This study explored the perceptions of the seriousness of specific components of neglect held by mothers from three cultural groups and held by public child welfare workers in two different roles in the Chicago area. It then compared the perceptions of the mothers to those of the workers. The findings suggest that members of minority groups perceive some types of child neglect as more serious than do their Caucasian counterparts, that investigative workers see most types of child neglect as more serious than do service workers, and that workers see all types of child neglect as less serious than do the mothers. Comparisons revealed that various groups perceive the dimensions of neglect differently in terms of their potential harm to the child.
本研究探讨了来自三个文化群体的母亲以及芝加哥地区两种不同角色的公共儿童福利工作者对忽视特定构成要素严重性的看法。然后将母亲的看法与工作者的看法进行了比较。研究结果表明，少数群体成员认为某些类型的儿童忽视比白人同龄人更严重，调查工作者认为大多数类型的儿童忽视比服务工作者更严重，并且工作者认为所有类型的儿童忽视都不如母亲们认为的严重。比较结果显示，不同群体在忽视对儿童的潜在危害方面对忽视的维度有不同的看法。
