Abstract:

Approximately 30 observational studies have compared parent-child interactions in families where parents have a history of child physical abuse and/or neglect versus in families from similar sociodemographic backgrounds where parents have no history of abuse or neglect. Drawing conclusions from this research currently is difficult because findings appear conflicted and many studies are underpowered. We present a meta-analysis of parental behaviors falling into three general clusters: positivity, aversiveness, and involvement. When comparing maltreating (physically abusive or neglectful) versus nonmaltreating parents, mean weighted effect sizes for these three clusters range from d = .50 to .65. Physically abusive parents are distinguished more so than neglectul partns from nonmaltreating parents in terms of aversive behavior, whereas the reverse is true for involvement. Finally, parent and child age, observation length, and task structure moderate the magnitude (though not direction) of differences. Our meta-analysis provides a clearer picture of the nature and extent of differences in the ways that physically abusive, neglectful, and nonmaltreating parents interact with their children.
