Abstract: Emotional neglect and abuse should be closely observed by experts and for that reason this study aims to determine the viewpoints on emotional neglect and abuse of experts who encounter or might possibly encounter children who are at risk of abuse. Quantitative research methods were used in this research, more specifically, the causal-comparative research method. A “questionnaire for experts” was used as a data collection tool for questions about emotional neglect and abuse. 780 experts were consulted using the random sampling method. A general evaluation of the results showed that there was no significant difference among experts in terms of whether the behaviors listed in the questionnaire were appropriate or not and whether they classified listed behaviors as child neglect or abuse. However, when the results of the one-way analysis of variance were examined, it was found that there were significant differences between the experts’ responses for some behaviors. The Tukey test was conducted to determine which group of experts had different opinions than others. When the results of the Tukey test were evaluated, it was seen that there was a positive difference between child development and other occupational groups.
