Abstract

Child Emotional Abuse (CEA) refers to the significant impairment of a child’s social,
emotional and intellectual development resulting from the adult’s persistent
hostility, ignoring, blaming and discrimination of the child. An online survey was
administered to 615 undergraduates in Singapore and they were asked to recall
their childhood experiences of emotional abuse. Based on the results, the study
looked at the theoretical implications and practical contributions to policymakers,
campaign organisers and parents to address the problem of CEA in Singapore.
