Abstract

We asked 111 6- to 11-year-old maltreated children to tell "everything that happened" on their last birthday, the last time they did something they liked to do outside, and yesterday. All children produced details in response to the like to do and yesterday narratives, compared to 98% of children in response to the birthday narrative. Questions about yesterday were more likely to elicit productive responses (93%) than questions about the child's birthday (90%) or things they liked to do (88%). Older children produced the most details in response to questions about yesterday, and older children's birthday narratives were more productive than those about favorite activities. Narratives about children's birthday and yesterday produced comparable percentages of negative details (15%), whereas 32% of children mentioned something negative when discussing a favorite activity. The results suggest that although children find yesterday easier to recall than their last birthday, the birthday narrative is a productive tool for encouraging children to practice recalling more remote events, preparing them for abuse disclosures.

6-11岁受虐待儿童生日叙述的比较生产力

我们要求 111 名 6 至 11 岁的受虐儿童讲述他们上一次生日、上一次在户外做喜欢做的事情以及昨天发生的 "所有事情"。所有儿童在回答 "喜欢做的事 "和 "昨天 "的叙述时都提供了细节，而在回答 "生日 "的叙述时，只有 98% 的儿童提供了细节。有关昨天的问题比有关孩子生日（90%）或他们喜欢做的事情（88%）的问题更容易得到有成效的回答（93%）。年长儿童在回答有关昨天的问题时提供的细节最多，而年长儿童的生日叙述比有关最喜欢的活动的叙述更有成效。关于儿童生日和昨天的叙述中，负面细节所占比例相当（15%），而在讨论最喜欢的活动时，32% 的儿童提到了负面内容。结果表明，虽然儿童认为昨天比上次生日更容易回忆，但生日叙述是一种有效的工具，可以鼓励儿童练习回忆更遥远的事件，为他们披露虐待行为做好准备。
