Abstract
The relationship of child abuse to subsequent adult psychological dysfunction has been established in a variety of studies (Briere & Runtz, 1990; Emery, 1989; Stein, Goldin & Siegel, Buram, & Sorenson, 1988; Wind & Silvern, 1992). Recently, the confounding influence of other aspects of the childrearing context have been raised as possible buffers or exacerbating factors to the effects of child abuse (Wind & Silvern, 1992). The Family Relations Research Project (Dass, 1994; Jenkins, 1994) set out to map the perceptions of a nonclinical sample of adults of the quality of the parenting they received, their recall of abuse, and their current marital, friendship, and parenting relationships. Additionally, selected personality traits that have been linked to child abuse were examined as predictors of the quality of the marital relationship and the parenting alliance.
