Child abuse is a major social concern around the world. Important to tackling the problem is an understanding of the mechanisms contributing to abusive parenting. This article brings together research on the cognitive variables associated with abusive or high-risk parenting. Considered are dysfunctional child-centered and parent-centered cognitions as potentially critical correlates of abusive behavior. The development of dysfunctional cognitions is also explored. Cognitive vulnerabilities alone are typically not sufficient for the occurrence of abuse. Interactions with additional factors, such as an ability to inhibit aggression, problem-solving capabilities, parenting skills, social isolation, and societal context are examined.
虐待儿童是全球主要的社会关切问题。解决这一问题的关键在于理解导致虐待性养育行为的机制。本文汇集了与虐待性或高风险养育行为相关的认知变量的研究。文中考虑了以儿童为中心和以父母为中心的功能失调认知，将其视为虐待行为潜在的关键相关因素。同时也探讨了功能失调认知的发展。通常情况下，仅认知脆弱性并不足以导致虐待行为的发生。本文还研究了与其他因素的相互作用，如抑制攻击性的能力、解决问题的能力、养育技能、社会孤立以及社会环境等。
