Globally, 15% of adolescents give birth before turning 18, leading to considerable personal, social, and medical impacts on adolescents and to the general society.
This study aimed at exploring and comparing three psychological attributes (i.e., empathetic concern, feelings of responsibility, and attribution of blame) between parents and teachers for the phenomena.
672 teachers (54% females) and 690 parents (53% female) participated in the study.
The results indicated a significant mean difference between parents and teachers on empathy ( = 5.735, < 0.001), attribution of blame ( = 6.902, < 0.001), and feelings of responsibility ( = 1.727, p < 0.001). Except for attribution of blame, parents' mean scores of other variables were higher than that of teachers.
Teachers' higher attribution of blame to pregnant adolescents and lower empathetic concern raises a prominent concern over students' healthy environment at school.
Understanding social feelings about responsibilities over adolescents' general health is very essential, especially for fighting against the problem of early pregnancy.
在全球范围内，15%的青少年在18岁之前生育，这给青少年个人、社会以及整个社会带来了相当大的个人、社会和医学影响。
本研究旨在探讨和比较家长和教师对于这一现象的三种心理特质（即共情关注、责任感和责备归因）。
672名教师（54%为女性）和690名家长（53%为女性）参与了本研究。
结果表明，家长和教师在共情（=5.735，<0.001）、责备归因（=6.902，<0.001）和责任感（=1.727，p<0.001）方面存在显著的平均差异。除了责备归因外，家长在其他变量上的平均得分高于教师。
教师对怀孕青少年的责备归因较高且共情关注较低，这引发了对学生在校健康环境的突出担忧。
了解社会对青少年总体健康责任的感受非常重要，尤其是在应对早孕问题方面。
