Abstract: The impact of maltreatment on adolescent aggression is well recognized, however, calculating total scores for different types of maltreatment may obscure the unique role of these types. Few studies have emphasized the impact of emotional maltreatment on adolescent aggression, and even fewer have focused on the differences between subtypes of emotional maltreatment (emotional abuse and emotional neglect). As aggression has multiple dimensions, examining only overall aggression may limit our understanding.
