Abstract

This paper reviews the literature regarding homicide in children and discusses the various hypotheses regarding the etiology of murderous aggression. The relationship of perceived locus of control as a cognitive style and homicidal behavior in children is discussed. A comparison of children matched for severity of illness, sex, age, and intelligence is described which found the nine homicidal children, ages 6 to 11, to perceive themselves as more externally controlled than the comparison group of children hospitalized for similar psychiatric disorders. Issues related to prevention, detection, and treatment are presented.

摘要

本文回顾了有关儿童杀人行为的文献，并讨论了关于谋杀性攻击病因的各种假说。文中还探讨了作为一种认知风格的控制点认知与儿童杀人行为之间的关系。本文描述了一项针对病情严重程度、性别、年龄和智力相匹配的儿童的比较研究，该研究发现，9名年龄在6至11岁的杀人儿童比因类似精神疾病住院的对照组儿童更倾向于认为自己受外部控制。文中还提出了与预防、检测和治疗相关的问题。
