| Abstract: | A sample of 85 children, ages 3 to 12, and sexually abused withinthe previous 24 months, were evaluated with the Child BehaviorChecklist (CBCL, Achen-bach & Edelbrock, 1983). Data relatingto the nature of the abuse were also collected. This samplewas clearly more deviant behaviorally as measured by the CBCL.Internalizing behavior was related to the frequency of abuse,the sex of the child, the relationship of the perpetrator tothe child, and the severity of abuse. Externalizing behaviorwas related to the duration, perpetrator's relationship, timeelapsed, and sex of the child. Sexual behavior in this samplewas related to frequency of abuse and number of perpetrators. |
