PM in childhood has been found to be a predictor of adult symptoms of anxiety and depression, substance use, and substance-related problems. Although a range of abusive and neglectful parenting behaviors can be considered psychological maltreatment, different subtypes of PM are rarely assessed. The available research examining subtypes of PM suggests that children experience distinct, and perhaps predictable, combinations of PM subtypes. Yet, research has not explored how subtypes of PM naturally co-occur or how these subtypes may differentially affect adult psychological functioning. Using latent profile analysis, the present study explored the natural co-occurrence of PM subtypes (i.e., terrorizing, spurning, exploiting/corrupting, isolating, and denying emotional responsiveness) and differences in adult psychological functioning in a community sample of 491 young women. Results indicated the best fit was a three-class model reflecting exposure to low, moderate, and high PM, across PM subtypes. Distinct PM groups were characterized by severity, but not subtype. Results also revealed statistically significant differences between the three PM groups on symptoms of anxiety and depression, substance use, and substance-related problems such that exposure to more severe PM tended to be associated with greater symptom severity. Importantly, PM did not occur in isolation as participants in the moderate and high PM groups reported high rates of child physical and sexual abuse. Research and clinical implications are discussed. 2020-07-02 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1593026142867029 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1593026142867029 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
