abstract="Investigated the relationships among social support, stress, child maltreatment, and child aggressiveness in alcoholic families. Ss were 62 fathers, 65 mothers, and 65 children (aged 3-5 yrs). Three process models based on prior research were proposed and tested against one another using path analysis. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that for fathers, social support and stress were each independent direct predictors of child maltreatment. For mothers, social support was an indirect predictor of child maltreatment, and it buffered (moderated) the effect of stress on child maltreatment. For both fathers and mothers, lifetime alcohol problems predicted extent of child maltreatment. The data also indicate that child maltreatment influenced child aggressiveness.
