Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati stavove i znanja studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu o tjelesnom kažnjavanju djece. U svrhu toga ispitane su razlike u slaganju s uvjerenjima o opravdanosti i djelotvornosti tjelesnog kažnjavanja djece te uvjerenjima o ishodima tjelesnog kažnjavanja s obzirom na spol studenata. Ispitana je i povezanost između uvjerenja studenata o opravdanosti i djelotvornosti tjelesnog kažnjavanja i stavova osoba iz okoline prema tjelesnom kažnjavanju te upoznatost studenata s zakonskom zabranom kažnjavanja i mišljenje o uključivanju „treće osobe“ ako roditelj udari dijete. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku studenata (N=200) Sveučilišta u Zagrebu metodom web ankete.
Rezultati su pokazali da postoje statistički značajne razlike između slaganja s uvjerenjima o opravdanosti i djelotvornosti tjelesnog kažnjavanja, kao i uvjerenjima o ishodima tjelesnog kažnjavanja djece s obzirom na spol studenata. Pri tome studenti iskazuju veće slaganje s uvjerenjima o opravdanosti i djelotvornosti te povoljnim ishodima tjelesnog kažnjavanja nego studentice. Stoga proizlazi da studenti u većoj mjeri smatraju tjelesno kažnjavanje opravdanom i svrhovitom metodom, koja nauči dijete što ne smije raditi te da poštuje roditeljev autoritet. Nadalje, pokazalo se da postoji statistički značajna pozitivna povezanost između uvjerenja studenata o opravdanosti i djelotvornosti tjelesnog kažnjavanja i percipiranih stavova prema tjelesnom kažnjavanju kod njihove majke, oca, prijatelja/poznanika i liječnika, dok se za ostale osobe iz okoline studenata nije pokazala statistički značajna povezanost. Što se tiče učestalosti poznavanja zakonske zabrane tjelesnog kažnjavanja i mišljenja o uključivanju „treće osobe“, većina studenata (60,5%) je upoznata s postojanjem zakonske zabrane, dok polovica studenata (49,5%) smatra da se „treća osoba“ treba umiješati ako roditelj udari dijete.
Nalazi dobiveni ovim istraživanjem daju pregled stavova studenata prema tjelesnom kažnjavanju djece, što omogućuje procjenu učestalosti tolerantnih stavova studenata u svrhu utvrđivanja potrebe za edukacijom o učinkovitim odgojnim postupcima te podizanja svijesti o posljedicama tjelesnog kažnjavanja, budući da su tolerantni stavovi prema upotrebi tjelesnog kažnjavanja značajan činitelj rizika za takvo ponašanje.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and knowledge of Zagreb University students towards corporal punishment of children. For this purpose were examined the differences in opinions on feasibility and effectiveness of corporal punishment and beliefs about the outcomes of corporal punishment in relation to gender of students; the relationship between students' beliefs on justification and effectiveness of corporal punishment and attitudes of people from social environment towards corporal punishment and knowledge about the legal prohibition and opinion on the involvement of "third parties" if a parent hits a child.
The study was conducted on a sample of Zagreb University students (N=200) using web survey method.
The results showed that there are significant differences between the agreement with justification and effectiveness of corporal punishment, as well as beliefs about the outcomes of corporal punishment of children in relation to gender of students. Male students showed greater agreement with justification and effectiveness of corporal punishment and favorable beliefs about the outcomes of corporal punishment of children than female students. It therefore follows that students largely considered corporal punishment justified and purposeful method which teaches children what not to do, as well as to respect the authority of parents. Furthermore, it was shown that there is a statistically significant correlation between students' beliefs about the feasibility and effectiveness of corporal punishment and attitudes toward corporal punishment of their mothers, fathers, friends/relatives and doctors, whereas for other people from students' social environment there was no such statistically significant correlation. As for the awareness of the legal prohibition of corporal punishment and opinions on the inclusion of "third parties", the majority of students (60.5%) is aware of existence of a legal prohibition, while half of the students (49.5%) believe that a “third party” should intervene if parent hits a child.
Findings obtained in this study provide an overview of students' attitudes toward corporal punishment of children, which allows assessment of the frequency of such attitudes in order to determine the need for education about effective educational processes and raising awareness about the consequences of corporal punishment, since the tolerant attitudes towards the use of corporal punishment represent significant risk factor for such behavior.
