Compared to the national rate, abused children are _____ times _____ likely to abuse their own children.

Answer 1

Compared to the national rate, abused children are 4 times more likely to abuse their own children.

Research on the role of family influences on aggression indicates that parents' aggression can influence children's social problem-solving. Abused children are more likely to resort to abusive behavior in adulthood than children who did not experience abuse.
