Abstract:
Parents play a key role in child CSA prevention, but the mechanisms underlying the intergenerational knowledge transmission are not fully understood. This study explores the role of two parenting practices - parent-child communication and parent\'s protective behavior - as mediating factors in the relation between parents\' knowledge and their children\'s knowledge and skills. Four hundred and ten dyads of early adolescents and their mother or father from rural China participated in the study. Parents were surveyed on their knowledge, protective behaviors, and parent-child communication regarding CSA, while children answered questions on relevant knowledge and skills. Results revealed that parental knowledge was positively and significantly related to communication and protective behavior, protective behavior was positively related to children\'s knowledge and skills, but the coefficient between communication and children\'s knowledge and skills was insignificant. The findings highlight direct parental protection as one of the most important mechanism for intergenerational knowledge transmission.
摘要:
父母在儿童CSA预防中起着关键作用,但是代际知识传播的潜在机制尚未完全理解。本研究探讨了两种育儿方式-亲子沟通和父母的保护行为-作为父母知识与子女知识和技能之间关系的中介因素的作用。来自中国农村的400名青少年及其母亲或父亲参加了这项研究。对父母的知识进行了调查,保护行为,以及关于CSA的亲子沟通,而孩子们回答了有关知识和技能的问题。结果显示,父母知识与沟通和保护行为呈显著正相关,保护行为与儿童的知识和技能呈正相关,但是沟通与儿童的知识和技能之间的系数微不足道。研究结果强调了直接父母保护是代际知识传播的最重要机制之一。
