“…In total, 2360 students from 71 classes participated in the study. Students were excluded when unreliable answers were suspected based on outlying scores (z-scores greater than 3.29 [34]) on the Wildman Symptom Checklist, a scale consisting of bogus symptoms, such as “The buzzing in my ears keeps switching from the left to the right” [35, 36], ( n = 31) or based on a specific pattern in their answers on the maltreatment questionnaire (e.g., all questions answered with the highest possible score; n = 23). In addition, students who were older than 17 ( n = 331) or younger than 12 years ( n = 2) or with missing data concerning age ( n = 123) were excluded.…”

BackgroundThere is a paucity of research on correlates of child maltreatment in limited-resource countries with a relatively high tolerance of harsh discipline. This Vietnamese study aimed to investigate associations between different types of child maltreatment and child emotional, cognitive, and physical health functioning as well as moderation effects of gender and ethnicity.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 1851 randomly selected students aged 12–17 years. Both self-report and more objective measures (weight, height, study ranking, and a memory test) were used.ResultsAll types of child maltreatment were associated with emotional dysfunctioning. Life time and past year experiences of physical abuse and life time experiences of sexual abuse and neglect were related to poorer perceived physical health. The study did not find associations between any type of child maltreatment and overweight or underweight status. Regarding cognitive functioning, life time experience of sexual abuse and neglect were related to poorer working memory performance. Noticeably, emotional abuse was related to better academic performance, which might be an indication of “tiger parenting” practice in Vietnam, implying academic performance stimulation at the expense of emotional security. No significant moderation effects by gender and ethnicity were found.ConclusionEven in a culture in which harsh discipline is normative, child maltreatment was related to negative aspects of child wellbeing including emotional, cognitive, and physical health functioning. Efficient and low-cost interventions on child maltreatment should be developed and conducted in Vietnam as well as other countries with similar contexts.

“…De Amerikaanse psychologen Wildman en Wildman (1999) construeerden een lijst met 30 onwaarschijnlijke symptomen en kenmerken die nauwelijks overlappen met de eerder genoemde sirs (Rogers et al, 1992) en sims (Merckelbach & Smith, 2003).…”

“…In hun oorspronkelijke doch ietwat karige onderzoek combineerden Wildman en Wildman (1999) de 30 checklistitems met evenzoveel realistische items (bijvoorbeeld 'mijn spieren doen pijn als ik lang gelopen of gerend heb' en 'verschillende keren per jaar loop ik een verkoudheid op'). 4 Deze verzameling namen ze vervolgens af bij twee groepen: controleproefpersonen en simulanten die werden geïnstrueerd om zich te gedragen alsof ze een uitkering veilig wilden stellen.…”

“…Hopefully, however, she or he will have access to reports, such as from treating physicians. Also, In both the physical and mental health fields, an evaluator may choose to use the Wildman Symptom Checklist (Wildman & Wildman, 1999; in an effort to identify persons who are claiming to suffer from bogus physical and psychiatric symptoms, as well as presenting themselves as possessing an unrealistically high level of morality. This brief, self-administered instrument along with scoring and interpretive instructions is presented as Appendix A to this article.…”
