Family worries: Assessment of interpersonal anxiety in children from violent and nonviolent families

Graham-Bermann, Sandra A.·1996·Journal of Clinical Child Psychology

Abstract

Assessed children's worries about the behaviors of significant people in the family with a new measure that focused on both the target of the worry and the types of behavior that worry the child. One hundred twenty-one 7- to 12-year-old children in families with and without domestic violence rated, on a 4-point scale ranging from I (not a lot) to 4 (a lot) how much they worried about 20 behaviors concerning five people in the family: mother, father, brother, sister, and self Varimax analyses provided two factors-Vulnerable and Harmful-that indicate worry about the vulnerable and harmful behavior of each family member. The measure has acceptable internal and test-retest reliability, as well as known-groups validity. Children in the domestic violence families were significantly more worried about the vulnerability of their mothers, brothers, and sisters, and they tended to worry more about the harmful behavior of their fathers than did children in the comparison group. Significant associations were found, for the children of battered women, between child adjustment and worry about the harmful behavior of family members.

  • Children exposed to domestic violence report more depressive symptoms, anxiety, and worry than those who have never been exposed.

    “More specif- ically, children exposed to domestic violence report more depressive symptoms, anxiety, and worry than those who have never been exposed to such violence (e.g., Graham-Bermann, 1996; Spaccarelli, Sandler, & Roosa, 1994; Sternberg et al., 1993).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
