研究一直表明，虐待儿童和目睹暴力行为导致社会功能模式中断，但这些途径背后的机制仍不清楚。这项横断面研究评估了愤怒和/或注意力问题是否介导了虐待、忽视和目睹暴力与同伴问题和攻击性行为之间的联系。参与者包括470名儿童（年龄8-11岁; 52.7%男孩; 75.3%种族/少数民族）生活在家庭外护理。虐待暴露的亚型和严重程度使用儿童保护服务的摄入量报告和法庭记录进行编码。目击的暴力和愤怒进行了评估，使用儿童报告，和照顾者提供的注意力问题和社会功能的评级。间接影响进行了测试，使用一系列的结构方程路径分析模型。结果表明，愤怒完全介导的链接，从目睹暴力的同伴问题和攻击性行为。此外，注意力问题完全介导的联系，从身体虐待和身体忽视的同伴问题和攻击性行为。这些研究结果强调，需要采取干预措施，以针对愤怒调节和注意力控制儿童在家庭外的照顾，以减轻他们的社会适应不良的风险。
Research has consistently shown that child maltreatment and witnessed violence lead to disrupted patterns of social functioning, yet the mechanisms underlying these pathways remain unclear. This cross-sectional study evaluated whether anger and/or attention problems mediated the links from abuse, neglect, and witnessed violence to peer problems and aggressive behavior. Participants included 470 children (ages 8–11; 52.7% boys; 75.3% racial/ethnic minority) living in out-of-home care. Subtype and severity of maltreatment exposure were coded using Child Protection Services’ intake reports and court records. Witnessed violence and anger were assessed using child-reports, and caregivers provided ratings of attention problems and social functioning. Indirect effects were tested using a series of structural equation path analysis models. Results indicated that anger fully mediated the links from witnessed violence to both peer problems and aggressive behavior. Further, attention problems fully mediated the links from physical abuse and physical neglect to both peer problems and aggressive behavior. These findings highlight the need for interventions to target anger regulation and attentional control among children in out-of-home care in order to mitigate their risk for social maladjustment.
