Psychological violence against children |
Secondary abstract: |
The topic of my thesis is a study of how parents and primary school teachers perceive and identify psychological abuse of children. Psychological abuse is an especially sensitive area because children do not perceive interpersonal relations and activities in their environment in the same way as adults. Children also do not possess the physical or psychological power required to withstand or defend themselves against different forms of violence, abuse and harassment. Children who are the victims of psychological abuse are often withdrawn, quiet, introvert or, quite the opposite, become aggressive themselves, especially towards their peers.
In the theoretical part of my thesis I define psychological abuse, outline the forms of such behaviour in the family and at school, and describe the consequences of psychological abuse, including legislative. The empirical part contains data analysis of the perception of psychological abuse, collected with a questionnaire that was completed by 76 parents and teachers of primary school pupils. The results show that both parents and teachers are aware of psychological abuse of children but are not able to identify all its forms. Most of the parents and teachers who took part in the survey consider bullying as the most severe form of psychological abuse. Most teachers believe that children are most often psychologically abused by their parents. Because psychological abuse of children is a part of our everyday lives, I strongly believe we should not ignore it no matter what. A teacher-to-be myself, I was unpleasantly surprised of the results of my study which show that only a quarter of all the respondents would take action and file a report if they found out that a child was a victim of psychological abuse. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V diplomskem delu raziskujem, kako razumejo in prepoznavajo psihično nasilje nad otroki starši in učiteljice razredne stopnje.
Psihično nasilje nad otroki je posebej občutljivo področje, saj otroci medčloveških odnosov in dogajanja v okolici ne dojemajo enako kot odrasli ljudje. Prav tako otroci nimajo ne fizične in psihične moči, s katero bi se lahko uprli ali branili pred takšnimi in drugačnimi nasilnimi dejanji. Otroci, ki so žrtev psihičnega nasilja, so pogosto zadržani, tihi, se »zaprejo« vase ali pa gre njihovo vedenje v drugo smer in tudi sami postanejo nasilni, kar se kaže zlasti v njihovem odnosu do vrstnikov.
V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela opredelim psihično nasilje, prikažem oblike takega nasilja v družini in šoli, spregovorim o posledicah psihičnega nasilja in kako je urejena zakonodaja na tem področju. Empirični del zajema analizo podatkov o razumevanju psihičnega nasilja, ki sem jih pridobila s pomočjo vprašalnikov, na katere je odgovarjalo 76 staršev učencev razredne stopnje in njihove učiteljice. Ugotavljam, da se starši in učitelji zavedajo prisotnosti psihičnega nasilja nad otroki, vendar ne prepoznavajo vseh oblik tega nasilja. Največ sodelujočih staršev in učiteljev smatra kot najhujšo obliko psihičnega nasilja ustrahovanje. Večina učiteljic meni, da so starši tisti, ki najpogosteje čustveno prizadenejo otroka.
Ker je psihično nasilje nad otroki prisotno v vsakdanjem življenju menim, da si pred tem dejstvom ne bi smeli zatiskati oči. Kot bodoča učiteljica sem začudena nad odgovori, ki kažejo, da bi le četrtina vseh sodelujočih v raziskavi ukrepala - podala prijavo, če bi izvedeli oziroma ugotovili, da je nek otrok žrtev psihičnega nasilja. |
