Resumo
Typologies of IPV and parenting practices in mothers who experienced police-reported IPV remain surprisingly unexplored, in addition to how those typologies are linked with children's
externalizing problems. Using data from 162 Portuguese mother-child dyads with a police or
child protection services referral of IPV, this study aimed to: (a) identify IPV-parenting typologies; (b) test the associations between typologies and children's externalizing problems, and (c)
examine the moderating effect of children's exposure to other forms of family violence in those
associations. Using a person-centered approach, two IPV-parenting typologies were found: a
spillover typology, with high levels of physical, psychological, and sexual violence and high
levels of harsh and inconsistent parenting practices; and a compartmentalized typology, with
high levels of physical, psychological, and sexual violence and lower ineffective parenting
practices. Results also showed that externalizing symptoms (reported by mothers and teachers)
were significantly lower in children of mothers in the compartmentalized typology compared to
those in the spillover typology. Children's direct exposure to other forms of family violence
moderated this association. Findings suggested that children with a high exposure to other forms
of family violence showed the highest levels of externalizing problems when their mothers were
classified into the spillover typology, and they exhibited the lowest levels of externalizing problems when their mothers were classified in the compartmentalized typology
