本文考察了公众对特定父母管教行为的态度、特定父母管教行为的发生率、公众对儿童虐待预防工作的支持和参与程度，以及公众对儿童虐待原因的认识。1987年至1992年间，每年从全国代表性的1250名成年人样本中收集数据。大多数公众认为体罚和反复对孩子大喊大叫和咒骂是有害的，略多于一半（53%）的父母报告打屁股或打孩子。在接受调查的父母中，不到一半的人表示去年曾对孩子大喊大叫或说脏话。在1988年至1990年期间，这一比例有所下降，但在过去两年里略有上升。打屁股或打人的比例自1989年以来有所下降，而打人或试图用物体打人的比例则保持稳定。公众对防止虐待儿童有强烈的承诺。尽管个人可以在很大程度上防止虐待的信念在1989年至1991年间有所下降，但在1992年又有所上升。公众对防止虐待的行动的参与度仍然很高。公众认为家庭暴力是儿童受虐率上升的主要原因。
This article examines public attitudes toward specific parental discipline practices, the incidence of specific parental practices, the public's support for and involvement in child abuse prevention efforts, and the public's perceptions of the causes of child maltreatment. Data were collected from a nationally representative sample of 1,250 adults each year between 1987 and 1992. The majority of the public view physical punishment and repeated yelling and swearing at children as harmfuL Slightly more than half(53%) of the parents report spanking or hitting their children. Less than half of the parents surveyed reported yelling or swearing at their children in the last year The rates of reported yelling and swearing declined between 1988 and 1990 but rose slightly in the past 2 years. The rate of spanking or hitting has declined since 1989, whereas the rate of hitting or trying to hit with objects has remained stable. The public has a strong commitment to preventing child abuse. Although the belief that individuals can do a great deal to prevent abuse declined between 1989 and 1991, it rose in 1992. Public involvement in actions to prevent abuse remains high. The public sees domestic violence as the major cause of elevated rates of child abuse.
