Social support and collective efficacy are related to child physical abuse. However, little is known about whether these relationships differ by gender, although mothers and fathers differ in the quantity and quality of time spent with children. This study examined whether the relationship between social support, collective efficacy, and physical abuse is stronger for mothers than fathers. Telephone interviews were conducted with parent respondents in 50 California cities (N = 3,023). Data were analyzed via overdispersed multi-level Poisson models. Results suggest that high levels of emotional support were inversely associated with physical abuse for women and men, although this effect was stronger for women. High levels of companionship support were positively associated with physical abuse for women; however, the opposite was true for men. There were no significant interactions between collective efficacy variables and gender. The relationships between some types of social support and physical abuse appear to vary for men and women suggesting possibilities for more targeted intervention.
社会支持和集体效能与儿童身体虐待有关。然而，尽管母亲和父亲与孩子相处的时间在数量和质量上有所不同，但对于这些关系是否因性别而异却知之甚少。本研究考察了社会支持、集体效能与身体虐待之间的关系对母亲而言是否比对父亲更强。对加利福尼亚州50个城市的家长受访者进行了电话访谈（N = 3,023）。通过过度分散的多层次泊松模型对数据进行了分析。结果表明，高水平的情感支持与女性和男性的身体虐待呈负相关，尽管这种影响对女性更强。高水平的陪伴支持与女性的身体虐待呈正相关；然而，对男性而言则相反。集体效能变量与性别之间没有显著的交互作用。某些类型的社会支持与身体虐待之间的关系似乎因男性和女性而异，这表明有进行更有针对性干预的可能性。
