Abstract

In our study we compared abuse victims to normal cohorts. A significant difference was found in their personality traits and decision-making style based on the age that the abuse occurred (child, adult). In addition, the type of abuse (neglect, physical, emotional, or sexual) also impacted their personality and decision-making behavior.
