Abstract

Empirical evidence has accumulated documenting an association between childhood physical abuse and aggressive behavior. Relatively fewer studies have explored possible mediating mechanisms that may explain this association. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether caregiver- and youth-reported attention problems mediate the association between physical abuse severity and aggressive behavior. A sample of 240 maltreated early adolescents (ages 9-11) and their caregivers were interviewed within 14 months of being removed from the home. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that caregiver- and youth-reported attention problems were partial mediators of the association between physical abuse severity and aggressive behavior. These associations were significant even after controlling for children's intellectual functioning, sex, age, and severity of other maltreatment types. Possible explanations for the detrimental impact of physical abuse on behavior are discussed, along with the implications of the current study's results for interventions aimed at reducing early adolescent aggressive behavior.

注意问题在受虐待早期青少年身体虐待严重程度与攻击行为之间的中介作用。
经验证据已经积累起来,证明儿童时期的身体虐待和攻击行为之间存在关联。相对较少的研究探索了可能解释这种关联的中介机制。当前研究的目的是检验照料者和青少年报告的注意力问题是否介导了身体虐待严重程度和攻击行为之间的联系。在离开家后的14个月内,对240名受虐待的早期青少年(9-11岁)及其照顾者进行了访谈。多元回归分析结果表明,照顾者和青少年报告的注意力问题是身体虐待严重程度与攻击行为之间关联的部分中介。即使在控制了儿童的智力功能、性别、年龄和其他虐待类型的严重程度之后,这些关联也是显著的。讨论了身体虐待对行为的有害影响的可能解释,以及当前研究结果对旨在减少早期青少年攻击行为的干预的影响。
