本文探讨了心理健康的儿童谁目睹了他们的社会环境中的暴力和/或已被身体虐待的结果。参与者（n = 167）来自一项关于儿童虐待的纵向研究。结果-包括抑郁，愤怒和焦虑-由儿童行为检查表和儿童创伤症状检查表测量。作者使用调整后的多变量分析来检验相关性的统计学意义。大多数儿童是女性（57%）和非白人（64%）。三分之一的人受到身体伤害; 46%的人目睹了中度至高度的暴力行为。结果证实，儿童受到他们在家中和社区目睹的受害和暴力的负面影响。受害是一个显着的预测儿童的攻击性和抑郁症，目睹暴力被发现是一个显着的预测侵略，抑郁，愤怒和焦虑。将讨论所涉问题。
This article examines mental health outcomes of children who have witnessed violence in their social environment and/or have been physically abused. Participants (n = 167) come from a longitudinal study on child maltreatment. Outcomes-including depression, anger, and anxiety--are measured by the Child Behavior Checklist and the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children. The authors used adjusted multivariate analyses to test the statistical significance of associations. The majority of children were female (57%) and non-White (64%). One third had been physically victimized; 46% had witnessed moderate-high levels of violence. Results confirm that children are negatively affected by victimization and violence they witness in their homes and neighborhoods. Victimization was a significant predictor of child aggression and depression; witnessed violence was found to be a significant predictor of aggression, depression, anger, and anxiety. Implications will be discussed.
