在三项研究中，研究了与儿童期的性虐待、身体虐待、心理虐待、忽视和目睹家庭暴力相关的适应问题。研究1表明，父母报告的5-12岁儿童遭受虐待的经历(N=50)中，虐待类型之间存在显著重叠。父母的性惩罚性、传统性、家庭适应性和家庭亲密度对4个虐待量表和儿童外化行为问题的得分有显著预测作用。虐待程度预示着内化、外化和性行为问题。在研究2中，成年人关于所有5种虐待行为的回顾报告(N=138)之间存在显著重叠。儿童期父母的性惩罚性、传统性、家庭适应性和家庭凝聚力预测虐待水平和当前的精神病理学。虽然儿童虐待得分可以预测精神病理，但童年家庭变量是更好的适应预测因子。研究3表明，儿童虐待得分预测成人适应功能的积极方面(N=95)。
The adjustment problems associated with sexual abuse, physical abuse, psychological maltreatment, neglect, and witnessing family violence during childhood were examined in three studies. Study 1 demonstrated significant overlap between maltreatment types in parent reports (N = 50) of maltreatment experiences of their child aged 5-12 years. Parental sexual punitiveness, traditionality, family adaptability and family cohesion significantly predicted scores on 4 maltreatment scales and children's externalizing behavior problems. Level of maltreatment predicted internalizing, externalizing, and sexual behavior problems. In Study 2, significant overlap was found between adults' retrospective reports (N = 138) of all 5 types of maltreating behaviors. Parental sexual punitiveness, traditionality, family adaptability, and family cohesion during childhood predicted the level of maltreatment and current psychopathology. Although child maltreatment scores predicted psychopathology, childhood family variables were better predictors of adjustment. Study 3 demonstrated that child maltreatment scores predicted positive aspects of adult adaptive functioning (N = 95).
