The Human Ecology of Child Maltreatment: A Conceptual Model for Research
Abstract
This paper seeks to place the phenomenon of child maltreatment in the perspective qf family development. While it is concerned with the problem of neglect, it addresses child abuse most directly. The paper focuses on necessary and sufficient conditions and the research implications of an ecological perspective. Maltreatment as a consequence qf stressful role transition is the major theme explored in the paper. The role of cultural support for the use of physical force against children, and the inadequacy and inadequate use of family support systems are two factors identified as necessary conditions for child maltreatment. The paper thus attempts to explicate a model of child maltreatment as a problem of family asynchrony-i.e., as a mismatch of parent to child and of family to neighborhood and community. The problem of child maltreatment is thus best understood as an issue in the study of the ecology qf family life, the development of the caregiver role and the provision of effective feedback for parents.

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.
