The present study examined the potential relationship between parenting variables and estimations of children's bicycle helmet use. Parents (N = 121) completed surveys asking about parental monitoring and questions about their bicycle habits and attitudes, as well as their expectations for their children to wear a helmet and their estimation of how often their children wear a helmet. Parents reported stronger helmet rules for their children who are beginning cyclists rather than experienced cyclists, and rules for experienced cyclists were more strongly endorsed among parents who reported more parental monitoring as well. Parents who wear helmets themselves endorsed stronger helmet rules for their experienced riders, compared to parents who do not wear helmets. Parents without helmet rules reported more peer pressure in that they were more likely to agree that their friends do not make their kids wear helmets and that their child's friends do not wear helmets. In addition, believing other parents do not wear helmets and believing one's child's friends do not wear helmets were both associated with a lower likelihood that their children wear a helmet. This appears to be the first study linking perceptions of parental peer pressure with helmet rules and use. For public health reasons, it is imperative to examine parental factors that may establish children's helmet wearing.
本研究考察了父母教养变量与儿童自行车头盔使用估计之间的潜在关系。父母（N=121）完成了调查，询问了父母监督以及关于他们自行车习惯和态度的问题，以及他们对孩子戴头盔的期望和对孩子戴头盔频率的估计。父母报告说，对于刚开始骑自行车的孩子，他们制定了更强硬的头盔规则，而对于有经验的骑自行车的孩子，那些报告父母监督更多的父母更支持头盔规则。与不戴头盔的父母相比，自己戴头盔的父母更支持对有经验的骑手的头盔规则。没有头盔规则的父母报告说，他们受到更多来自同龄人的压力，因为他们更有可能同意朋友不让自己的孩子戴头盔，而且孩子的朋友也不戴头盔。此外，相信其他父母不戴头盔，以及相信孩子的朋友不戴头盔，都与孩子戴头盔的可能性降低有关。这似乎是第一项将父母同辈压力的认知与头盔规则和使用联系起来的研究。出于公共卫生的原因，必须研究可能建立儿童头盔佩戴的父母因素。
