儿童虐待在多大程度上与其他家庭逆境相互作用，从而加剧成人社会经济状况不佳的风险，目前尚不确定。此外，儿童时期的住宿、学校和照顾者的转变对成年后的结果的影响还没有得到很好的理解。本研究以有或无童年虐待史的个体为研究对象，探讨家庭逆境与成人收入问题、教育和失业之间的关系。积极的关系质量在缓冲这些风险关系中的潜在保护作用也被测试。数据来自Lehigh纵向研究（n= 457），研究对象在学龄前、小学、青少年和成年年龄进行评估。多群体路径分析检验了童年家庭逆境的关系；住宿、学校和照顾者的过渡；以及每个群体的成人社会经济结果。照顾者关系质量作为调节因素，性别作为协变量。家庭逆境与教育水平呈负相关，与收入问题呈正相关。对于两组，居住转换与教育水平负相关，照顾者转换与失业问题正相关。只有未受虐待儿童的关系质量与受教育程度呈正相关。对于没有遭受虐待的儿童，减少接触家庭逆境是预防的一个重要目标。减少所有儿童遭受虐待的机会仍然是一项重要的公共卫生优先事项。结果强调需要制定促进稳定关系和环境的方案和政策。
The degree to which child maltreatment interacts with other household adversities to exacerbate risk for poor adult socioeconomic outcomes is uncertain. Moreover, the effects of residential, school, and caregiver transitions during childhood on adult outcomes are not well understood. This study examined the relation between household adversity and transitions in childhood with adult income problems, education, and unemployment in individuals with or without a childhood maltreatment history. The potential protective role of positive relationship quality in buffering these risk relationships was also tested. Data were from the Lehigh Longitudinal Study (n= 457), where subjects were assessed at preschool, elementary, adolescent, and adult ages. Multiple group path analysis tested the relationships between childhood household adversity; residential, school, and caregiver transitions; and adult socioeconomic outcomes for each group. Caregiver relationship quality was included as a moderator, and gender as a covariate. Household adversity was negatively associated with education level and positively associated with income problems for non-maltreated children only. For both groups, residential transitions was negatively associated with education level and caregiver transitions was positively associated with unemployment problems. Relationship quality was positively associated with education level only for non-maltreated children. For children who did not experience maltreatment, reducing exposure to household adversity is an important goal for prevention. Reducing exposure to child maltreatment for all children remains an important public health priority. Results underscore the need for programs and policies that promote stable relationships and environments.
