This article employs the major foci of a developmental-ecological model to evaluate the past decade of research on children exposed to family violence. The foci of this framework were operationalized into a coding system that was then applied to all empirical studies published in this area since 1987. This coding system allowed for inspection of the current state of the knowledge base from this perspective and the ability to determine the progress that has been made in this research area. A total of 21 quantitative studies and 1 qualitative study were reviewed. Despite progress having been made over the past 10 years, foundational issues related to definitions of the independent variable, substantiation of exposure, developmental sensitivity, and methodology remain. The authors critique the extant literature and present recommendations for future research studies.

Key Words: family violence • child development • child psychopathology • research
