We have studied the impact of various kinds of abuse and neglect on the child's perception of himself and his future. We found, when considering physical abuse, physical neglect, verbal abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse, that less than 5% of these mistreatments occurred in isolation. Since the vast majority of mistreated children are subject to more than one kind of abuse or neglect, it was important to delineate which combinations have the greatest effect. We found that a combination of physical neglect, physical abuse, and verbal abuse had the greatest impact on children, affecting such things as their enjoyment of living and hopes for the future. An early age of onset for verbal abuse and emotional neglect was significantly associated with greater severity and frequency of mistreatment. Neglect appears to be a precursor to abuse in many cases.
我们研究了各类虐待和忽视对儿童自我认知及未来展望的影响。在考虑身体虐待、身体忽视、言语虐待、情感忽视和性虐待时，我们发现这些虐待行为中单独发生的不到5%。由于绝大多数受虐待儿童遭受不止一种虐待或忽视，因此明确哪种组合影响最大很重要。我们发现，身体忽视、身体虐待和言语虐待的组合对儿童影响最大，影响到他们对生活的享受以及对未来的期望等方面。言语虐待和情感忽视的早期发生与虐待的更严重程度和频率显著相关。在许多情况下，忽视似乎是虐待的先兆。
