OBJECTIVE
Inadequate supervision has been linked to children's injuries. Parental injury prevention beliefs may play a role in supervision, yet little theory has examined the origins of such beliefs. This study examined whether mothers who perpetrated child neglect, who as a group provide inadequate supervision, have more maladaptive beliefs. Then, it tested a social information processing (SIP) model for explaining these beliefs.
METHODS
SIP and injury prevention beliefs were assessed in disadvantaged mothers of preschoolers (N = 145), half with child neglect histories.
RESULTS
The neglect group exhibited significantly more maladaptive injury prevention beliefs than comparisons. As predicted, SIP was linked to beliefs that may increase injury risk, even after accounting for relevant sociodemographic variables.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings support the link of beliefs to injury risk and suggest that specific cognitive problems may underlie these beliefs. Future work should further validate this model, which may inform enhancements to prevention efforts.
目的
监督不足与儿童受伤有关。父母的伤害预防信念可能在监督中发挥作用，但很少有理论探讨这些信念的起源。本研究检验了是否有虐待儿童的母亲（作为一个群体，提供监督不足），她们有更多的适应不良的信念。然后，它测试了一个社会信息处理（SIP）模型来解释这些信念。
方法
在有学龄前儿童的贫困母亲中评估 SIP 和伤害预防信念（N=145），其中一半有儿童忽视史。
结果
忽视组表现出明显更多的适应不良的伤害预防信念，而不是对照组。正如预测的那样，即使考虑到相关的社会人口统计学变量，SIP 也与可能增加伤害风险的信念相关。
结论
研究结果支持信念与伤害风险之间的联系，并表明特定的认知问题可能是这些信念的基础。未来的工作应该进一步验证这一模型，这可能为预防工作的改进提供信息。
