目睹婚姻暴力和台灣都會區國中生受虐程度關聯性之研究

The relationship between experiences of spousal violence and exposed to child abuse for junior high school students in the Taiwanese metropolitans

過去有關兒童受虐議題之相關研究，大多偏重探討目睹婚姻暴力對兒童之影響，目睹婚姻暴力與青少年受虐程度關聯性卻相對的受到忽視。所以本研究之目的在於試圖瞭解「目睹婚姻暴力」與「兒童少年虐待」的關聯性，並檢驗是否存在著性別差異效應，以補足「兒童虐待」相關實徵研究的缺口。本研究以台灣都會地區之國民中學學生為對象，採分層叢集隨機抽樣，共計回收有效問卷1,182份，並使用典型相關技術分析所搜集之數據。研究結果發現，1.目睹父母婚姻暴力和國中生受虐之間具有正相關性，且無性別差異的效應；2.目睹父母不同的婚姻暴力關聯著不同的受虐型態；3.目睹父母暴力行為愈多，則遭受父母嚴重虐待情形愈多；4.父母之間的婚姻暴力可能是造成國中生遭受父母嚴重虐待的主要因素。本文並依據研究發現，就實務及學術上提出建議。

Few empirical studies have focused on the relationship between experiences of spousal violence and child abuse. There have been gander differences in the response of facing family violence. Therefore, the purpose of this study tried to find out whether child abuse was related to the experience of spousal violence varying by gander. The results of the study might contribute to child abuse literatures. The sample in this study consisted of 1, 182 students in the metropolitans of Taiwan with stratified random cluster sampling. In this study, canonical correlation was used to analyze the collected data. The major findings were as followings: (1) exposed to child abuse was related to the experience of spousal violence, but no gander effect; (2) different types of child abuse-varied by different styles of spousal violence; (3) youths who exposed more spousal violence had more experiences of serious abuse; (4) spousal violence might play an important role in the explanation of child abuse. Some suggestions were also provided in the study.
