摘要

目的:尽管一些国家禁止体罚,但全球仍存在体罚现象,家长出于预防、纠正或惩罚的原因使用体罚。然而,在许多发展中国家,导致持续使用体罚的因素还缺乏全面的了解。本研究探讨了尼日利亚儿童在家庭、学校和社区等不同环境中遭受体罚的一些相关因素--对身体虐待的看法、童年体罚史以及对体罚效果的认知。研究方法采用横断面设计,从尼日利亚西南部的 187 名受访者中抽取样本,调查他们对体罚的看法、童年体罚史以及对儿童使用体罚的可能性。这些受访者中有 65.8% 的男性(n=123)和 34.2% 的女性(n=64),平均年龄为 26.60 岁(SD=5.91)。描述性分析用于描述人口统计学特征,多元回归分析用于研究相关性。结果显示结果显示,大多数受访者(n = 174,93%)在童年时期有过体罚经历,并认为体罚能有效改变孩子的行为(n = 139,74.3%)。对体罚行为的较弱看法、童年体罚史以及对体罚有效性的支持都与对儿童使用体罚的可能性增加相关,但正相关和负相关较低。结论研究结果强调了观念和童年经历在理解父母使用体罚中的作用。消除对体罚效果的误解可以揭示其负面影响,阻止使用体罚,并打破代际传递的循环。较弱的体罚观念和对体罚的支持所产生的影响表明了干预的潜力,包括提高家长意识的活动和教育计划,以推广管理儿童行为的其他纪律策略。

The Effects of Perception and Childhood History on the Likelihood of Using Corporal Punishment on Children in Southwest Nigeria
Purpose: Despite its prohibition in some countries, corporal punishment persists globally, with parents using it for preventive, corrective, or punitive reasons. However, factors contributing to its persistent use in many developing countries lack comprehensive understanding. This study explores some of these factors—perceptions of physical abuse, childhood history of corporal punishment, and perceived efficacy—associated with the corporal punishment of children in Nigeria, practiced in diverse settings such as home, school, and community. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to obtain a sample of 187 respondents from southwest Nigeria who participated in a survey exploring their perceptions, childhood history of corporal punishment, and likelihood of using such methods on children. They consist of 65.8% males (n = 123) and 34.2% females (n=64) with an average age of 26.60 years (SD = 5.91). Descriptive analysis was used to describe the demographic characteristics, and multiple regression analysis was used to examine the associations. Results: The results reveal that the majority of respondents (n = 174, 93%) had experienced corporal punishment during their childhood and perceived it as effective in modifying a child’s behavior (n = 139, 74.3%). Weaker perceptions of physically abusive behaviors, a history of childhood corporal punishment, and support for the efficacy of such punishment were all correlated with an increased likelihood of using corporal punishment on children, although the positive and negative correlations were low. Conclusion: Findings emphasize the role of perceptions and childhood experiences in understanding parental use of corporal punishment. Addressing misconceptions about its effectiveness can reveal negative impacts, discourage use, and break the cycle of intergenerational transmission. The influence of weaker perceptions and support for corporal punishment suggests intervention potential, including parental awareness campaigns and educational programs to promote alternative disciplinary strategies for managing children's behavior.
