TLDR
In this article, the extent of overlap and predictive strength of multiple forms of child maltreatment and stressors internal and external to the family was examined, and it was found that a strong association was found between physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence.
Abstract
Analyses were conducted to examine the extent of overlap and predictive strength of multiple forms of child maltreatment and stressors internal and external to the family. Findings suggest a strong association between child maltreatment (physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence) and stressors (family conflict, personal problems of parents, and external constraints on the family). After controlling for stressors, family socioeconomic status, and child gender, a general construct of child maltreatment was predictive of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in adolescents. Specific effects of child physical and sexual abuse were revealed in these longitudinal structural equation model tests.

Burden and consequences of child maltreatment in high-income countries

TL;DR: For example, this article found that exposure to multiple types and repeated episodes of maltreatment is associated with increased risks of severe maltreatment and psychological consequences, which has longlasting effects on mental health, drug and alcohol misuse (especially in girls), risky sexual behaviour, obesity, and criminal behaviour.

Intersection of Child Abuse and Children's Exposure to Domestic Violence:

TL;DR: Evidence from the studies reviewed suggests considerable overlap, compounding effects, and possible gender differences in outcomes of violence exposure, indicating a need to apply a broad conceptualization of risk to the study of family violence and its effects on children.

The Effects of Child Abuse and Exposure to Domestic Violence on Adolescent Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems.

TL;DR: Results show that child abuse, domestic violence, and both in combination increase a child’s risk for internalizing and externalizing outcomes in adolescence, and the effects of exposure for boys and girls are statistically comparable.

Intergenerational transmission of self-regulation: A multidisciplinary review and integrative conceptual framework.

TL;DR: A framework that brings together prenatal, social/contextual, and neurobiological mechanisms to explain the intergenerational transmission of self-regulation is introduced, a framework that incorporates potential transactional processes between generations.

Longitudinal Study on the Effects of Child Abuse and Children’s Exposure to Domestic Violence, Parent-Child Attachments, and Antisocial Behavior in Adolescence

TL;DR: Preventing child abuse and children’s exposure to domestic violence could lessen the risk of antisocial behavior during adolescence, as could strengthening parent—child attachments in adolescence, but strengthening attachments between parents and children after exposure may not be sufficient to counter the negative impact of earlier violence trauma.

Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit

TL;DR: In this paper, two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered, error of approximation and error of fit, where the first involves the fit of the model, and the second involves the model's shape.
