Risk Abstracts
Experts define risk as a
combination of the magnitude and probability of adverse
effects. Recently, increasing scientific attention has
centered on the identification and alleviation of risk
in today's world. And Risk Abstracts provides a
comprehensive source for interdisciplinary perspectives
in this evolving field. Published in association with
the Institute for Risk Research at the University of
Waterloo, Risk Abstracts encompasses risk arising from
industrial, technological, environmental, and other
sources, with an emphasis on assessment and management
of risk. The database includes occasional articles on
topics of significant interest. The broad,
multidisciplinary coverage of risk-related concerns
ranges from public and environmental health to social
issues and psychological aspects. Professionals involved
in risk research studies, environmental science,
engineering and design, or any type of industry will
find in Risk Abstracts essential information that can
help them identify, measure, evaluate, and manage risks
of all kinds.

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. |
