stress and parenting competence among Latino men who batter. Journal
of Interpersonal Violence, 16(11), 1130-1157.
Language: English
This study examined predictors of parenting stress and competence within
a sample of 43 immigrant Latino couples, in which some of the men had
perpetrated abuse against their partners. Results indicated that parenting
stress and competence for fathers and mothers were not uniform. Father’s
parenting stress was not related to the predictor variables; whereas
mother’s parenting stress was related only to physical abuse.
Father’s parenting competence was related to both physical and
psychological abuse whereas mother’s parenting competence was
not related to the predictor variables. When comparing Latino fathers
and Latina mothers, there were differences in parenting stress, with
fathers experiencing less, but no differences in parenting competence.
