Methods An anonymous survey was conducted in 989 primary school students' parents from five primary schools in a rural area of Shandong province in 2014.Self-administered questionnaires were used to investigate childhood emotional neglect.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was undertaken to analyze the influencing factors of emotional neglect. Results A total of 989 primary school students were involved in this survey,and the emotional neglect was highly prevalent among this population.The total prevalence rate of childhood emotional neglect was 56.9%,including 54.8% for boys and 59.3% for girls,but the difference was not significant(χ²=2.020,P=0.155).Logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for childhood emotional neglect included children with higher grades(OR=1.912),with poorer academic achievement(OR=1.852),non-only child(OR=1.445),parents with lower education(OR=1.527),poorer family economic condition(OR=1.576) and less social support(OR=2.161).
