  • The role of parenting in mitigating the impact of adverse childhood experiences on mental health

    Open AccessAntonia Witt, Andreas Witt et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2026

    Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established predictors of poor mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Maternal and paternal parenting behaviors, particularly parental warmth, rejection, and control may influence the psychological trajectories of individuals exposed to ACEs. However, the differential roles of maternal and paternal parenting behaviors remain underexplored. This study invest…

  • Bridging knowledge and practice in the prevention of child maltreatment in medicine

    Open AccessAnna Eberhardt, Ulrike Hoffmann et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction Protecting children from maltreatment is an important public health challenge. Despite increasing awareness, deficits exist in the training of healthcare professionals, who play a key role in the detection of maltreatment. Initiatives such as the medical child protection helpline and the online course “Child Protection in Medicine - a basic course for all healthcare professions” have been established in Germany to improve knowledge a…

  • The authoritarian syndrome as an attempt to restore control and its mediating role in anti‐Semitism and xenophobia in Germany

    Open AccessMarius Dilling, Alina Sorrentino et al.ARTICLEAnalyses of Social Issues and…2025

    For many people, the coronavirus pandemic meant an enormous and existential loss of control. At the same time, an increase in right‐wing extremist attitudes like xenophobia could be observed in Germany. In this study, we hypothesize that the loss of control caused by the pandemic has contributed to the rise in xenophobic and anti‐Semitic attitudes in Germany. We propose that this occurs through an attempt to restore control via elements of a revi…

  • Evaluation of the Health‐Related Quality of Life and Mental Health of Parents With Children and Adolescents With a Rare Disease Based on the Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate a F…

    Open AccessAntonia Steinberg, Johannes Boettcher et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2025

    Parents caring for children with rare diseases are more impaired regarding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and mental health than healthy controls and norm data. To address the research gap in psychological care for these parents, this study evaluates the effectiveness of two family‐based interventions. The children affected by rare disease and their families network (CARE‐FAM‐NET) study is a multicenter randomized controlled 2 × 2 factori…

  • Prevalence and prevention of violence against children and adolescents in volunteer work

    Open AccessAnna Eberhardt, Jörg M Fegert et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    These findings highlight the importance of CACs for the development of children and adolescents. However, 7% of people involved in CACs experience at least one form of VCAC, which indicates that there is still room for improvement in the protection of children and adolescents. Furthermore, existing prevention measures are often still insufficiently known, which points to a communication gap. This finding highlights the importance of mandatory saf…

  • Discrimination, stalking, sexual harassment and sexual violence at the university – exploring and predicting pattern-based subcategories among students and staff in a German university sample

    Open AccessMareile Kaufmann, Marie-Theresa Kaufmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    This study, including a high number of both, data from students and employees, highlights the prevalence and co-occurrence of different forms of DSHV in academic settings and demonstrates that experience of one type of DSHV often correlates with vulnerability to others. Greater attention should be given to female students in the natural sciences. As DSHV is group-specific, measures should include both global and in particular targeted components …

  • The role of social support in the association between adolescent emotional and behavioral problems and quality of life in young adulthood in youth residential care leavers

    Open AccessMilou Leiting, Katharina Beck et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Adults with a history of residential out-of-home care (care leavers) often experience emotional and behavioral problems, which can negatively impact quality of life (QoL) into adulthood. Social support can improve mental health and reduce psychological symptoms. However, longitudinal studies examining how early emotional and behavioral problems are associated with the QoL of young adult care leavers are lacking. This study investigated the relati…

    Domestic violence services (DV services) have faced a number of organizational challenges with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualified staff and additional financial resources were quickly needed to meet digitalization requirements; hygiene measures had to be implemented. The aim of this study is to analyze the relation between staff structure and the stress level of employees in the context of the pandemic by controlling for further organi…

  • Long-term consequences of childhood emotional abuse in mothers on parental load and child mental health

    Open AccessKatharina Rost, Emily Gossmann et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2024

    BACKGROUND: Childhood emotional maltreatment can be associated with long-term consequences on mental health. In addition, transgenerational transmission of adverse childhood experiences to the next generation can occur and thus have an impact on the mental health of one's own children. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of stress on the association between childhood emotional maltreatment and parental load what is referr…

  • Joint responses to crying

    Florian Dreyer, Elke Schumann et al.ARTICLEResearch on Children and Social…2024

    One of the fascinating challenges in adult-child interaction is found in the fine-grained coordination of joint activities in the real time of play-interactions. In this contribution we take a closer look at caregiving activities that are jointly carried out by mothers and their five-year-old children. At this age, changing diapers, feeding, and comforting a crying baby (doll) is a challenging activity. The focus of our empirical study is on resp…

  • Victims of Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse

    Open AccessKatrin Chauviré-Geib, Jörg M FegertARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2024

    Over the past two decades, technology-assisted child sexual abuse (TA-CSA) has become the focus of attention in politics, legislation, society, as well as research. However, the majority of literature and studies focus primarily on the offenders. This scoping review therefore aims to illustrate how victims of TA-CSA are represented in studies as primary participants. The databases Embase, PsychInfo, PSYNDEX, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science a…

  • Maternal insecure attachment representation as a long-term risk factor for disrupted mother–child-interaction and child mental health

    Open AccessKatharina Rost, Ute Ziegenhain et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2024

    Maternal childhood maltreatment (CM) represents an important factor in the transmission of trauma that may lead to impaired child mental health. Apart from childhood maltreatment insecure attachment has been identified as a risk factor for insensitive caregiving behavior, which may affect child's mental health. The aim of this study is to identify the working mechanisms in the relationship between maternal CM and child mental health, considering …

However, a subgroup of the population still reports suboptimal family functioning compared to before the pandemic. Psychosocial care and social policy support for families are needed

  • Framework and effects of the life story work based group intervention Ankommen for adolescents in residential care in Germany. A qualitative analysis of interviews with participants

    Open AccessSteffen Schepp, Jörg M Fegert et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2024Referências: 67

    Adolescents in out-of-home care are a high-risk population due to their accumulation of adverse childhood experiences. Furthermore, out-of-home placement itself is a critical life event. Life story work (LSW) is a method for coping with critical life events. However, the need for a high amount of resources makes its implementation in care settings difficult. To improve the accessibility of LSW in residential care, the ANKOMMEN (English “Arriving”…

  • To trust or not to trust in the thrall of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessHanna Kampling, Dennis Riedl et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024Citada por: 1Referências: 40

    Establishing an association between ACEs and conspiracy endorsement further increases the evidence for early childhood adversities' far-reaching and detrimental effects. By including epistemic trust and personality functioning, these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms in the way that ACEs may be associated with conspiracy endorsement

  • Assessing the Gendered General Strain Theory Over Time in Individuals with a Residential Care History

    Stéphanie Habersaat, Sébastien Urben et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2024Referências: 39

    The gendered general strain theory posits that differences in delinquency across gender are due to differences in coping with negative emotions. The present study tests its validity over a 10-year follow-up. We measured exposure to strain, levels of anxiety/depression, anger/irritability, and delinquent behaviors through questionnaires and interviews during residential care (T1) and then 10 years later (T2) in a sample of 80 men and 54 women who …
