试图验证流行的儿童虐待和忽视的多因素理论,该理论将虐待解释为(a)父母的人格特征,(b)由于先前存在的偏差而“处于危险”的儿童,以及(c)环境压力的函数。80名低社会经济地位的母亲分别来自3个样本——已知的虐待、忽视和正常的治疗控制——在12个变量上进行了测量,包括密歇根育儿筛查概况、近期经历表、州南部儿童养育问卷和家庭生活形式。多重判别分析将忽视母亲与其他两组区分在显著水平上,主要是由于压力相关变量。大约12%的判别空间是基于密歇根父母筛选档案中的压力和人格因素来解释的;49%的Ss被正确重新分类。结论是,当回顾性应用时,所提出的儿童虐待因果前因模型的解释力有限。建议改进仪器、抽样技术和前瞻性纵向方法进行后续调查。(30 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA,版权所有)
Attempted to verify the prevailing multifactor theory of child abuse and neglect, which explains maltreatment as a function of (a) personality characteristics of parents,(b) children" at risk" due to preexisting deviancy, and (c) environmental stress. 80 low socioeconomic-status mothers from each of 3 samples—known-abuse, neglect, and normal treatment controls—were measured on 12 variables, including the Michigan Screening Profile of Parenting, the Schedule of Recent Experience, the Downstate Childrearing Questionnaire, and the Family Life Form. A multiple discriminant analysis distinguished the neglecting mothers from the other 2 groups at a significant level, primarily as a result of stress-related variables. Approximately 12% of the discriminant space was explained on the basis of stress and personality factors from the Michigan Screening Profile of Parenting; 49% of all Ss were correctly reclassified. It is concluded that the proposed model of causal antecedents to child maltreatment has limited explanatory power when applied retrospectively. Improved instruments, sampling techniques, and prospective longitudinal approaches are suggested for subsequent investigations.(30 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
