Literature Review :
1) The Impacts of Verbal Violence by Family Members on Children’s Social Emotional Aspects.
The research is aimed to know the impact of verbal violence carried by members of the family on children aged around 2-4 years. When members of the family often yell, children also perform the same things & even dare to yell at other people. They will repeat the things which they have learnt from the surroundings. So, the level of emotional social maternity of family members is very influential on the development of emotional social aspects of children. With the approach to study the case it was found that people engage in verbal abuse for a variety of reasons. Family history, past experiences, personality & mental illness are a few factors that can play a role. The goal of the abuser is to control you by making you feel bad about who you are. (Hendra & etal, 2019)
2) The role of parental education on verbal abuse and its impact on the mental health of young adults.
Verbal abuse is one of the domestic violence that is still underestimated because it has no direct physical effect; it has a tremendous impact on young adults’ mental health. This study wanted to confirm the negative effect of verbal abuse on mental health. In addition, parental education is also predicted to play a role in young adults’ mental health. Verbal abuse from parents as a youngster will impact one’s mental health as a young adult. Future research is expected to look at who commits verbal abuse in more detail and increase the sample size to evaluate the effect of maternal education. (Fairuzza & etal, 2023)
