Impact of Parental Abuse during Childhood on the Formation of Primary and Secondary Psychopathy

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between psychopathy and parental abuse during early childhood. A total of 339 college students were evaluated to examine their psychopathic tendencies and were asked to report their childhood parental abuse experience. Partial correlation analyses showed a significant positive correlation between secondary psychopathy and physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglect. However, there was a lack of significant correlation between childhood parental abuse and primary psychopathy. Regression analysis demonstrated that factors such as emotional abuse and neglect were strong predictors of secondary psychopathy. This study suggests that childhood parental abuse is associated with secondary psychopathy, whereas such association is not observed with primary psychopathy.

The social cognitive development of abused children.

Previous research on the impact of parental abuse on child development has typically been skewed to the more seriously injured or most socially disadvantaged families. The few studies attending to psychological consequences of abuse have further been limited by a failure to control for potentially confounding intellectual or demographic factors and have been too general in approach to provide effective guidelines for differential diagnosis, treatment, or theory building. The present study compared the social cognitive styles of abused children with a carefully matched control sample and found differences in perceived locus of control of social events and social role comprehensions. Similar trends emerged in perspective-taking skills and social sensitivity. These alternative social cognitions could not be attributed to IQ or class disparities between the groups. The implications of these results for treatment and as a theoretical model for understanding the intergenerational nature of abuse are discussed.
