This study investigated the effects of physical abuse in childhood on health problems in adulthood and assessed gender differences in these associations.
We used data from 8000 men and 8000 women who were interviewed in the National Violence Against Women Survey. We used multivariate logistic regression to test for main and interactive effects and conducted post hoc probing of significant moderational effects.
Men were more likely than women to have experienced physical abuse during childhood. Whereas abuse had negative consequences for both boys and girls, it was generally more detrimental for girls.
Findings suggest the need to consider gender differences and long-term adverse health consequences in the development of intervention strategies to address physical abuse in childhood.
本研究调查了童年期身体虐待对成年期健康问题的影响,并评估了这些关联中的性别差异。
我们使用了来自《全国妇女遭受暴力调查》中接受访谈的8000名男性和8000名女性的数据。我们使用多元逻辑回归来检验主要效应和交互效应,并对显著的调节效应进行事后探究。
男性比女性在童年期更有可能经历身体虐待。虽然虐待对男孩和女孩都有负面后果,但总体上对女孩的危害更大。
研究结果表明,在制定干预策略以解决童年期身体虐待问题时,需要考虑性别差异和长期不良健康后果。
