The relationship between verbal ability and aggressive behavior in 53 physically abused children in a residential treatment center was examined. Characteristics differentiating aggressive children from their less aggressive peers were identified. Although general verbal ability was similar in aggressive and nonaggressive abused children, reading and expressive language deficits were more prevalent in the highly aggressive children. Highly aggressive children were significantly more deficient in reading ability and more often required speech-language services. Implications of these findings for treatment and future research are discussed.
对一家寄宿治疗中心的53名受身体虐待儿童的语言能力与攻击行为之间的关系进行了研究。确定了攻击性儿童与其攻击性较弱的同龄人之间的差异特征。尽管攻击性和非攻击性受虐儿童的一般语言能力相似，但阅读和表达性语言缺陷在高度攻击性儿童中更为普遍。高度攻击性儿童在阅读能力上明显更差，并且更经常需要言语治疗服务。讨论了这些发现对治疗和未来研究的意义。
