A Comparison of Abused, Neglected, and Normal Children Utilizing the Children's Behavioral Classification Project.

The purpose of this study was to compare responses of mothers of abused, neglected and normal children to the Children's Behavioral Classification Project (CBCP) in order to identify distinct behavioral characteristics of each of these groups of children. In addition, Edward's Social Desirability Scale was administered to the mothers of these children in order to determine if these mothers tended to respond to questionnaires in socially desirable ways. The sample consisted of 10 mothers of abused children, 10 mothers of neglected children, 10 mothers of normal children matched to the abused group of children, and 10 mothers of normal children matched to the neglected group of children. The groups of normal children were matched to the groups of abused and neglected children according to age, sex, and race. The mothers of the normal children were matched to the mothers of the abused and neglected children according to race and income. Coefficients of profile similarity (the Tp) on the CBCP were computed among cell pairs of the 40 subjects. A cluster analysis of the coefficient matrix was completed by use of the Numerical Taxonomy System. From this analysis, 30 subjects were clustered into nine dis­ tinct clusters. Many of the clusters derived did not distinguish clearly between the abused, neglected and normal groups of children. Some clusters delineated, however, were comprised predominantly of abused children, and others were comprised predominantly of neglected children. With such results, it was concluded that a conglomerate picture exists in regard to the personality factors of abused and neglected children.
