Abstract

Child abuse comes in various forms and typically result in serious consequences such as physiological reactivity and developing offender behaviors. This research paper focuses on three major types of child abuse or childhood trauma: divorce, negligence, and lack of parental approval. Multiple studies have shown that children who experienced parental divorce are more likely to have reduced commitment in a relationship and have fewer romantic relationships in general. Secondly, a study on parental neglect concludes that those who were neglected by their parents are more likely to develop fear for intimate relationships and depressive symptoms. Lastly, lack of parental approval leads to individuals experiencing distress in their relationships. Generally, the less perceived approval from parents, the more distress observed by the individuals. It is observed that many negative behaviors result from child abuse and likely lead to abuse cycles that continue to harm generations of people. Overall, it is recommended that more research be conducted on how to break the abuse cycle.
