Studies on parental intelligence and personality characteristics of battering parents are often contradictory. This research is part of a large project on child abuse and neglect in Athens aiming at identifying abusing families and studying the characteristics of parents, children, siblings, as well as welfare and legal issues. Thirty-three battering parents (17 mothers and 16 fathers) and 33 matched controls were investigated with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). The mean age of fathers was 39.9 and of mothers 29.1 years. They belonged primarily to the low socioeconomic class. No difference was found in the I.Q.s of battering fathers compared to controls while battering mothers' general, verbal and performance I.Q.s were significantly lower than those of the control group as well as of battering fathers' I.Q.s. Battering mothers were found significantly more shy, restrained, timid and threat-sensitive (Factor H of the 16 PF), and undisciplined, self-conflicted, following own urges (Factor Q3 of the 16 PF) than the control mothers. Factor H also was found to differentiate significantly between battering and control fathers but in the opposite direction than that of mothers. The above results are discussed and interpreted within the context of Greek cultural characteristics and intercultural comparisons.
关于殴打孩子的父母的智力及人格特征的研究结果常常相互矛盾。本研究是雅典一项关于虐待和忽视儿童的大型项目的一部分，旨在识别施虐家庭，并研究父母、孩子、兄弟姐妹的特征，以及福利和法律问题。我们使用韦克斯勒成人智力量表和卡特尔16种人格因素问卷（16PF）对33名殴打孩子的父母（17名母亲和16名父亲）和33名匹配的对照组进行了调查。父亲的平均年龄为39.9岁，母亲为29.1岁。他们主要属于社会经济地位较低的阶层。与对照组相比，殴打孩子的父亲的智商没有差异，而殴打孩子的母亲的总体、言语和操作智商显著低于对照组以及殴打孩子的父亲的智商。与对照母亲相比，殴打孩子的母亲被发现明显更害羞、克制、胆小且对威胁敏感（16PF中的H因素），且无纪律、自我冲突、随心所欲（16PF中的Q3因素）。研究还发现，H因素在殴打孩子的父亲和对照父亲之间也有显著差异，但与母亲的情况相反。上述结果将在希腊文化特征和跨文化比较的背景下进行讨论和解释。
