TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Cognitive and behavioral risk factors for child physical abuse among Chinese children: a multiple-informant study JO - Child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health A1 - Cui, Naixue A1 - Liu, Jianghong SP - e36 EP - e36 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - It has been well established that child physical abuse is a risk factor for cognitive deficits and behavioral problems. However, the possible link between cognitive deficits and behavioral problems placing children at a higher risk of physical abuse has been overlooked. Using a prospective design, the present study aims to examine whether previously measured cognition indicated by intelligence quotient (IQ), including performance IQ (PIQ) and verbal IQ (VIQ), and behavioral problems reported by multiple informants (i.e. mothers, teachers, and children) predict later child physical abuse (which may include minor and severe forms of abuse inflicted separately by mothers and fathers) in Chinese children.
