Fagot, Beverly I.; And Others
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v9 n2 p88-100 Sum 1989
The play behaviors of three groups of preschool children were compared. The physically abused children (N=11) were more antisocial, disruptive, and aggressive yet passive. The 15 sexually abused children were relatively quiet and engaged in more female-type activities, while 10 non-abused control group children exhibited more positive peer interactions. (Author/JDD)
