Participants were mothers and children from the community and battered women's shelters. Battered mothers endorsed higher levels of Permissive parenting than did non-battered mothers. Contrary to predictions, shelter mothers endorsed greater Authoritative parenting than did battered community mothers, and battered community mothers showed a trend toward greater Authoritarian parenting. After controlling for critical factors, parenting style explained significant variance in child functioning at Time 3. In particular, maternal use of Verbal Hostility appeared to exacerbate internalizing and externalizing problems over time, and maternal Permissiveness contributed to poorer school performance. Authoritative parenting appeared to promote child adjustment in the face of domestic violence and life adversity. Results have implications for parenting interventions designed for battered women and their children."--JOURNAL ABSTRACT. Record #2048 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J135v05n01_01 ER -
