Cet article examine l'étiologie de l'agression parentale envers les enfants, basée sur un échantillonnage aléatoire de families Torontoises. Plusieurs questions qui demeuraient sans réponses dans l'étude de l'abus des enfants sont clarifiées par l'analyse d'un échantillonnage aléatoire et par une perspective plus large des déterminants de la discipline des enfants. Ces questions sont tirées de trois théories sociologiques principales souvent citées dans la litérature sur l'abus des enfants ‐ l'argument sur le cycle de la violence, la théorie sociale‐situationnelle, et le modèle culturel. Les analyses factorielles et de régressions multiples démontrent qu'il existe des styles distincts de discipline; que différents groupes de variables causatives opèrent dans chaque style de discipline; et que différents facteurs influencent le style de discipline des mères et des pères. Les facteurs ayant rapport à la socialisation infantile des parents sont des causes déterminates particulièrement importantes à leurs choix de méthodes proactives d'instruction de discipline des enfants, tandis que les facteurs ayant rapport à la distribution des pouvoirs dans la famille, et dans la societe en generate, sont les causes les plus importantes de la selection de methodes de discipline reactives et violentes. This paper examines the etiology of parents' aggression towards their children in a random sample of Toronto families. Several outstanding issues in the study of child abuse are clarified by analysing a random sample and by viewing the problem in the larger context of the determinants of child discipline. These issues are derived from three main sociological theories of child abuse frequently cited in the literature ‐ the cycle of violence argument, social situational theory and the cultural model. Factor and multiple regression analyses demonstrate that distinct styles of discipline exist; different subsets of causal variables operate for each discipline style; and mothers' and fathers' discipline styles are affected by different factors. Factors related to parents' childhood socialization are particularly important determinants of whether they adopt a proactive, teaching style of child discipline, while factors related to the distribution of power in the family and in society at large are the most important causes of whether parents adopt a reactive, violent discipline style
