Brothers and sisters fight, but when the
bickering
evolves into physical or emotional abuse, it’s bullying. Ordinary arguments over toys and who gets the front seat are one thing, but a recent study from researchers at the University of New Hampshire reports that aggression between siblings can escalate into bullying, and that young victims can be harmed in the same way as those who are threatened by peers on the playground.
In fact, the study authors say, being bullied by a brother or sister was linked to worse mental-health outcomes for kids and adolescents, similar to those associated with being bullied by unrelated kids in the schoolyard.
The new study, published in the journal Pediatrics, involved thousands of children and adolescents throughout the U.S. and found that those who were physically assaulted, had their toys stolen or broken or endured emotional abuse that made them feel frightened or unwanted by their sibling had higher levels of depression, anger and anxiety than those without these experiences.
In order to study any differences between the effects of sibling bullying and those of being threatened by an unrelated bully, the researchers compared the effects of aggressive behaviors, such as physical violence, breaking or taking toys or belongings, and abuse, like name-calling or mocking, originating from siblings with those coming from children’s unrelated peers. They concluded that as far as mental-health effects are concerned, the relationship that the victims had with their bullies didn’t seem to matter. The findings showed that sibling bullying had the same association with increased anxiety, depression and trauma as peer aggression.
That’s an eye-opening result since most parents—not to mention the public—have a higher tolerance for fighting and even threatening behavior among siblings than they do for other social relationships. Sibling fighting is often dismissed, seen as something that’s normal or harmless. Some parents even think it’s beneficial, as training for dealing with conflict and aggression in other relationships.
But when does that normal quarreling evolve into something more? Parents may unknowingly play a role in escalating some sibling fighting into abuse, John V. Caffaro, a clinical psychologist and co-author of Sibling Abuse Trauma, told the New York Times. If parents allow children to continuously fight and confront each other in aggressive ways without intervening, or if they play favorites and label children as "the smart one" or the "the quiet one," that may lead to more unhealthy competitiveness between siblings that develops into abuse. Caffaro said that since violence between siblings is one of the most common types of familial violence, aggression with the intent to physical hurt or humiliate a brother or sister should be taken seriously, and quashed.
It can be learned that some parents actually ________.
选项
A、are more tolerant than the public for sibling fighting
B、regard bullying in the family as something harmful
C、think that bullying can help their children in a way
D、are fond of playing favorites and labeling children
答案
C
解析
通读全文可以发现parents“家长”的观点在第五段。该段第三句提到,有些家长认为小孩争吵是有益的,可以训练孩子处理矛盾的能力。C项的help是文中beneficial的同义改写,故C项为答案。A项与公众观点有关,公众观点在第五段第一句提到,not to mention the public“更不用提一般大众了”,说明公众对此的容忍度更高,A项说法正好与文章相反。B项“认为家庭内部的欺凌是有害的”并非家长的观点,而是研究者的观点。D项在第六段第三句提到,if they play favorites and label children…“如果父母区别对待小孩或者给他们贴上标签”。就可能会在小孩之间导致更多不健康的竞争,但文章中没有说家长喜欢这么做(be fond of),故排除D项。
