背景:虽然有限,有一些证据表明,某些身体惩罚可能因家庭宗教而异。
目的:本研究旨在确定父母的管教行为是否因宗教信仰而异,不同的宗教团体。
方法:来自苏里南(2018年)和圭亚那(2019-20年)多指标类集调查的数据,其中包含具有全国代表性的家庭样本,被使用。这项研究仅限于三个最普遍的宗教团体:基督徒,印度教徒,和穆斯林。
方法:成人对一项标准化调查的回应,其中包括关于在家庭中对儿童(1-14岁)使用纪律行为的问题,并与户主的宗教信仰和多个协变量进行了研究。
结果:在3518个苏里南家庭中,62.4%,基督徒占23.3%和14.3%,印度教徒,穆斯林,分别。与基督徒相比,在调整后的逻辑回归模型中,印度教和穆斯林家庭的儿童被物体击中的几率显著降低.然而,只有印度教徒被打屁股的几率较低,穆斯林被打屁股的几率较低,与基督徒相比在2535个圭亚那家庭中,69.5%,23.5%和7.0%是基督徒,印度教徒,穆斯林,分别。印度教的儿童,但不是穆斯林家庭,被打屁股的几率大大降低,用一个物体击中,与基督徒相比,在调整后的模型中暴露于合并实践。
结论:发现部分支持宗教对某些纪律行为的潜在影响。需要进一步调查以确定可能的条件和机制。
BACKGROUND: Although limited, there is some evidence that certain physical punishments may vary by household religion.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether parent disciplinary behavior varies by religious affiliation in two countries which have large, diverse religious groups.
METHODS: Data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys for Suriname (2018) and
Guyana (2019-20), which contain nationally representative household samples, were used. The study was restricted to the three most prevalent religious groups: Christians, Hindus, and Muslims.
METHODS: Adult responses to a standardized survey that included questions about use of disciplinary behaviors in the household towards children (aged 1-14 years) were examined in relation to religious affiliation of the head-of-household and multiple covariates.
RESULTS: Of the 3518 Suriname households, 62.4 %, 23.3 % and 14.3 % were Christians, Hindus, and Muslims, respectively. Compared to Christians, children in both Hindu and Muslim households had significantly lower odds of being hit with an object in adjusted logistic regression models. However, only Hindus had lower odds of being spanked and Muslims lower odds of exposure to a combined physical and non-physical practice, compared to Christians. Of the 2535
Guyana households, 69.5 %, 23.5 % and 7.0 % were Christians, Hindus, and Muslims, respectively. Children in Hindu, but not Muslim households, had significantly lower odds of being spanked, hit with an object, and exposed to a combine practice in adjusted models compared to Christians.
CONCLUSIONS: Partial support was found for a potential influence of religion on some disciplinary behaviors. Further investigation is warranted to identify possible conditions and mechanisms.
