- Summary:
-
Recent publicity about sexual abuse may be creating more negative attitudes toward normal physical affection. In a study designed to probe this possibility, 301 parents, nonparents, and early childhood professionals rated the extent of their approval of videotaped adult-child interactions. Before viewing the tape, half of the subjects read a statement about sexual abuse and the other half read about the benefits of touch. Within each group, half of the subjects were told that the videotaped adults were parents while the others thought the adults were day care providers. Analysis of approval scores for touch and no-touch scenes showed that: (1) when subjects were attuned to sexual abuse they were more likely to disapprove of affectionate touching and to favor non-physical interactions; (2) subjects approved physical affection more when it came from a parent rather than from a day care provider; (3) men tended to be less approving than women of physical affection between adults and children; and (4) early childhood professionals were especially approving of physical affection and their opinions were more resistant to manipulation than were other subjects' opinions.
