目的：本研究的目的是双重的。首先，我们确定是否性虐待的青春期男孩或女孩更有可能在临床范围内的内化行为评分。其次，在确定男孩比女孩更有可能有一个内在的行为问题，我们测试了这种关系是否会持续后，其他几个变量被占：性虐待的特点，暴露于家庭暴力，自我效能，和他们的同伴和照顾者relationships.Methods：一个国家的概率样本的儿童虐待儿童保护服务调查的儿童。样本包括127名女孩和31名男孩，年龄11- 14岁。结果：在控制了几个变量后，男孩比女孩更容易出现临床范围内的内化行为问题。暴露于家庭暴力，更严重的性虐待，性虐待的非相对的，和照顾者提供的自主权的支持量也增加了可能性internalizing problem.Conclusions：在青春期早期，性虐待的男孩可能比性虐待的女孩更有可能有一个临床上显着的内化行为问题。研究人员需要继续调查性虐待的男孩是否和女孩一样或比女孩更有可能在青春期后期出现内化行为问题。实践启示：内化症状需要仔细筛查和评估，性虐待的男孩和女孩经历了更多的侵入性性虐待，受到非亲属的性虐待，遭受家庭暴力，从照顾者那里获得较低自主性支持的人。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Objective: The purpose of this study was twofold. First, we determined whether sexually abused adolescent boys or girls were more likely to have internalizing behavior scores in the clinical range. Second, after determining boys were more likely than girls to have an internalizing behavior problem, we tested whether this relationship would persist after several other variables were accounted for: characteristics of the sexual abuse, exposure to domestic violence, self-efficacy, and their peer and caregiver relationships.Methods: A national probability sample of children investigated by child protective services for child maltreatment was used. The sample consisted of 127 girls and 31 boys, ages 11-14.Results: Sexually abused boys were more likely than girls to have an internalizing behavior problem in the clinical range even after controlling for several variables. Exposure to domestic violence, more severe sexual abuse, sexual abuse by a non-relative, and the amount of autonomy support provided by caregivers also increased the likelihood internalizing problem.Conclusions: During early adolescence, sexually abused boys may be more likely than sexually abused girls to have a clinically significant internalizing behavior problem. Researchers need to continue to investigate whether sexually abused boys are as likely as girls or more likely than girls to have an internalizing behavior problem in later adolescence.Practice implications: Internalizing symptoms warrant careful screening and assessment with sexually abused boys and girls who experience more intrusive sexual abuse, who are sexually abused by a non-relative, who are exposed to domestic violence, and who receive lower autonomy support from their caregivers.
