Psychological impact of family negligence (light <i>versus</i> serious) on a group of children

Abstract

The work studies to what extent a light or high level of negligence impacts negatively on the psychological development of a group of children. The sample was constituted by 57 subjects with an age range of 8 to 13 years. Tests, the teacher's evaluation and class partners' evaluation were used. The results demonstrated that the subjects that had suffered a high level of family negligence manifested more problems that the other group.
