本二次数据分析的目的是探讨儿童虐待与儿童外化行为（如违反规则行为和攻击行为）之间的联系中，内化行为的中介作用。采用纵向比较组设计和300名青少年（56%）的样本，探讨了虐待与内化和外化行为之间的关系。结构方程模型揭示了受虐待青少年初始内化症状对外化行为的纵向残余效应的中介效应。实践和政策策略应包括早期识别、全面评估和治疗儿童虐待，包括情感、心理和行为问题。全面的社会工作回应可能有助于减少青少年不良行为结果的风险，这些不良行为结果使他们面临青少年犯罪和少年司法介入的风险。
The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to explore the mediating influence of internalizing behavior on the link between child maltreatment and externalizing behavior (for example, rule-breaking behavior and aggressive behavior) among children. Using a longitudinal comparison group design and a sample of 300 youths (56 percent maltreated), the relationship among maltreatment and internalizing and externalizing behavior was explored. Structural equation modeling revealed a mediating effect in which initial internalizing symptoms had a longitudinal residual effect on externalizing behavior among maltreated youths. Practice and policy strategies should include early identification, comprehensive assessment, and treatment for child maltreatment that include emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. A comprehensive social work response may serve to reduce the risk of adverse behavioral outcomes among youths that place them at risk of juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice involvement.
