From data collected at the Sexual Assault Center in Seattle, Wash., on 369 sexually abused children and a community comparison sample of 318 nonabused children, results indicate that abused and nonabused children appear behaviorally different.
Abstract
Data describing the behavior of these children were collected from the child's parent and for the abused children from the social worker. Samples differed on a number of variables and these variables were used as control variables in the analysis. Abused and nonabused children appear behaviorally different on a set of factors and clinical dimensions constructed from the parent-completed measure. Suggestions for future research are provided. 2 tables, 1 note, and 18 references. (Author abstract modified)
