Aggression, emotional maladjustment, and empathy in the abused child.

Abstract: Nineteen abused children between 5 and 10 years of age were compared to 19 nonabused children on measures of aggression, emotional maladjustment, and empathy. The abused children and the controls were equated in terms of age, sex, socioeconomic states, developmental age, IQ, language, and race. The abused children were found to be significantly different from the controls on the measures of empathy and emotional maladjustment. They did not differ on the aggression measures. Possible explanations of these findi… Show more

“…In addition, they have more internalizing behavior problems (e.g., Kaufman & Cicchetti, 1989;Reid et al, 1987;Salzinger, Kaplan, Pelcovitz, Samit, & Krieger, 1984;Salzinger et al, 1991). These findings, coupled with evidence for problems in social cognition (Barahal, Waterman, & Martin, 1981;Dean, Malik, Richards, & Stringer, 1986;Dodge et al, 1990;Smetana, Kelly, & Twentyman, 1984;Straker & Jacobson, 1981), suggest that abused children's behavior should appear more disturbed than that of their nonabused peers in a variety of settings i.e., that their behavior problems are, to a significant extent, pervasive.…”

“…En accord avec des résultats d 'études antérieures (N. D. Feshbach et Feshbach, 1969;Miller et Eisenberg, 1988), la présente étude fait ressortir des liens directs significatifs entre l'empathie et les comportements prosociaux évalués par l'enfant. L'empathie n'est toutefois pas reliée directement au sentiment de rejet maternel perçu par l'enfant, ce qui contredit le lien négatif entre la maltraitance et l'empathie des individus établi par des études antérieures (Kim et Rohner, 2003;Straker et Jacobson, 1981). En effet, Kim et Rohner (2003) avaient précisément rapporté que le souvenir d'avoir subi plus de rejet parental durant l'enfance était lié à des déficits de l'empathie chez les adultes en comparaison avec des adultes ayant subi moins de rejet parental.…”

“…Respecto a las consecuencias que el maltrato puede provocar sobre la cognición infantil, los estudios coinciden en indicar que los niños maltratados tienen dificultades para etiquetar sentimientos, percibir intenciones en los demás y comprender roles sociales complejos (Straker y Jacobson, 1981). Además, se ha observado que obtienen peores resultados en el ámbito académico y presentan mayores problemas en esta área (Cantón y Cortés, 1997;Cicchetti y Toth, 2005;Shonk y Cicchetti, 2001;Stone, 2007) y que presentan dificultades de interacción social (Cerezo y Frías, 1994;Hofman-Plotkin y Twentyman, 1984;Klimes-Dougan y Kistner, 1990;Main y George, 1985).…”
