Despite numerous criticisms of teachers' aggressive behaviors, there has been no consensus on which specific behaviors are considered unacceptable. Some legal regulations on this topic are perceived as unclear or are not enforced, which can lead to disputes between parents and teachers. This study investigated the acceptance of teachers' aggressive behaviors. The participants were 203 teachers and 293 parents of middle and high school students. The results are as follows: (1) parents and teachers tend to have similar perceptions of what constitutes physical aggressive behavior, (2) both groups perceive aggressive behavior as more acceptable when it is verbal compared to physical, and (3) ethnic culture and the level of a person's previous exposure to violence significantly influence the acceptance of teachers' aggressive behaviors. In addition to theoretical advancements, from a practical viewpoint, this study provides data that can serve as a basis for developing teacher training programs and reviewing school or government policies related to teacher violence.
尽管对教师的攻击性行为有诸多批评,但对于哪些具体行为被视为不可接受,尚未达成共识。关于这一主题的一些法律法规被认为不明确或未得到执行,这可能导致家长与教师之间的纠纷。本研究调查了对教师攻击性行为的接受程度。参与者为203名教师和293名中学生及高中生的家长。结果如下:(1)家长和教师对构成身体攻击行为的看法往往相似;(2)与身体攻击行为相比,两组都认为言语攻击行为更容易被接受;(3)民族文化和一个人以前接触暴力的程度显著影响对教师攻击性行为的接受程度。除了理论上的进展,从实际角度来看,本研究提供的数据可作为制定教师培训计划以及审查与教师暴力相关的学校或政府政策的依据。
