Abstract
Objective: The present study was designed to examine the extent
to which ethnic differences in the circumstances of abuse would
be related to psychological outcomes and whether the relationship
of ethnicity to psychological outcomes would be independent of
ethnic differences in the circumstances of abuse. Method: Ethnic
differences in the circumstances of the abuse, depression, and
anger, as measured by the Children's Depression Inventory and
the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, were assessed in 60
Black and Latino sexually abused males aged 13 to 18 years. Factors
related to levels of depression and anger in these two groups
were also identified. Results: Latino males were more likely to
have been sexually abused by an extended family member, experienced
more genital fondling, and were exposed to more sexually abusive
behaviors. Blacks were more likely to be abused by an immediate
family member. Black males had higher anger scores than Latino
males, but, there were no ethnic differences in depression scores.
Both ethnicity and the relationship to the perpetrator were significantly
related to scores on the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory,
however, ethnicity was also significantly related to anger scores
irrespective of the relationship to the perpetrator. Conclusions:
Ethnic differences in the circumstances of abuse were related
to psychological outcome and the relationship of ethnicity to
anger scores was independent of ethnic differences in the circumstances
of abuse. |
