The hostile attributional tendencies of maltreated children in elementary school across key relationship figures (i.e., parents, teachers, and peers), the relation between children's hostile attributional tendencies and the frequency and severity of maltreatment, and the role of children's hostile attributions of their parents in mediating the relation between maltreatment and children's hostile attributions of unfamiliar peers were examined. The sample consisted of 44 maltreated and 56 nonmaltreated children (females = 51) of mixed ethnicity. Subjects were administered a 20-item measure of attributional processes. The results indicated that relative to nonmaltreated children, physically abused boys were more likely to attribute hostile intentions to a variety of relationship figures, including their parents, an unfamiliar teacher, their best friend, and unfamiliar peers. A positive relation was also found between the frequency of physical abuse and hostile attributional tendencies among males. Finally, support was found for the role of children's hostile attributions of their mothers in mediating the relation between physical abuse and children's hostile attributions of unfamiliar peers. The results support a link between physical abuse and hostile attributional tendencies in children in early elementary school.
研究了小学受虐待儿童对关键关系人物（即父母、教师和同伴）的敌意归因倾向、儿童敌意归因倾向与虐待频率和严重程度之间的关系，以及儿童对父母的敌意归因在调节虐待与儿童对陌生同伴的敌意归因之间关系中的作用。样本包括44名受虐待儿童和56名非受虐待儿童（女性 = 51名），种族混合。对受试者进行了一项包含20个条目的归因过程测量。结果表明，相对于非受虐待儿童，身体受虐待的男孩更有可能将敌意意图归因于各种关系人物，包括他们的父母、一名陌生教师、他们最好的朋友和陌生同伴。在男性中，身体虐待频率与敌意归因倾向之间也发现了正相关关系。最后，研究发现支持儿童对母亲的敌意归因在调节身体虐待与儿童对陌生同伴的敌意归因之间关系中的作用。研究结果支持了小学早期身体虐待与儿童敌意归因倾向之间的联系。
