目的：本文的目的是调查与意大利儿童家庭暴力相关的因素。家庭结构和特点的照顾者和儿童进行了探讨。他们的关联与未成年人和严重的暴力事件的发生率进行了分析，以检验假设，儿童身体虐待是有关的不同因素的组合，涉及家庭作为一个整体。方法：本研究进行了匿名问卷调查，2388个家庭居住在托斯卡纳，意大利。该表格包括两个部分，一部分涉及家庭文化基础，另一部分涉及1998年期间影响家庭的潜在影响事件。另一个，采取从冲突策略（CT）规模，提出了一个层次的可能反应的冲突。结果：体罚似乎是一种普遍的行为在意大利，因为未成年人暴力的发生率为77%。严重暴力的发生率约为8%。在意大利，当考虑到家庭、看护人和儿童的特征与体罚最相关时，我们发现，低收入家庭、看护人有健康问题或压力大的家庭、以及有更年轻和更多“问题”儿童的家庭，在解决冲突过程中发生家庭内暴力的风险最高。结果指出，在家庭成员之间复杂和动态的关系中，增强和补偿因素之间的平衡非常重要，以避免最终导致暴力的冲突的战略解决。此外，轻微暴力和严重暴力似乎是两种相关但不同的现象。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Objective: The purpose of this paper was to investigate factors associated with intrafamily violence toward children in Italy. Family structure and the characteristics of both caretakers and children were explored. Their association with the incidence of minor and severe violence was analyzed to test the hypothesis that child physical abuse is related to a combination of different factors involving the family as a whole.Method: This research was carried out by submitting an anonymous questionnaire to 2388 families residing in Tuscany, Italy. The form included two sections, one related to the family cultural substrate, and to potentially influential events affecting the family during the year 1998. The other one, taken from the conflict tactics (CT) scales, presented a hierarchy of possible responses to conflict.Results: Physical punishment appeared to be a general behavior in Italy, because the incidence of minor violence was 77%. The incidence of severe violence was about 8%. When considering family, caretaker, and child characteristics mostly associated with physical punishment in Italy, we found that families with a low income, where caretakers had health problems or were stressed, and with younger and more "problematic" children presented the highest risk of intrafamily violence during conflict resolution.Conclusions: The results point to the importance of a balance between potentiating and compensatory factors in complex and dynamic relationships among family members, to avoid strategy resolution of conflict ultimately leading to violence. Moreover, minor and severe violence appeared to be two related but different phenomena. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
