To investigate the impact of emotional maltreatment on self-esteem among adolescents, and to see if gender makes a difference in this context.
The cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2014, and comprised adolescents in the age range of 14 to 18 years who were selected using purposive sampling from various government and private schools and colleges of Sargodha, Punjab. The questionnaire on seven dimensions of emotional maltreatment at home and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used.
There were 400 subjects; 200(50%) boys and as many girls. The overall mean age was 16.14±1.36 years (range: 14-18 years). Correlation coefficient indicated significant negative relationship between emotional maltreatment and self-esteem (degrading r= -0.33, p<0.01; exploitation r= -0.30, p< 0.01; isolating r=-0.36, p<0.01; ignoring r= -0.32, p<0.01; rejecting r=-0.43, p< 0.01; and terrorizing r= -0.35, p<0.01) among students. Emotional maltreatment strongly predicted negative self-esteem (isolating?= -0.12, p<0.05; and rejecting ?= -0.30, p< 0.001) among adolescents. Findings indicated significant gender differences in degrading component of emotional maltreatment and self-esteem.
Emotional maltreatment strongly predicted negative self-esteem among adolescents. Gender was a significant factor in the domain of degrading.
探讨情感虐待对青少年自尊的影响，并观察在这种情况下性别是否会产生差异。
该横断面研究于2014年1月至4月进行，研究对象为14至18岁的青少年，通过立意抽样从旁遮普省萨戈达的各类政府和私立中小学及学院中选取。使用了关于家庭情感虐待七个维度的问卷和罗森伯格自尊量表。
共有400名受试者，其中200名（50%）为男生，女生数量相同。总体平均年龄为16.14±1.36岁（范围：14 - 18岁）。相关系数表明，学生中情感虐待与自尊之间存在显著负相关（羞辱r = -0.33，p<0.01；剥削r = -0.30，p<0.01；孤立r = -0.36，p<0.01；忽视r = -0.32，p<0.01；拒绝r = -0.43，p<0.01；恐吓r = -0.35，p<0.01）。情感虐待强烈预示着青少年的低自尊（孤立β = -0.12, p<0.05；拒绝β = -0.30, p<0.001）。研究结果表明，在情感虐待的羞辱成分和自尊方面存在显著的性别差异。
情感虐待强烈预示着青少年的低自尊。在羞辱方面性别是一个重要因素。
