Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but two articles that look

at corporal punishment and/or physical abuse are...<br><br>

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF ADOLESCENTS AND ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT<br><br>
I put in the webpage address. Don't know if you are familiar with the
<br>
work of Murray Straus. He had a webpage where he generously put many of
<br>
his published articles and I often use his articles when teaching <br>
courses on family violence.<br><br>
Also, the book Beating the Devil Out of Them by Straus may have some
<br>
information on your topic too.<br><br>

my dissertation proposal that examines the differential outcomes of
<br>
single versus multiple child abuse and neglect experiences. I intend to
<br>
use the Comprehensive Child Maltreatment Scale (CCMS) for Adults <br>
(Higgins & McCabe, 2001) in order to assess abuse/non-abuse status in
<br>
an Internet community sample. The CCMS is a retrospective self-report
<br>
measure of childhood abuse and neglect experiences designed for a <br>
nonclinical population. The department chair of my specialization, who
<br>
is not familiar with the child maltreatment literature, is concerned
<br>
that the use of this measure may cause potential problems due to the
<br>
sensitive nature of the questions. He is worried that participants may
<br>
have adverse reactions to this questionnaire, and that potential legal
<br>
ramifications may result. Here is where I need some input:<br>

questionnaires? What precautions could be taken to reduce the <br>
likelihood of adverse reactions to sensitive questions? What options do
<br>
I have to assess for abuse histories without the use of such <br>
questionnaires?<br>
