Child Psychological Maltreatment (6)
Tara ties her daughter up at night while she goes out. This is an example of an act of this
act of commission [doing, rather than not, such as emotional neglect (omission)]
John, who was small for his age, was frequently beat up after school. The older boys who beat him up told him he was weak, a wimp, and a nerd. What is this an example of?
Bullying (i.e., aggressive or mean-spirited behavior that occurs repeated and has the underlying intent to harm or disturb the target)
This is the most commonly included type of IPV in surveys
physical
Batterers and sexually violent men believe that the frequency is this, in comparison to what it actually is
double; they overestimate prevalence of others’ abusive behaviors and believe it is more common than it actually is (normalized behavior = increased frequency)
Bob frequently disables his wheelchair to keep Larry from leaving their apartment, an example of this type of disability
Physical disability
These people are the primary perpetrators of child psychological maltreatment
Biological parents are the primary perpetrators of CPM, accounting for 73 percent of reported emotional abuse cases and 90 percent of reported emotional neglect cases
Perpetration of bullying is found to lead to perpetration of this
Sexual harassment (i.e., unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature)
This racial group has been found to have the highest/higher rates of IPV
Native Americans and Alaska Natives
This is an example of a community-level risk factor of IPV
These are some of the reasons rates of intimate abuse of people with disabilities vary tremendously
1. Disability is not defined the same way
2. Small, convenience samples used
3. Omitting types of disabilities (e.g., not asking about sensory disabilities)
Acts of _____ are associated with schizotypal, borderline, narcissistic disorders, while acts of ______ are associated with paranoid and avoidant disorders
commission (emotional abuse);omission (emotional neglect)
This concept holds that males are superior to females, and should have more power, status, and privilege
Hegemonic masculinity
Victims of IPV are most likely to turn to this group for help
Family and friends (informal help providers)
This is one of the largest criticisms of using restorative justice for cases of IPV
Failure to address the power imbalances and broader social inequalities that contribute to IPV
Bernard is wheelchair-bound. His partner Gail recently moved them into a second-story apartment without an elevator. What risk factor of IPV does this action increase?
social isolation (also a risk factor that tends to increase among those with disabilities)
These are the proposed subtypes of child psychological maltreatment (hint: there are six)
Spurning (e.g., verbal and nonverbal hostile rejecting/degrading behaviors)
Terrorizing (e.g., caregiver behaviors that harm or threaten harm to a child or child’s loved ones or possessions)
Exploiting/corrupting (e.g., encouraging inappropriate behaviors in a child)
Emotional unresponsiveness (e.g., ignoring a child’s needs or failing to express positive affect toward a child)
Isolating (e.g., denying a child opportunities to interact/communicate with others)
Mental health/medical/educational neglect (e.g., failing to provide for a child’s needs in these areas)
Just after trying ecstasy for the first time, Sarah was sexually assault at a friend’s house party. This is an example of this rape myth
Worthy victim
What is it called when police are required to make an arrest if they have probable cause to believe that IPV has occurred?
Mandatory arrest policy; different from preferred arrest (this is encouraged, but not required)
Female perpetrators of IPV are more likely to do this, while men are more likely to threaten/threaten to kill or kill their partner/those close to them
Harm themselves or destroy partner's property
Women are frequently stereotyped as this, which may contribute to the tendency of service providers to overlook the possibility that they are victims of intimate violence
asexual or undesirable (especially for cases of sexual abuse)
Schools are an important place to consider when it comes to intervention and prevention of child psychological maltreatment for these several reasons
1. Large amount of time spent in school
2. Adult role models present can help children suffering from psychological maltreatment for secure attachments and develop social skills/appropriate relationships
3. Development of protective factors, such as self-esteem
These are the four areas that prevention programs in schools need to address
(1) Explicitly challenge hegemonic masculine norms and replace them with more egalitarian norms; (2) provide opportunities to learn about and practice healthy relationships skills; (3) address sexual health and other relevant issues; and (4) empower youth to recognize and intervene in sexual harassment and other forms of sexual violence
The population economic burden of victims of IPV is nearly this amount
Nearly $3.6 trillion, even as they do not include all costs, such as social services associated with IPV
Regarding mandatory or preferred arrest policies, arrests are only effective for those with this
These are some reasons why elder abuse is underreported
1. Lack of seeing abuse as a crime
2. Emotional commitment to the perpetrator
3. Shame, fear, or retaliation
4. Physical/financial dependency
