Abstract

This study explored measures to promote the reporting of child abuse, instances of which are increasing year after year. To this end, 16 cases of child abuse, encompassing four instances of each of the four types of child abuse (physical, neglect, sexual, and emotional), were presented to participants to examine whether the perception of each type of abuse affected the degree of its perception as a case of child abuse. Next, the effects of the four types of child abuse on the intention to report child abuse (low vs. high) were investigated in terms of gender (male vs. female) and the construal level. The results revealed that the participants' differed in the intent to report child abuse, depending on varied factors despite the fact that they perceived all cases as child abuse. In particular, no difference was found between men and women in their intent to report child abuse for cases of physical abuse and neglect. However, women exhibited a stronger intent than men to report sexual and emotional abuse. Further, the intention of reporting child abuse was stronger at the high construal level (related to why child abuse must be reported) than it was at the low construal level (concerned with what to do about child abuse). The practical implications of this study include the provision of educational content, the creation of publicity materials that place differing emphases on sex, and the application of low construal level education for reporting child abuse.

본 연구는 매년 발생 건수가 증가하고 있는 아동학대 신고를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 탐색하기 위해 이루어졌다. 이를 위해 아동학대 네 가지 유형별(신체 vs. 방임 vs. 성 vs. 정서)로 4개 씩 총 16개의 아동학대 사례를 구성한 후, 각 유형별로 아동학대라고 지각하는 수준이 다른지를 확인하였다. 이어서 아동학대 유형별(신체 vs. 방임 vs. 성 vs. 정서), 성별(남 vs. 여), 그리고 아동학대 신고에 대한 해석수준(저 수준 vs. 고 수준)이 아동학대 신고의도에 미치는 효과도 검증해 보았다. 결과적으로 참가자들은 아동학대의 모든 유형을 아동학대라고 지각하였음에도 불구하고, 아동학대 신고의도에서는 요인별로 차이를 보였다. 구체적으로 신체적 학대와 방임에 대한 아동학대 신고의도는 남녀간 차이가 없었지만, 성적 학대와 정서적 학대에서는 여성의 신고의도가 남성의 신고의도보다 강했다. 또한 아동학대 신고를 왜 해야 하는지와 관련된 고수준 해석을 할 때보다 아동학대를 어떻게 해야 하는지와 관련된 저수준 해석을 할 때가 아동학대 신고의도가 강했다. 본 연구는 성별에 따라 강조점이 다른 아동학대 교육 콘텐츠 및 홍보물 제작, 아동학대 신고에 대한 저수준 해석을 적용한 교육에 시사점을 준다.
