• Traumatic events and posttraumatic stress in childhood. (2007, result): “In studies assessing for events at multiple time points, it is not uncommon for an event reported at 1 time point to be followed by a false-negative report.(50,51) Those results support the methods used in the current study of assessing severe events at multiple time points.”
• A 12-year prospective study of the long-term effects of early child physical maltreatment on psychological, behavioral, and academic problems in adolescence. (2002, background): “However, because participants in retrospective studies generally are selected from clinical samples in treatment, it is unclear whether they accurately represent the population that had been maltreated as children.(5,6) It is possible that relatively few adolescents and adults who had been maltreate”
• DISCLOSURE OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE What Does the Research Tell Us About the Ways That Children Tell (2005, neutral): “This could also explain why many of these participants denied abuse history 3 years later, during a follow-up interview ( Fergusson, Horwood, & Woodward, 2000 ).”
• A test of social learning and intergenerational transmission among batterers (2009, background): “Further, numerous researchers have critiqued the methodological considerations of using retrospective, crosssectional data versus prospective, longitudinal data ( Fergusson, Horwood, & Woodward, 2000 ).”
• Childhood abuse as a risk factor for psychotic experiences (2003, methodology): “possibility that current psychotic beliefs would bias the way the abuse questionnaire was answered (43), and (ii) be sure that the experience of abuse preceded the experience of psychotic symptoms.”
• Childhood trauma, psychosis and schizophrenia: a literature review with theoretical and clinical implications (2005, background): “CSA in particular is frequently kept secret, from everyone, for years (99).”
• The epidemiology of traumatic event exposure worldwide: results from the World Mental Health Survey Consortium (2015, background): “First, since retrospective reports may underestimate reports of TEs, especially those encountered early in life (Fergusson et al. 2000; Hardt & Rutter, 2004) and emotionally charged (Depue et al. 2007), some recall bias is inevitable.”
• Assessing the Reliability of Retrospective Reports of Adverse Childhood Experiences among Adolescents with Documented Childhood Maltreatment (2014, background): “While the majority of the studies have been focusing on reliability reports of sexual and physical abuse (e.g., Fergusson et al. 2000), we assessed the reliability report across 10 categories of childhood maltreatment.”
