Loos, Mary Elizabeth; Alexander, Pamela C.

Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v12 n3 p340-60 Jun 1997

Assesses the long-term effects of parental physical abuse, verbal abuse, and emotional neglect in a sample of 247 female and 154 male college students. Results suggest that parental physical abuse and verbal abuse predicted current anger and that emotional neglect predicted loneliness and social isolation. Paternal maltreatment predicted negative outcomes in both groups. (RJM)
