社会调查：独生子女更幸福
http://www.sina.com.cn 2010年11月16日 16:40 环球时报A UK study has claimed that only-children are more contented thanthose with siblings because they do not have to fight for their parents'attention。
Thirty-one percent of children said they were hit, kicked or pushedby a sibling "quite a lot" or "a lot." Almost a third of teenagers saidthey were called "nasty names" and 18 percent said their belongings hadbeen taken by a brother or sister. In all, 54 percent of siblings saidthey had been involved in some form of bullying。
Figures from a study tracking the lives of 100,000 people in 40,000British homes suggest only-children could be happier because theyreceive all the attention from their parents and do not have to fightfor praise or assistance。
The conclusion was supported by Hollywood actress Natalie Portman:"I would never have been an actress if I weren't an only child becausemy parents would never have let me be the star of the family at theexpense of another child."
University of Warwick professor Dieter Wolke said: "from anecdotalreports, quarreling siblings increase stress for parents, and some justgive up intervening or intervene inconsistently, leaving the field wideopen for the bully sibling."
澳大利亚《每日电讯报》14日报道称，英国一项研究发现，比起家有兄弟姐妹的孩子，独生子女的生活更加幸福，因为后者不必为争得父母的宠爱而明争暗斗。
研究报告中，31%的孩子称受到兄弟姐妹拳打脚踢推推搡搡的次数“较多”甚至“非常多”。而几乎三分之一的青少年反应自己常被兄弟姐妹冠以“恶意绰号”，其中有18%的孩子报告称哥哥姐姐会夺己所爱。总体来说，54%的“为姐为哥”者承认自己曾“恃强凌弱”。
该研究跟踪调查了来自4万个英国家庭的10万人口，调查结果表明，独生子女可能更为幸福，因为他们能够从父母处获得更多的注意力，且不必为得到表扬、获得鼓励而明争暗斗。
好莱坞女星娜塔莉-波特曼拥护该结论道：“如果我不是独生子女，我就永远不会成为一个女演员。因为父母不可能为了让我成为一个明星，而牺牲掉另外一个孩子的前途。”
英国华威大学教授迪特尔-沃克说道：“从一些有趣的报告中我们发现，兄弟姐妹吵成一团会让父母头痛不已，一些家长于是放弃‘调停’，或者减少‘调停’的次数，致使大欺小的现象屡屡发生。”
