Abstract
Children's reports are often crucial evidence in child maltreatment investigations; thus, it is essential to understand the factors contributing to children's maltreatment disclosure decisions. This study will examine how cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes contribute to children's disclosures about a controlled transgression event and how these processes vary with age.
