This paper examines the impact of emotional maltreatment on the psychosocial functioning of youth placed in out-of-home care as a result of maltreatment. Participants included 243 children participating in a randomized controlled trial of a preventive intervention for preadolescent youth placed in out-of-home care. This study analyzed baseline data collected pre-randomization from interviews with children and their out-of-home caregivers and data from child welfare records. Bivariate and regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between emotional maltreatment and interpersonal functioning, self-perception, mental health, and behavioral problems for the total sample and by gender. Findings suggest that subtypes of emotional maltreatment are associated with different outcomes and that males are more negatively impacted by emotional maltreatment than are females.
本文探讨了情感虐待对因虐待而被安置在家庭外照料机构的青少年心理社会功能的影响。研究对象包括243名儿童，他们参与了一项针对被安置在家庭外照料机构的青春期前青少年的预防性干预随机对照试验。本研究分析了随机分组前从对儿童及其家庭外照料者的访谈中收集的基线数据以及儿童福利记录中的数据。采用双变量和回归分析来探讨情感虐待与整个样本以及按性别划分的人际功能、自我认知、心理健康和行为问题之间的关系。研究结果表明，情感虐待的亚型与不同的结果相关，并且男性比女性受情感虐待的负面影响更大。
