Expanding our understanding of intergenerational exposure to adversity

Abstract

The present study examined the intergenerational continuity of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) for parents and their adolescent offspring. Data were from a longitudinal study of the effects of maltreatment on adolescent development. Only biological parents (n = 185) and one adolescent per parent (n = 164) were included in the analytic sample. Self-reported retrospective data on childhood adversities was obtained at the 3rd wave for parents and the 4th wave for adolescents (Mage = 18.16). For siblings in the study, one was randomly chosen to be included. Latent class analysis was used to examine 1–4 class solutions for parents and adolescents separately and crosstabs were used to show the concordance between assignment to similar classes for the parent and child. Results indicated 2 class solutions for both the parent and child: a high ACEs class characterized by witnessing intimate partner violence and all maltreatment types and a low ACES class characterized by no adversities. Concordance was highest for both parent and child being assigned to the low ACEs class (52% of the dyads). There were 9% of the dyads who were concordant for being assigned to the high ACEs class, indicating less continuity of adversity than expected. Overall the findings show some intergenerational continuity of adversity, but further work should be done to characterize the different patterns of concordance/discordance between parent and child ACEs.
