Summary
Children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) are more likely to develop emotional-behavioral disabilities (EBD). Increased violence exposure correlates with higher EBD risk, highlighting the need for screening and support.
Area of Science:
- Child Psychology
- Developmental Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant adverse childhood experience.
- Exposure to IPV is linked to academic, behavioral, and mental health challenges in children.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review empirical studies on the relationship between children's exposure to IPV and emotional-behavioral disabilities (EBD).
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of empirical studies examining IPV exposure and EBD in children under 18.
- Analysis of three identified empirical studies.
Main Results:
- Few dated studies exist on the IPV-EBD relationship in children.
- Children exposed to IPV show a higher likelihood of EBD compared to other disabilities.
- Higher frequency of IPV exposure is associated with increased risk of EBD.
Conclusions:
- Children exposed to IPV are at greater risk for EBD.
- Practitioners should screen for IPV exposure in children with severe emotional or behavioral difficulties.
- Future research needs to directly collect child-reported IPV exposure data.

Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy.

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...
