To compare interpersonal values of women who abuse their children and those of nonabusive women, 60 women with children under five years were divided into two groups of 30 each on the basis of known abuse or nonabuse of their children. Responses to a Personal Data Sheet for relevant background and Gordon's (1976) Survey of Interpersonal Values indicated that the women who abused their children valued conformity and benevolence less and authority over others more than did the nonabusive subjects. No differences were found in values of support, recognition, or independence. The abusive mothers seemed to derive little satisfaction from nurturant or social role-fulfilling behaviors, while experiencing considerable frustration of their power needs
