways in which urban Indigenous Peoples have negotiated their identities. We contend that the numerous ways in which urban Indigenous identities have been impacted by colonial policies have many implications for urban service providers and policy-makers, and for the meaning of cultural safety in this context. Drawing on participatory research that employed Indigenous methodologies, with 20 urban Indigenous youth living in Montreal, we outline some guiding principles in addressing questions of Indigenous identity among urban youth, and their relevance to the definition and application of cultural safety concept and practices.

241. Association between child welfare reporting rates and the developmental vulnerability of kindergarten children at the neighborhood level.

Abstract

In Canada, more than one in four children are considered vulnerable in at least one domain of development when they enter kindergarten. Recent studies have suggested that this ratio is higher among those who were previously maltreated. However, little is known about this associations at the neighborhood level, although it may be an interesting way to identify risk areas and highlight child welfare system data to prevent public health issues. Using the census tract as the unit of measurement, this study examines the association between the proportions of vulnerable children in different domains of development upon entering kindergarten, and four indicators of child maltreatment (CM) among 0–5 year olds. This study is based on the secondary use of data from a survey on the development of kindergartners carried out in 2017, combined with data from child welfare records for that same year. The data have been aggregated on the basis of 759 census tracts located in four health regions of Quebec, Canada. The results of spatial regression analyses show that all indicators of maltreatment are positively and significantly associated with each indicator of developmental vulnerability. The size of these associations varies according to the indicators used (β = 0.192, p <.05 to β = 1.587, p <.001). The results highlight the link between CM and school readiness, including potential externalities on neighborhood children. Neighborhoods at high risk of maltreatment could help identify areas with high rate of vulnerable children in early childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
