Limited research has examined whether similar patterns in injurious spanking and other forms of child physical abuse (CPA) exist across specific ethnic/racial groups. The authors examined and compared differences in the lifetime prevalence of injurious spanking and CPA in two national samples of adolescents across ethnic/racial groups and over time. Participants were 4,023 youth (12-17 years) and 3,614 youth (12-17 years) who participated in the 1995 National Survey of Adolescents (NSA) and 2005 National Survey of Adolescents-Replication (NSA-R), respectively. Adolescents, who were identified through random digit dial procedures, completed a telephone interview assessment. Results indicated significant ethnic/racial variation across groups in reports of injurious spanking in the NSA and the NSA-R samples; however, significant differences were not observed within groups between the two samples over time. Ethnic/racial differences also were found between groups in reports of CPA in the NSA-R sample. Limitations and future directions of this research are discussed.
有限的研究考察了在特定种族/族群中，有害打屁股和其他形式的儿童身体虐待（CPA）是否存在类似的模式。作者在两个全国性的青少年样本中，跨种族/族群和时间，对有害打屁股和 CPA 的终身流行率进行了考察和比较。参与者分别是参加了 1995 年全国青少年调查（NSA）和 2005 年全国青少年重复调查（NSA-R）的 4023 名青少年（12-17 岁）和 3614 名青少年（12-17 岁）。通过随机数字拨号程序确定的青少年完成了电话访谈评估。结果表明，在 NSA 和 NSA-R 样本中，报告的有害打屁股在不同群体之间存在显著的种族/族群差异；然而，在两个样本中，不同群体之间在时间上没有观察到显著差异。在 NSA-R 样本中，不同群体之间还存在 CPA 报告的差异。讨论了这项研究的局限性和未来方向。
