Abused and nonabused child witnesses to parental violence temporarily residing in a battered women's shelter were compared to children from a similar economic background on measures of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and behavior problems, using mothers' and self-reports. Results indicated significantly more distress in the abused-witness children than in the comparison group, with nonabused witness children's scores falling between the two. Age of child and types of violence were mediating factors. Implications of the findings are discussed.
对暂时居住在受虐妇女庇护所的遭受虐待和未遭受虐待的儿童证人与来自类似经济背景的儿童在自尊、焦虑、抑郁和行为问题方面进行了比较，采用了母亲报告和自我报告的方式。结果表明，受虐证人儿童的痛苦明显多于对照组，未受虐证人儿童的得分则介于两者之间。儿童年龄和暴力类型是中介因素。讨论了研究结果的意义。
