Abstract

RETRACTION: M. R. Bougar, S. H. M. Babaheydari, S. Khodarahimi, N. Mazraeh, and M. Sadeghi, “Behavioural Activation and Inhibition Systems of Fathers, Child Abuse and Childhood Psychopathology: The Mediating Role of Demographics,” Children & Society (Early View): https://doi.org/10.1111/chso.12929.

The above article, published online on 26 November 2024 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editors, Liam Berriman, Deevia Bhana, Sarah Crafter, Martin Robb and Yuwei Xu; Wendy Sims-Schouten, chair of the Editorial Board; the National Children's Bureau; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to unreliable conclusions and ethical concerns about the study.

Shortly after publication, the editorial office identified problems regarding the ethical approval and safeguarding practices underlying the study. Concerns were raised about the age and vulnerabilities of the minors involved in the study, the ethical appropriateness of a questionnaire on experiences of paternal abuse, the lack of consideration around age-appropriate practices of informed consent, and general absence of safeguarding and trauma-informed practice in the study's design and implementation.

In a subsequent research integrity investigation, original data provided by the authors was incomplete and was inconsistent with the published results. Based on these inconsistencies, the results presented in this manuscript are considered unreliable. The ethics approval statement, which was obtained retrospectively by the authors, is also considered to be insufficient.

Overall, the editorial office express deep concerns over this research involving minors, the corresponding study approval process, and how consent for participation by legal guardians was obtained. This practice described in this article is considered a violation of our expectations regarding the well-being and safeguarding of vulnerable children and constitutes unethical research.

The authors disagree with the decision to retract.

摘自：M. R. Bougar， S. H. M. Babaheydari， S. Khodarahimi， N. Mazraeh， M. Sadeghi，“父亲行为激活和抑制系统、儿童虐待和儿童精神病理：人口统计学的中介作用”，《儿童与健康》；上述文章于2024年11月26日在线发表在Wiley在线图书馆（wileyonlinelibrary.com）上，经期刊编辑Liam Berriman， Deevia Bhana, Sarah Crafter， Martin Robb和Yuwei Xu同意撤回；编辑委员会主席Wendy Sims-Schouten；国家儿童局；约翰·威利&；子有限公司由于不可靠的结论和对该研究的伦理担忧，已同意撤回该研究。发表后不久，编辑部就发现了有关该研究的伦理批准和保护实践的问题。人们对研究中涉及的未成年人的年龄和脆弱性、关于父亲虐待经历的问卷的道德适当性、缺乏对年龄适当的知情同意做法的考虑、以及在研究的设计和实施中普遍缺乏保护和创伤知情做法等问题提出了关注。在随后的研究诚信调查中，作者提供的原始数据不完整，与已发表的结果不一致。基于这些不一致，本文给出的结果被认为是不可靠的。作者追溯获得的伦理批准声明也被认为是不充分的。总的来说，编辑部对这项涉及未成年人的研究、相应的研究审批程序以及如何获得法定监护人的参与同意表示深切关注。本文中描述的这种做法被认为违反了我们对弱势儿童的福祉和保护的期望，构成了不道德的研究。作者不同意撤回的决定。
