Child-To-Parent Violence and Parental Psychological Disorders: Serial Multiple Mediation of Social Support, Self-Efficacy and Emotional Dysregulation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Research about child-to-parent violence (CPV) has increased significantly, although studies from a parental perspective are scarce. Parents describe a lack of social support and psychological distress in the context of CPV. This study explores the mediating roles of social support, self-efficacy and emotional dysregulation in the relationship between CPV and psychological disorders in a sample of 1017 Spanish parents. A serial mediation model was conducted. Social support played a serial mediator role, followed by self-efficacy and emotional dysregulation, in the relationship between CPV and psychological disorders. The results highlight the need to intervene with parents to prevent or mitigate the psychosocial impact of CPV.
