| dc.description.abstract | Los psicólogos evolucionistas afirman que los padrastros perpetran sustancialmente más abuso físico infantil que los padres genéticos, y que lo hacen porque están menos interesados en niños genéticamente no relacionados. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar estas afirmaciones investigando si, y por qué, los padres de una muestra colombiana abusaron físicamente de sus hijastros más que de sus hijos genéticos. Padres ( N= 86) y sus parejas residentes en Bogotá fueron entrevistados por Klevens et al. La mitad de los padres habían sido denunciados a las autoridades por abuso físico infantil, la otra mitad eran controles emparejados. Se realizó un análisis secundario de los datos de Klevens et al. Las hipótesis de los relatos evolutivos y ecológicos del maltrato infantil se probaron mediante regresión logística y ordinal. Tanto la prevalencia como la frecuencia del abuso físico por parte de los padrastros fueron considerablemente mayores que las de los padres genéticos. Varios indicadores de adversidad, incluida la juventud de los padres y la experiencia de abuso, el estrés crónico de los padres y la mala comunicación de las madres con el niño, se asociaron tanto con el abuso como con el padrastro o madrastra. Los modelos que incluían estas variables indicaron que representaban gran parte de las tasas más altas de abuso de los padrastros. | spa |
| dc.description.abstractenglish | Evolutionary psychologists claim that stepparents perpetrate substantially more child physical abuse than genetic parents, and that they do so because they are less invested in genetically unrelated children. The objective of this study was to examine these claims by investigating whether, and why, fathers in a Colombian sample physically abused their stepchildren more than their genetic children. Fathers (N = 86) and their partners living in Bogotá were interviewed by Klevens et al. Half of the fathers had been reported to authorities for child physical abuse, the other half were matched controls. Secondary analysis was conducted of Klevens et al.’s data. Hypotheses from the evolutionary and ecological accounts of child maltreatment were tested using logistic and ordinal regression. Both the prevalence and the frequency of physical abuse by stepfathers were considerably greater than those of genetic fathers. Several indicators of adversity—including parental youth and experience of abuse, fathers’ chronic stress, and mothers’ poor communication with the child—were associated with both abuse and stepparenthood. Models including these variables indicated that they accounted for much of the stepfathers’ higher rates of abuse. Consistent with the ecological account, much of the stepfathers’ greater prevalence and frequency of abuse in this sample is likely to have resulted from confounding variables, rather than from the step relationship per se. | eng |
