Previous research regarding the initial effects of sexual abuse on children has varied in terms of methodologies, measurement instruments, and reported findings. Recent studies, however, suggest that projective techniques may be useful in resolving some of these inconsistencies. This study utilized the Hand Test to investigate the initial effects of sexual abuse on female children. Authenticated cases of sexually abused children were compared to a matched sample of presumably nonabused children. Significant differences on six variables were obtained between the groups but, more important, Hand Test patterns emerged which appeared to distinguish among those victims who: (a) were severely traumatized by the abuse, (b) displayed neurotic tendencies, and (c) did not seem to have suffered measurable detrimental effects. It was suggested that these findings may help reconcile conflicting views that have appeared in the literature.
以往关于性虐待对儿童的初始影响的研究，在方法、测量工具和报告结果方面存在差异。然而，最近的研究表明，投射技术可能有助于解决其中一些不一致之处。本研究利用手部测试来调查性虐待对女童的初始影响。将经证实的性虐待儿童案例与一个假定未受虐待儿童的匹配样本进行比较。两组在六个变量上获得了显著差异，但更重要的是，出现了手部测试模式，这些模式似乎能够区分出以下几类受害者：(a) 因虐待而受到严重创伤的；(b) 表现出神经质倾向的；(c) 似乎未遭受可测量的有害影响的。有人认为，这些发现可能有助于调和文献中出现的相互矛盾的观点。
