To test the prediction that the interaction of physical abuse and internalizing problems will heighten levels of aggressive behavior in a group of disruptive children.
Fifty-two clinic-referred disruptive children (aged 7 through 15 years) were assessed in terms of history of physical abuse, internalizing behavior problems (rated by parents), and aggressive behavior (rated by parents, teachers, and clinic staff).
Physically abused children with co-occurring high levels of internalizing problems (based on a median split) exhibited significantly higher levels of aggression as rated by parents (p < .000) and teachers (p < .020) and a trend toward heightened aggression as rated by staff (p < .08). The patterns were similar across the three independent informants and remained regardless of age, gender, or race.
Physical abuse was related to heightened levels of aggression only in those children who also had emotional difficulties. Results lend some support to a transactional model of the development of aggression, suggesting that problems arise out of interactions between child factors (such as internalizing problems) and adverse family experiences (such as physical abuse).
检验如下预测，即身体虐待与内化问题的相互作用会加剧一组破坏性行为儿童的攻击性行为水平。
对52名转介至诊所的破坏性行为儿童（年龄在7至15岁之间）进行评估，内容包括身体虐待史、内化行为问题（由父母评定）以及攻击性行为（由父母、教师和诊所工作人员评定）。
伴有高水平内化问题（基于中位数划分）的受身体虐待儿童，经父母评定（p < .000）和教师评定（p < .020），其攻击性行为水平显著更高，且经工作人员评定有攻击性行为加剧的趋势（p < .08）。这三种独立信息提供者的评定模式相似，且不受年龄、性别或种族影响。
身体虐待仅与那些同时存在情绪问题的儿童的攻击性行为水平升高有关。研究结果为攻击性行为发展的相互作用模型提供了一些支持，表明问题源于儿童因素（如内化问题）与不良家庭经历（如身体虐待）之间的相互作用。
