Factor Structure and Validity of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form

Mary E. Haskett; Lisa S. Ahern; Caryn Sabourin Ward; Jason C. Allaire

The psychometric properties of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) were examined in a sample of 185 mothers and fathers. Factor analysis revealed 2 reasonably distinct factors involving parental distress and dysfunctional parent-child interactions. Both scales were internally consistent, and these scales were correlated with measures of parent psychopathology, parental perceptions of child adjustment, and observed parent and child behavior. PSI-SF scores were related to parent reports of child behavior 1 year later, and the Childrearing Stress subscale was a significant predictor of a parental history of abuse.

Absence of males in maltreatment research: a survey of recent literature

Mary E. Haskett; Bryte Marziano; Eva R. Dover

This paper provides a review of research in the area of physical maltreatment with respect to the degree to which males are represented in research samples. The systematic, comprehensive review includes 126 articles published between the years 1989 and 1994 in nine primary journals. Results show that adult males are dramatically underrepresented in this research. Specifically, males were included in fewer than one-half (47.7%) of the 77 articles reviewed and the total number and percentage of males in research samples was significantly less than the number and percentage of females. Only three studies included males exclusively, yet 40 studies involved solely female participants. Of the studies that did include men, only 37.5% provided an evaluation of gender differences. Research involving abused children showed a much greater representation of male subjects than research with adult participants. Only four of 49 studies of abused children were based exclusively on girls; a full 62.8% included an equal representation of boys and girls.

SYNOPSIS Objective. This study examined interactions between parenting beliefs and parenting behaviors in the prediction of early childhood externalizing and internalizing symptoms. Design. The authors observed sensitive and negative intrusive parenting behaviors during infancy and toddlerhood in conjunction with self-reported maternal beliefs about the importance of discipline/control and concerns regarding spoiling in a community sample of 185 African American and European American mother–child dyads. Multiple regression techniques modeled interactions between parenting self-reported parenting beliefs and observed parenting behaviors to predict mother-reported child internalizing symptoms and mother-reported child externalizing symptoms at 30 and 36 months. The analyses also explored the role of ethnicity as a moderator of these relations. Results. The combination of high and average spoiling beliefs and low levels of sensitive parenting was associated with elevated child internalizing symptoms. Negative parenting and beliefs reflecting concerns about spoiling were independent risk factors for elevated child externalizing symptoms. Conclusion. Parenting beliefs and behaviors should be considered jointly to identify risks for the development of early behavior problems.

Promoting Positive Parenting in the Context of Homelessness

Staci Perlman; Beryl Cowan; Abigail H. Gewirtz; Mary E. Haskett; Lauren Stokes

Recent national reports suggest that nearly 1,000,000 families with children experience homelessness and that this number is rising (National Center on Family Homelessness, 2009; U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2010; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2011). Families experiencing homelessness are disproportionately more likely to have experienced economic, health, and social risk factors. These experiences can adversely influence the parent-child relationship. The purpose of this article is to (a) review the literature on the determinants and contextual issues of parenting in shelters; (b) describe specific programs that are focused on positive parenting in the context of homelessness; and (c) provide practice, research, and policy recommendations for supporting positive parenting among families living without homes.

The Parent Opinion Questionnaire and Child Vignettes for Use with Abusive Parents: Assessment of Psychometric Properties

Mary E. Haskett; Susan Smith Scott; Michael T. Willoughby; Lisa S. Ahern; Kennard Nears

Psychometric properties of the Parent Opinion Questionnaire (POQ) and the Child Vignettes (CV) were examined. Participants included 78 abusive and 77 comparison mothers and fathers. Scores on the POQ were very low, and there were no differences between abusive and comparison parents on any of the six rationally-derived scales of the POQ or the full scale. Results of factor analysis and assessment of internal consistency did not support the six scales. Full scale scores were associated with parental psychopathology, parenting stress, self-reported discipline practices, and IQ, but were unrelated to observed parenting behavior. On the CV, abusive parents indicated more negative attributions and harsher intended punishment for childrens aversive behavior than did comparison parents. Negative attribution ratings and intended punishment ratings on the CV were related to parental psychopathology and parenting stress; scores on intended punishment were related to parents’ perceptions of their childrens adjustment, self-reported disciplinary practices, and observed negative parenting behavior.

Given the well-documented, long-term, negative mental health consequences of child sexual abuse, it is important that children receive counseling following abuse. Often, the social workers responsibility is to insure that abused children are appropriately referred for counseling following disclosure of sexual abuse. There are multiple factors that could facilitate or hinder this process, and identification of these factors is important in assisting families in becoming engaged in therapy. The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the extent of the problem of sexual abuse victims failing to keep their first scheduled therapy appointment, and (2) identify factors associated with failure to attend. Subjects were 129 consecutive child sexual abuse clients referred to long-term therapy by counselors at a crisis intervention center. Those who attended their first therapy session (n = 84) were found to differ from those who did not (n = 45) on the basis of their race, the center to which they were referred (private or public), whether the family had a telephone in the home, and whether the childs mother agreed that the family needed counseling. Implications of this study for increasing attendance at therapy are presented and recommendations are made for further research.

Subgroups of physically abusive parents based on cluster analysis of parenting behavior and affect.

Mary E. Haskett; Susan Smith Scott; Caryn Sabourin Ward

Cluster analysis of observed parenting and self-reported discipline was used to categorize 83 abusive parents into subgroups. A 2-cluster solution received support for validity. Cluster 1 parents were relatively warm, positive, sensitive, and engaged during interactions with their children, whereas Cluster 2 parents were relatively negative, disengaged or intrusive, and insensitive. Further, clusters differed in emotional health, parenting stress, perceptions of children, and problem solving. Children of parents in the 2 clusters differed on several indexes of social adjustment. Cluster 1 parents were similar to nonabusive parents (n = 66) on parenting and related constructs, but Cluster 2 parents differed from nonabusive parents on all clustering variables and many validation variables. Results highlight clinically relevant diversity in parenting practices and functioning among abusive parents.

Intervention with Cocaine-Abusing Mothers

Mary E. Haskett; Janet W. Miller; Jay M. Whitworth; Joseph M. Huffman

Increasingly, human services professionals are faced with the challenge of providing services to families of mothers who are addicted to cocaine and other drugs. The existing literature provides little guidance for meeting the needs of families in this emerging area of service provision. The authors describe a multidisciplinary approach to serving mothers who abuse cocaine, with the goal of providing a model for development of services for this population of high-risk parents and their vulnerable children. An overview of the problem of cocaine use by pregnant women is provided, followed by a detailed description of the specific services included in a hospital-based intervention program.

Social Problem-Solving Skills of Young Physically Abused Children

Mary E. Haskett

The ability of physically abused children to resolve hypothetical social problems was compared to the social problem-solving skills of a comparison group of nonabused children. Analyses indicated that the abused children generated a more narrow range of solutions and were more likely to perseverate on negative solutions Implications for intervention and future research are made.

Lessons From Katrina: Disaster Mental Health Service in the Gulf Coast Region

Mary E. Haskett; Susan Smith Scott; Kennard Nears; Marc A. Grimmett

In this article, 4 mental health professionals provide firsthand accounts of experiences as volunteers inthe Gulf Coast region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the fall of 2006. These accounts areprovided with the goal of informing psychologists and other mental health providers about the role ofvolunteers from a frontline perspective. The authors offer these observations as a compliment to formaltraining in disaster preparedness that psychologists might receive for volunteer service in the wake of adevastatingdisaster.Specifically,theauthorsdiscussthetrainingtheyreceived,thesettingsinwhichtheyworked, and the client needs and mental health skills they used to meet those needs. Last, the lessons theauthors learned about providing disaster mental health services are discussed. It is hoped that theseobservations might inspire others to lend their expertise and compassion in response to future cata-strophic events.Keywords: disaster mental health, Hurricane Katrina, psychological first aid
