Durantini de Albarracin Psicología Child abuse child psychology This article reports a study of 96 children between 2 and 12 years old, interviewed with their mothers, at a PediatricClinic in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was funded by CONICET and Fundación Ecosistemas Humanos, and its objectivewas to obtain the standards of behavior of non-referred children during their interaction with Anatomically DetailedDolls (ADs ). The study comprised interviews with mother and child, as well as a pediatric examination. Children’sbehavior with ADs was observed and coded to generate typical profiles by gender and age, and also to investigateindividual, family, and contextual correlates of the behaviors. Negative factors, such as poverty, neglect, or physicalpunishment were found to increase activity with dolls, but also did positive factors, such as higher cognitive development.Explicitly sexual manipulations were very rare. This work provided a model for a standardized observation of thebehavior with anatomic dolls that can be used as an exploratory tool when sexual abuse is suspected. Being extremelyrare, explicit sexual manipulations of the dolls during an assessment deserve special attention from professionals. 2006 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28440308 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.3 Vol.40
