OBJECTIVE
The first objective of this study was to determine if children exposed to domestic violence were significantly more likely to be cruel to animals than children not exposed to violence. The second was to determine if there were significant age and gender differences between children who were and were not cruel to animals.
METHOD
A community sample of 47 mothers with two children and a history of domestic violence were compared to a matched sample of 45 mothers with two children who did not have such a history.
RESULTS
Children exposed to domestic violence were significantly more likely to have been cruel to animals than children not exposed to violence. The age and gender of children who were cruel to animals did not differ from children who were not cruel to animals. However, exposed children cruel to animals were significantly older than non-exposed children cruel to animals.
CONCLUSION
Animal cruelty by children is correlated with exposure to domestic violence.
目的
本研究的首要目的是确定遭受家庭暴力的儿童比未遭受暴力的儿童对动物残忍的可能性是否显著更高。第二个目的是确定对动物残忍和不残忍的儿童之间是否存在显著的年龄和性别差异。
方法
将47名有两个孩子且有家庭暴力史的母亲组成的社区样本与45名有两个孩子但无此类历史的母亲组成的匹配样本进行比较。
结果
遭受家庭暴力的儿童比未遭受暴力的儿童对动物残忍的可能性显著更高。对动物残忍的儿童的年龄和性别与不对动物残忍的儿童没有差异。然而，遭受家庭暴力且对动物残忍的儿童比未遭受家庭暴力且对动物残忍的儿童年龄显著更大。
结论
儿童虐待动物与遭受家庭暴力有关。
