Anger Control in Parents: Implications for Reducing the Use of Verbal and Physical Violence with their Children
9/21/2023 - 9/21/20232:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Event Description
Workshop Description: Parents were asked to keep track of when they became angry with their children and to note when their anger escalated to their use of verbal and physical forms of punishment. Cluster analysis indicated that there were eight categories of perceived provocations that can be summarized with the mnemonic II CE HOPE. This presentation will provide examples of each of these triggers and consider the implications for parent training. Repetitive non-compliance and the attribution of intentionality ("did it on purpose") were key features contributing to the use of hitting behaviors.
