What Works for Children in Resisting Assaults?
Asdigian, Nancy L.; Finkelhor, David
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v10 n4 p402-18 Dec 1995
In this national telephone survey 1,011 boys and girls between 10 and 16 were questioned about how they responded to threatened assaults. Boys, especially teens, used more aggressive forms of resistance. Children advised by their fathers to stand up and fight also felt more successful using aggressive resistance. Findings suggest different children use different protection strategies. (KW)
