寄养儿童是一个显着的异质性群体，他们的适应，和中断的情绪理解的过程中，可能会导致他们的差异结果之一。先前的研究发现，受虐待儿童和被忽视儿童在情绪识别方面的影响不同。然而，很少有研究分析了更复杂的形式的情感理解虐待儿童，同时考虑不同的逆境维度。本研究分析了寄养中受虐待儿童样本中威胁和剥夺暴露与情绪理解不同方面之间的关联。样本包括51名4 ~ 9岁的西班牙非亲属寄养儿童（M= 7.07，SD = 1.63）。我们使用情绪理解测试来测量情绪理解和虐待报告，以测量暴露于威胁和剥夺。在控制了年龄、词汇量和剥夺因素后，威胁暴露可以增强外部情绪的理解，特别是理解基于欲望的情绪。抑郁症预测更差的外部情绪理解。我们的研究结果加强了累积风险模型的局限性，以了解寄养儿童的发展成果和价值，分别评估逆境的尺寸时，可能的，鉴于变量关系的威胁和剥夺暴露与社会认知发展。
Children in foster care are a remarkably heterogeneous group regarding their adaptation, and disrupted emotion understanding is one of the processes that may lead to differential outcomes in them. Previous research has found different effects for abused and for neglected children in emotion recognition. However, very few studies have analysed more complex forms of emotion understanding in maltreated children while considering different adversity dimensions. The present study analysed associations between threat and deprivation exposure and different facets of emotion understanding in a sample of maltreated children in foster care. The sample comprised 51 children from 4 to 9 years old (M= 7.07,SD= 1.63) in nonkin foster care in Spain. We used the Test of Emotional Comprehension to measure emotion understanding and maltreatment reports to measure exposure to threat and deprivation. Threat exposure predicted enhanced external emotion understanding after controlling for age, vocabulary, and deprivation, particularly understanding emotions based on desires. Deprivation predicted worse external emotion understanding. Our findings reinforce the limits of cumulative risks models for understanding foster children's developmental outcomes and the value of assessing separately adversity dimensions when possible, given the variable relations of threat and deprivation exposure with social cognitive development.
