Abstract

Background: Childhood maltreatment contributes to a large mental health burden worldwide. Different measures of childhood maltreatment are not equivalent and may capture meaningful differences. In particular, prospective and retrospective measures of maltreatment identify different groups of individuals and are differentially associated with psychopathology. However, the reasons behind these discrepancies have not yet been comprehensively mapped.

Methods: In this review, we draw on multi-disciplinary research and present an integrated framework to explain maltreatment measurement disagreement.

Results: We identified three interrelated domains. First, methodological issues related to measurement and data collection methods. Second, the role of memory in influencing retrospective reports of maltreatment. Finally, the motivations individuals may have to disclose, withhold, or fabricate information about maltreatment.

Conclusions: A greater understanding of maltreatment measurement disagreement may point to new ways to conceptualise and assess maltreatment. Furthermore, it may help uncover mechanisms underlying maltreatment-related psychopathology and targets for novel interventions.

研究综述：虐待的前瞻性和回顾性衡量标准为何不同？叙述性综述。

背景：儿童虐待在全球范围内造成了巨大的心理健康负担。不同的儿童虐待测量方法并不等同，可能会捕捉到有意义的差异。特别是，前瞻性和回顾性的虐待测量方法可以识别不同的人群，并与精神病理学有不同的关联。然而，这些差异背后的原因尚未得到全面了解：在这篇综述中，我们借鉴了多学科的研究成果，提出了一个综合框架来解释虐待测量差异：结果：我们确定了三个相互关联的领域。第一，与测量和数据收集方法相关的方法论问题。其次，记忆在影响虐待回顾性报告中的作用。最后，个人披露、隐瞒或编造虐待信息的动机：加深对虐待测量分歧的理解可能会为虐待的概念化和评估提供新的方法。此外，它还有助于发现与虐待相关的精神病理学的内在机制以及新型干预措施的目标。

Neuroscience and Neurobiology: Research on the neural and biological underpinnings of child mental health. Genetics: Genetic factors contributing to the development of childhood disorders. JCPP serves as a platform for integrating empirical research, clinical studies, and high-quality reviews from diverse perspectives, theoretical viewpoints, and disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach is a key feature of the journal, as it fosters a comprehensive understanding of child and adolescent mental health.
