    Study Notes

    Child Sexual Abuse, Early Family Risk, and Childhood Parentification

    • This research study explored the relationship between childhood parentification, family risk (parental psychopathology, parental illness, and domestic violence), child sexual abuse (CSA), and psychosocial adjustment in 499 college women.

    • The study used structural equation modeling to analyze the direct, indirect, and mediating pathways between CSA, family risk, and parentification, and their impact on psychosocial maladjustment.

    • The findings indicate that both CSA and family risk independently predicted higher levels of maladjustment.

    • The study discovered that only family risk directly and positively predicted childhood parentification.

    • Contrary to expectations, parentification was linked to lower levels of maladjustment.

    • The study found that parentification did not mediate the relationship between early family risk and maladjustment.

    • This research suggests that family risk factors contribute to the development of parentification.

    • The study also found that parentification is not necessarily associated with poorer psychosocial outcomes.

    Future Research Directions

    • The study recommends further research to investigate the effects of parentification on other aspects of functioning, including the impact of individual, familial, and cultural variables (e.g., age, gender, duration, perceived fairness, ethnicity, and family support) on the long-term impact of parentification on adjustment.
