Abstract
The impact of multiple victimization on the development of social and emotional regulatory processes is examined. Questions are raised regarding both the quantitative and qualitative impact of singular versus multiple maltreatment. Normal development of self regulation is discussed as well as measures commonly used to assess it. Abuse research findings relevant for considering the development of regulatory processes are reviewed. Finally, the influence of family, individual child, and parenting factors is considered as related to regulation. The recommendation is made for more careful research, guided by developmental theory and using more specific measures of developmental problems and competencies.
