Objective: The present investigation used event-related potentials (ERPs, N400 and N300) to determine the extent to which individuals at low and high risk for child physical abuse (CPA) have pre-existing positive and negative child-related schemata that can be automatically activated by ambiguous child stimuli. Methods: ERP data were obtained from…

Objective: Managing a crying infant is a challenge universally faced by new parents. This study examined whether parental interpretations, feelings, and behaviors following exposure to a 2-minute videotaped segment of a crying infant varied as a function of child physical abuse (CPA) risk and exposure to cues of hostility (i.e., hostile priming).…

Assessed attitudes of mothers rated as high risk (HR) and low risk (LR) for abusing their children and their children. HR mothers and their children evaluated conventional and personal transgressions as more wrong than did LR mothers and their children. Compared to LR mothers, HR mothers expected less compliance following moral transgressions and…

Empathic Responsiveness and Affective Reactivity to Infant Stimuli in High- and Low-Risk for Physical Child Abuse Mothers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Milner, Joel S.; And Others – Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 1995
Empathic responsiveness and affective reactivity to infant stimuli were examined in matched groups of mothers (n=45) at either high or low risk for physical child abuse. Low-risk mothers showed an increase in empathy following presentation of a crying infant, whereas high-risk mothers showed no differences in empathy across infant conditions.…
