Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 07/01/09
Wilson HW et al. - Effect size varied across studies employing different methodologies, populations, and conceptualizations of violence exposure and antisocial behavior. These findings do not support a simple, direct link from early violence exposure to antisocial behavior but suggest that many factors influence this relationship.
Methods- This meta-analysis provides a quantitative comparison of 18 studies (N?=?18,245) assessing the relationship between childhood (before age 12) violence exposure and adolescent antisocial behavior.
- An overall effect size (Cohen's d) was calculated for each study, an average for the 18 studies, and averages for subsets of analyses within studies.
- Results indicated a small effect from prospective studies (d?=?.31) and a large effect from cross-sectional studies (d?=?.88).
- The effect for victimization (d?=?.61) was larger than for witnessing violence (d?=?.15).
