The instruments administered to the children included the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children, Depression Self- Rating Scale, the Index of Peer Relations, the Children's Action Tendency Scale, and the Louisville Behavior Checklist. The analysis showed no interaction effect of group by gender, but the two main effects of group (abused versus nonabused) and gender were significant. The findings indicated that there are more similarities than differences between male and female child sexual abuse victims. Victims differed from nonvictims significantly in terms of emotional, interpersonal, and mental health problems.
