本研究探讨了虐待的严重程度，频率，慢性和虐待的亚型及其与儿童结局的关系等方面的影响。参加夏令营项目的5至11岁儿童的社交能力、行为问题以及同伴对合作、破坏和攻击性的评分进行了评估。235名参与者都来自低社会经济地位的家庭; 145名儿童来自有虐待儿童记录的家庭，而90名儿童没有虐待记录。研究发现，虐待的严重程度，儿童保护服务报告的频率，以及严重程度和频率之间的相互作用是儿童功能的重要预测因素。此外，在家庭中虐待的慢性化显着预测同伴的侵略评级。亚型差异也出现了，性虐待组的儿童比其他虐待儿童更有社会能力，身体虐待组的儿童比非虐待儿童有更多的行为问题。多个亚型的虐待共存的回归分析表明，身体忽视，身体虐待和性虐待作出了显着的独特贡献，在预测儿童的结果。探讨虐待多个层面的优势，这些方面的发展更好的操作定义的必要性，以及社会政策的影响的调查结果进行了讨论。
This investigation examined the impact of dimensions within maltreatment such as the severity, frequency, chronicity, and subtypes of maltreatment and their relationship with child outcome. Children between the ages of 5 and 11 who participated in a summer camp program were assessed on their social competence, behavior problems, and peers ratings of cooperation, disruption, and initiation of aggression. The 235 participants were all from low-socioeconomic status families; 145 children were from families with documented histories of child maltreatment, whereas 90 of the children had no record of maltreatment. The study found that severity of the maltreatment, the frequency of Child Protective Services reports, and the interaction between severity and frequency were significant predictors of children's functioning. Additionally, the chronicity of the maltreatment in the family significantly predicted peer ratings of aggression. Subtype differences emerged as well, with children in the sexual abuse group being more socially competent than other maltreated children, and children in the physical abuse group having more behavior problems than nonmaltreated children. Regression analyses with cooccurrence of multiple subtypes of maltreatment indicated that physical neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse made significant unique contributions in predicting child outcomes. The advantages of exploring multiple dimensions within maltreatment, the necessity of developing better operational definitions of these dimensions, and social policy implications of the findings are discussed.
