| description | Objective: This study aimed to describe the extent and pattern of parental child battering in Chinese families in Hong Kong. It was hypothesized that the unique feature of filial piety in Chinese culture will create a different pattern of child abuse in Hong Kong when compared to Western societies.
Method: A telephone survey of 1,019 households randomly selected from the local residential telephone directory was completed. Three hundred and fifty-nine fathers and 660 mothers of a child at or under the age of 16 participated in the study. The occurrence of child abuse was assessed by the Chinese version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Results: The base rate of physical child abuse was 526 per 1,000 children for minor violence and 461 per 1,000 children for severe violence. Minor violence was most likely directed at children aged 3–6 years or children without siblings in the family; and committed by mothers, parents aged 19–37 years, or housewives/unemployed fathers. The highest rate of severe violence occurred among boys or children aged 3–6 years; and was committed by mothers, parents aged 19–37 years, or housewives/unemployed fathers. Common risk factors of child abuse were identified for Chinese and US families.
Conclusions: When compared to US families, Chinese families showed slightly lower rates of minor violence but higher rates of severe violence toward children. Children aged 3–6 years were the most vulnerable victims and female caregivers the most likely abusers in both US and Chinese families. Our findings also suggested that it cannot be assumed that results based on local official statistics and clinical samples regarding the extent of child abuse and characteristics of the victims and abusers can be accurately extended to community samples.
Objectif: Cette étude décrit l’étendue et la forme de maltraitance des enfants dans des familles Chinoises à Hong Kong. L’hypothèse formulée est que la prése d’une caractéristique aussi spécifique à la culture Chinoise que la piété filiale crée une forme différente de maltraitance à Hong Kong, comparée au sociétés Occidentales.
Méthode: Une étude téléphonique de 1019 ménages, sélectionnés au hasard à partir bottin téléphonique local a été effectuée trois cent cinquante neuf pères et 660 mères d’un enfant âgé en dessous de 16 ans ont participé à l’étude. Le présence de mauvais traitements a été évaluée à partir de la version Chinoise du Conflict Tactics Scale (

Méthode: Une étude téléphonique de 1019 ménages, sélectionnés au hasard à partir bottin téléphonique local a été effectuée trois cent cinquante neuf pères et 660 mères d’un enfant âgé en dessous de 16 ans ont participé à l’étude. Le présence de mauvais traitements a été évaluée à partir de la version Chinoise du Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Résultats: Le taux de base de mauvais traitements physiques était de 526 pour 1000 enfants pour les violences mineures et de 461 pour 1000 enfants pour les violences sévères. Les violences mineures étaient dirigées sur des enfants âgé entre 3 et 6 ans sans fratrie; et par des mères, parents âgé entre 19 et 37 ans, des ménagères/pères sans emploi. Le taux le plus élevé de violence sévère a été retrouvé parmi les garçons ou enfants âgé entre 3 et 6 ans; et par des mères, parents, âgé entre 19 et 37 ans, ou des ménagères/pères sans emploi. Des facteurs de risque communs ont été éta pour les familles Chinoises et Américaines (USA).
Conclusions: Comparées aux familles Americaines, les familles Chinoises présentaient de taux légèrement plus bas de violences mineures, mais des taux plus élevés violences sévères à l’égard des enfants. Ces enfants âgé de 3 à 6 ans étaient les victimes les plus vulnérables, et les femmes, les auteurs d’abus les plus plauxibles aussi bien pour les familles Chinoises qu’Américaines. Cependant on ne peut pas étendre les données de cet échantillon local ni le donnés cliniques à des échantillons communautaires.
Objetivo: Este estudio se propuso describir la cantidad y las caracterı́sticas del maltrato fı́sico infantil realizado por los padres en las familias chinas de Hong Kong. Se planteó la hipótesis de que las particulares caracterı́sticas de las parituclares caracterı́sticas de la dependencia filial en la cultura china producirı́an la existencia de patrones diferentes de maltrato infantil en comparación con la sociedad occidental.
Método: Se llevó a cabo una encuesta telefónica en 1019 hogares seleccionados al azar en el directorio telefónico de la ciudad. Participaron en el estudio un total de 359 padres y 660 madres con hijos/as con una ed igual o inferior a 16 años. La existencia de maltrato infantil fue evaluada utilizando la versión china del Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Resultados: La tasa de maltrato fı́sico infantil fue de 526 casos por cada 1000 niños para la “violencia severa”. La “violencia menor” fue mas frecuentemente dirigida a niños/as de entre 3 y 6 años y sin hermanos/as e la familia; fue realizada más frecuentemente por las madres, en familias con padres entre 19 y 37 años y por amas de casa o padres desempleados. Las tasas más altas de “violencia severa” se produjeron en el caso de los niños varones y para todos los niños/as de entre 3 y 6 años; al igual que en la “violencia menor”, fue también realizada más frecuentemente por las madre en familias con padres entre 19 y 37 años y por amas de casa o padres desempleados.
Conclusiones: En comparación con las familias americanas, las familias chinas muestran unos porcentajes ligeramente menores de “violencia meno pero tasas más altas de “violencia severa” hacia los niños/as. Tanto para las familias americanas como para las chinas, los ninos/as con edades entre 3 y 6 años son las vı́ctimas más vulnerables y las mujeres que les cuidan lo perpetradores más habituales. Nuestros resultados también sugirieron que puede ser asumido que los resultados, basados en las estadı́sticas oficiales locales y en las muestras clı́nicas, en relación a la cantidad de casos de maltrato infantil y a las caracteristicas de las vı́ctimas y de los perpetradores puedan generalizarse a las muestras de la comunidad.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0145-2134</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-7757</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/S0145-2134(98)00010-6</identifier><identifier>PMID: 9631250</identifier><identifier>CODEN: CABND3</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Adult ; Age Differences ; Asian Cultural Groups ; Biological and medical sciences ; Child ; Child Abuse ; Child abuse & neglect ; Child Abuse - statistics & numerical data ; Child, Preschool ; China - ethnology ; Chinese child abuse ; Chinese family violence ; Communities ; Crosscultural Differences ; East and West ; Families & family life ; Family Violence ; Female ; Foreign Countries ; Hong Kong ; Hong Kong - epidemiology ; Humans ; Incidence ; Male ; Medical sciences ; Parents ; Polls & surveys ; Psychology.

It was hypothesized that the unique feature of filial piety in Chinese culture will create a different pattern of child abuse in Hong Kong when compared to Western societies.
Method: A telephone survey of 1,019 households randomly selected from the local residential telephone directory was completed. Three hundred and fifty-nine fathers and 660 mothers of a child at or under the age of 16 participated in the study. The occurrence of child abuse was assessed by the Chinese version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Results: The base rate of physical child abuse was 526 per 1,000 children for minor violence and 461 per 1,000 children for severe violence. Minor violence was most likely directed at children aged 3–6 years or children without siblings in the family; and committed by mothers, parents aged 19–37 years, or housewives/unemployed fathers. The highest rate of severe violence occurred among boys or children aged 3–6 years; and was committed by mothers, parents aged 19–37 years, or housewives/unemployed fathers. Common risk factors of child abuse were identified for Chinese and US families.
Conclusions: When compared to US families, Chinese families showed slightly lower rates of minor violence but higher rates of severe violence toward children. Children aged 3–6 years were the most vulnerable victims and female caregivers the most likely abusers in both US and Chinese families. Our findings also suggested that it cannot be assumed that results based on local official statistics and clinical samples regarding the extent of child abuse and characteristics of the victims and abusers can be accurately extended to community samples.
Objectif: Cette étude décrit l’étendue et la forme de maltraitance des enfants dans des familles Chinoises à Hong Kong. L’hypothèse formulée est que la prése d’une caractéristique aussi spécifique à la culture Chinoise que la piété filiale crée une forme différente de maltraitance à Hong Kong, comparée au sociétés Occidentales.
Méthode: Une étude téléphonique de 1019 ménages, sélectionnés au hasard à partir bottin téléphonique local a été effectuée trois cent cinquante neuf pères et 660 mères d’un enfant âgé en dessous de 16 ans ont participé à l’étude. Le présence de mauvais traitements a été évaluée à partir de la version Chinoise du Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Résultats: Le taux de base de mauvais traitements physiques était de 526 pour 1000 enfants pour les violences mineures et de 461 pour 1000 enfants pour les violences sévères. Les violences mineures étaient dirigées sur des enfants âgé entre 3 et 6 ans sans fratrie; et par des mères, parents âgé entre 19 et 37 ans, des ménagères/pères sans emploi. Le taux le plus élevé de violence sévère a été retrouvé parmi les garçons ou enfants âgé entre 3 et 6 ans; et par des mères, parents, âgé entre 19 et 37 ans, ou des ménagères/pères sans emploi. Des facteurs de risque communs ont été éta pour les familles Chinoises et Américaines (USA).
Conclusions: Comparées aux familles Americaines, les familles Chinoises présentaient de taux légèrement plus bas de violences mineures, mais des taux plus élevés violences sévères à l’égard des enfants. Ces enfants âgé de 3 à 6 ans étaient les victimes les plus vulnérables, et les femmes, les auteurs d’abus les plus plauxibles aussi bien pour les familles Chinoises qu’Américaines. Cependant on ne peut pas étendre les données de cet échantillon local ni le donnés cliniques à des échantillons communautaires.
Objetivo: Este estudio se propuso describir la cantidad y las caracterı́sticas del maltrato fı́sico infantil realizado por los padres en las familias chinas de Hong Kong. Se planteó la hipótesis de que las particulares caracterı́sticas de las parituclares caracterı́sticas de la dependencia filial en la cultura china producirı́an la existencia de patrones diferentes de maltrato infantil en comparación con la sociedad occidental.
Método: Se llevó a cabo una encuesta telefónica en 1019 hogares seleccionados al azar en el directorio telefónico de la ciudad. Participaron en el estudio un total de 359 padres y 660 madres con hijos/as con una ed igual o inferior a 16 años. La existencia de maltrato infantil fue evaluada utilizando la versión china del Conflict Tactics Scale (
Straus 1979).
Resultados: La tasa de maltrato fı́sico infantil fue de 526 casos por cada 1000 niños para la “violencia severa”. La “violencia menor” fue mas frecuentemente dirigida a niños/as de entre 3 y 6 años y sin hermanos/as e la familia; fue realizada más frecuentemente por las madres, en familias con padres entre 19 y 37 años y por amas de casa o padres desempleados. Las tasas más altas de “violencia severa” se produjeron en el caso de los niños varones y para todos los niños/as de entre 3 y 6 años; al igual que en la “violencia menor”, fue también realizada más frecuentemente por las madre en familias con padres entre 19 y 37 años y por amas de casa o padres desempleados.
Conclusiones: En comparación con las familias americanas, las familias chinas muestran unos porcentajes ligeramente menores de “violencia meno pero tasas más altas de “violencia severa” hacia los niños/as. Tanto para las familias americanas como para las chinas, los ninos/as con edades entre 3 y 6 años son las vı́ctimas más vulnerables y las mujeres que les cuidan lo perpetradores más habituales. Nuestros resultados también sugirieron que puede ser asumido que los resultados, basados en las estadı́sticas oficiales locales y en las muestras clı́nicas, en relación a la cantidad de casos de maltrato infantil y a las caracteristicas de las vı́ctimas y de los perpetradores puedan generalizarse a las muestras de la comunidad.</abstract><cop>Oxford</cop><cop>New York, NY</cop><pub>Elsevier Ltd</pub><pmid>9631250</pmid><doi>10.1016/S0145-2134(98)00010-6</doi><tpages>11</tpages></addata></record> |
