目的：为了研究之间的关系的回顾性报告的体罚/虐待和利率的调整困难，在18岁的出生队列的新西兰subjects.Method：数据收集了超过18年的纵向研究的过程中的出生队列的1,265新西兰出生的孩子。在18岁时，获得了遭受体罚/虐待的回顾性报告。在这个时候，队列还评估措施的心理社会调整，包括青少年犯罪，药物滥用行为，和精神disorder.Results：青少年报告暴露于苛刻或虐待的治疗在童年时期的青少年犯罪，药物滥用和心理健康问题的发病率升高。然而，随后使用逻辑回归方法进行的分析表明，这一群体所表现出的高风险在很大程度上是由与儿童期惩罚/虐待模式相关的社会和背景因素所解释的。然而，即使在控制混杂因素后，那些报告童年时期遭受过虐待或虐待的人也有更高的暴力犯罪、自杀企图、成为暴力受害者和酗酒的风险。结论：本研究得出三个主要结论：（1）那些在童年时期遭受过虐待或虐待的人是青少年犯罪、药物滥用和心理健康问题的高危人群;（2）这种高风险在很大程度上来自于苛刻或虐待发生的社会背景：（3）尽管如此，暴露于虐待似乎增加了参与暴力行为和酗酒的风险。(C)1997年爱思唯尔科学有限公司
Objective: To study the relationships between retrospective reports of physical punishment/maltreatment and rates of adjustment difficulties at age 18 in a birth cohort of New Zealand subjects.Method: Data were gathered over the course of an 18 year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 1,265 New Zealand born children. At age 18 retrospective reports of exposure to physical punishment/maltreatment were obtained. At this time the cohort was also assessed on measures of psychosocial adjustment including juvenile offending, substance abuse behaviors, and psychiatric disorder.Results: Young people reporting exposure to harsh or abusive treatment during childhood had elevated rates of juvenile offending, substance abuse, and mental health problems. However, subsequent analysis using logistic regression methods showed that much of the elevated risk shown by this group was explained by social and contextual factors that were associated with patterns of childhood punishment/maltreatment. Nonetheless, even after control for confounding factors those reporting harsh or abusive childhood experiences were at increased risks of violent offending, suicide attempts, being a victim of violence, and alcohol abuse,Conclusion: This study leads to three major conclusions: (1) Those exposed to harsh or abusive treatment during childhood are an at-risk population for juvenile offending, substance abuse, and mental health problems; (2) Much of this elevated risk arises from the social context within which harsh or abusive treatment occurs: (3) Nonetheless, exposure to abuse appears to increase risks of involvement in violent behavior and alcohol abuse.
