This study investigated adolescents' assessment of various forms of child abuse and neglect. Participants (N = 204) rated the seriousness of vignettes describing a variety of parental actions relative to the degree of harm each was perceived to have on a child's welfare. Adolescents' responses were compared to those of community members and professionals as reported by Giovannoni and Becerra (1979). Results indicated that adolescents were somewhat similar to community members in their ratings; however, they were more severe in their judgments of parenting behaviors on 52 of the 65 items. As a group, adolescents were very critical of the parents' actions, suggesting that they are highly idealistic regarding parental treatment of children and may maintain inappropriate expectations for those responsible for raising children.
本研究调查了青少年对各种形式的儿童虐待和忽视行为的评估。参与者（N = 204）对描述各种父母行为的短文的严重程度进行评分，这些行为相对于人们认为每种行为对儿童福利造成的伤害程度。将青少年的回答与乔瓦诺尼和贝塞拉（1979年）报告的社区成员和专业人士的回答进行了比较。结果表明，青少年的评分与社区成员有些相似；然而，在65个项目中的52个项目上，他们对养育行为的判断更为严厉。总体而言，青少年对父母的行为非常挑剔，这表明他们对父母对待孩子的方式抱有高度理想化的态度，并且可能对抚养孩子的人保持不恰当的期望。
