Exposure to multiple forms of violence is common amongst adolescents from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in South Africa. Adolescents' exposure to violence at home, in school and in their communities can lead to detrimental outcomes in education. In particular, adolescents who are more frequently exposed to multiple forms of violence are at risk of school delay. This paper investigates the potential for supportive parenting to protect against adolescents' school delay in this context. With this aim, this paper applies structural equation modelling to a sample of 503 adolescents exposed to multiple forms of violence from 40 socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Adolescents' self-report data on child abuse in the family, school and community, and adolescents' perceptions of positive parenting, consistent discipline, good monitoring, parental involvement and social support were analyzed. Results showed that perceptions of more positive parenting and consistent discipline moderated the relationship between more frequent exposure to multiple forms of violence and school delay. Our findings suggest that supportive parenting has the potential to protect against school delay for poly-victimized adolescents in South Africa.
在南非社会经济处于不利地位的社区中，青少年普遍面临多种形式的暴力。青少年在家中、在学校和在社区中遭受暴力，可能会对教育产生不利影响。特别是，经常遭受多种形式暴力的青少年面临着上学延迟的风险。本文探讨了在这种情况下，支持性父母教养方式是否可以预防青少年上学延迟。为此，本文采用结构方程模型对来自 40 个社会经济处于不利地位社区的 503 名遭受多种形式暴力的青少年进行了分析。分析了青少年对家庭、学校和社区中儿童虐待、青少年对积极养育、一致纪律、良好监督、父母参与和社会支持的看法。结果表明，对更积极的养育和一致纪律的看法，调节了更频繁地遭受多种形式暴力与上学延迟之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，支持性的父母教养方式有可能预防南非受多种形式暴力侵害的青少年上学延迟。
