“…Most studies were conducted in the United States, with 77.6% of the studies being cross‐sectional ( k = 45). Of the 58 papers located, one was published during the 1970s (Reidy, ), four were published during the 1980s (Bousha & Twentyman, ; Hjorth & Ostrov, ; Kinard, ; Main & George, ), nine during the 1990s (Darwish, ; de Paúl & Arruabarrena, ; Haskett, ; Hennessy, Rabideau, Cicchetti, & Cummings, ; Houck & King, ; Shields & Cicchetti, ; Shipman, ; Smith & Walden, ; Stoddart, ), and the rest of the reviewed papers ( k = 44) during the 2000s. This marked increase in the number of studies during the 2000s suggests a growing interest in emotion reactivity and regulation of maltreated children, as well as growing specificity in the theorizing of emotion reactivity, emotion regulation, and child maltreatment.…”

Emotion Reactivity and Regulation in Maltreated Children: A Meta‐Analysis

The many adverse effects of child maltreatment make the scientific investigation of this phenomenon a matter of vital importance. Although the relationship between maltreatment and problematic emotion reactivity and regulation has been studied, the strength and specificity of these associations are not yet clear. We examine the magnitude of the maltreatment-child-emotion reactivity/regulation link. Studies with substantiated maltreatment involving children aged up to 18 were included, along with a smaller number of longitudinal studies (58 papers reviewed, encompassing more than 11,900 children). In comparison to nonmaltreated children, maltreated children experience more negative emotions, behave in a manner indicative of more negative emotion, and display emotion dysregulation. We outline several theoretical implications of our results.

“…Still, existing work supports our expectations. Abused and neglected children have lower IQ scores (Rogeness, Amrung, Macedo, Harris, & Fischer, 1986;Sadeh, Hayden, McGuire, & Sach, 1994), are less oriented toward educational and vocational goals (Hjorth & Ostrov, 1982), and have poorer general academic performance (Eckenrode, Laird, & Doris, 1993;Gelles & Straus, 1990;Rogeness et al, 1986;Salzinger, Feldman, Hammer, & Rosario, 1991;Tarter, Hegedus, Winsten, & Alterman, 1984;Wolfe & Mosk, 1983). Victims of abuse and neglect also have lower educational attainment in early adulthood (Perez & Widom, 1994).…”

There is increasing speculation about links between violent victimization in childhood and adolescence and socioeconomic disadvantage in later adulthood, yet little work, either theoretical or empirical, has examined this issue. This paper integrates research on social and psychological consequences of victimization with theory and research on socioeconomic attainment to propose a theoretical model that situates adolescent victimization in the socioeconomic life course. Examination of data from a national sample of American adolescents (ages 11-17 in 1976) indicates a chain-like sequence in which victimization diminishes educational selfefficacy, which subsequently undermines educational performance and attainment. Through diminished educational attainment, adolescent victimization has substantial and wide-ranging effects on socioeconomic attainment in early adulthood. Theoretical and policy implications of these findings are discussed.A key issue for research on adolescence is the degree to which it sets the stage for later life. Adolescent experiences are studied to identify contexts, orientations, experiences, and behaviors that determine later life-course JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ON ADOLESCENCE, 14(2), 127-158

We investigated the ability of a measure of self-image, two measures of depression, and demographic characteristics to predict the outcome of depressive symptoms. Subjects were 47 adolescents who were referred to outpatient treatment for depression. Subjects were assessed for depressive symptoms at three time periods. Self-image as measured by the Offer Self-image Questionnaire (OSIQ) was a significant predictor of depressive symptoms at both 3 months and 1 year. That was independent of initial levels of depression. The two most predictive scales from the OSIQ were the emotional tone and mastery of the external world scales. The results are consistent with previous research indicating the importance of self-image in adolescent depression. The implications of these findings for treatment of adolescent depression are discussed.
