目的：这项研究有两个主要目的：第一，研究各种形式虐待儿童的性质和同时发生的情况（性，身体，情感，和目击暴力）报告的拉丁美洲大学生，第二，探讨共存的虐待类型和文化适应状态作为可能的贡献者长期调整困难。方法：参与者是112名拉丁裔本科生，按儿童虐待类型的数量（0，1，2或更多）和文化适应水平（1至5）进行分类。同时发生的虐待形式，与文化适应状态，可能产生的影响进行了调查，关于参与者的报告创伤病理学。使用自我报告measures.Results收集数据：近三分之十的参与者（29%）经历了一种以上的儿童虐待，正如预期的那样，这些人报告更大的创伤性精神病比那些报告任何一种类型的虐待或没有虐待。那些报告多种类型的人也比经历单一类型的受访者遭受更严重的虐待。文化适应水平既不直接相关的创伤症状，也没有缓和受害者之间的虐待的持久相关性。有趣的是，那些谁经历了单一形式的虐待报告没有更多的创伤症状比参与者谁报告没有虐待history.Conclusion：本次调查文件在很大程度上重叠各种形式的自我报告的童年虐待在拉丁美洲大学人口。研究结果强调，在推断对以后功能的潜在影响时，需要考虑多种形式的虐待以及严重程度。(C)2003爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Objectives: This study had two primary objectives: First, to examine the nature and co-occurrence of various forms of child maltreatment (sexual, physical, emotional, and witnessing violence) reported by Latina college students, and second, to explore coexisting maltreatment types and acculturation status as possible contributors to long-term adjustment difficulties.Method: Participants were 112 Latina undergraduate students categorized by the number of childhood maltreatment types experienced (0, 1, or 2 or more) and acculturation level (1 to 5). The possible effects of co-occurring forms of maltreatment, in conjunction with acculturation status, were investigated with respect to participants' reported trauma symptomatology. Data were collected using self-report measures.Results: Nearly three out of 10 participants (29%) experienced more than one type of child maltreatment and, as expected, these individuals reported greater trauma symptomatology than those reporting either a single type of maltreatment or no maltreatment at all. Those who reported multiple types also endured more severe maltreatment than did respondents who experienced a single type. Acculturation level was neither directly related to trauma symptoms nor did it moderate the lasting correlates of maltreatment among victims. Interestingly, those who experienced a single form of maltreatment reported no more trauma symptoms than did participants who reported no maltreatment history at all.Conclusion: This investigation documents a large degree of overlap among various forms of self-reported childhood maltreatment within a Latina college population. The results underscore the need to consider multiple forms of maltreatment, as well as severity, when making inferences regarding potential effects on later functioning.
