Sibling conflict management in childhood and adolescence
Sibling relationships represent a critical but underexamined context for the development of conflict management, emotion regulation, and social understanding. Although research across developmental, family, and social psychology has examined aspects of sibling conflict, the literature remains conceptually fragmented and methodologically inconsistent. This scoping review systematically mapped 57 peer-reviewed studies on sibling conflict management…
The Association of Prenatal Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence with Children’s Socioemotional Competence at Five Years Postpartum
Purpose Limited research on social functioning hinders understanding of the developmental effects of prenatal intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure. We examined the association between prenatal IPV exposure and children’s socioemotional competence during the preschool years, exploring maternal sense of mastery, depressive symptoms, and postnatal IPV exposure as potential pathways. Methods Participants included 2,309 mother-child dyads from the…
A Qualitative Exploration of Sibling Relationship Quality Among Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) places children at risk for negative developmental outcomes. However, many IPV-exposed (eIPV) children exhibit resilience, which is promoted by protective factors including positive, caring relationships. Sibling relationships can buffer eIPV children from poor adjustment outcomes but have scarcely been studied. This study explored how eIPV children in middle childhood understood and made meaning of the…
Building Healthy Relationships to End Violence
Illuminating the landscape of sibling relationship quality
This paper used an evidence and gap map (EGM) to advance the scientific understanding of sibling relationship quality among children aged 2 to 18 years by synthesizing literature on 277 empirical studies from 1985 to 2022 to delineate patterns of study design, sampling, and measurement. Most existing research has utilized majority of White, middle-to-upper class, and/or two-caregiver family samples. Nearly 85% (n = 235) of studies used quantitati…
Prenatal Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence and Child Developmental Outcomes
Pregnant women face an increased risk of intimate partner violence (IPV). In addition to the risk of violence faced by women, there is a dual concern for risk of harm to the fetus. Expanding knowledge on childbirth outcomes, other domains of children’s development have been examined in recent literature. Yet, there is limited comprehensive knowledge in the area. This scoping review study, informed by ecobiodevelopmental theory, mapped evidence as…

Victim Service Agency Perspectives on the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Victim service agencies felt widespread impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on their staff, organizational practices, and client populations. This study offers a qualitative exploration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across a broad spectrum of victim service settings, including court-based, mental health, medical, child welfare, interpersonal violence, and advocacy agencies. An electronic survey was completed by Ohio agency workers (N = 17…
Mothers’ Experiences of Emotional Connection During Covid-19 in the United States
Understanding the role of social support in mitigating the stress associated with disease outbreaks is imperative. This qualitative study explored how mothers with children between the ages of 5 and 12 years ( N = 185) in the United States drew on social support resources to maintain emotional connections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were gathered through an online survey. Technology and physically distanced, in-person interactions with a c…

Advancing Child Trauma Screening Practices
Child trauma screening practices have advanced considerably as child-serving systems have increasingly incorporated early identification and intervention into trauma-informed models of care. While research points to the necessity of screening practices that attend to a child's developmental capacities, cultural background, relational strengths, contextual details surrounding the traumatic experience, and complex trauma considerations, many of the…

Service needs of children exposed to domestic violence
Viewing Children’s Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence Through a Developmental, Social-Ecological, and Survivor Lens
Although some children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) demonstrate resilience, the population-level health consequences of exposure across the lifespan and the related social and economic costs of such exposure are enormous. Using a developmental and social-ecological perspective, this article summarizes the literature examining the effects of IPV exposure on children, reviews key underlying mechanisms, and suggests the use of a public…
Economic Burden of Child Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence in the United States
Maternal depression and intimate partner violence exposure
A substantial body of literature has documented the negative effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on a wide range of children's developmental outcomes. However, whether a child's exposure to IPV leads to increased adjustment difficulties is likely to depend on a variety of factors, including the caregiver's mental health and the developmental time period when IPV exposure occurs. The present study seeks to improve our understanding of the l…

Explicating the Social Mechanisms Linking Alcohol Use Behaviors and Ecology to Child Maltreatment
This paper begins to describe and explicate the specific mechanisms by which alcohol use and the alcohol use environment contribute to specific types of child maltreatment. These mechanisms relating alcohol outlet densities to child maltreatment described here include effects on social disorganization, parent's drinking behaviors, and parental supervision. By investigating potential mechanisms, new information could be obtained on the importance …
