dc.description.abstractThis study examined the role of past corporal punishment experiences in moderating current attitudes towards corporal punishment among 399 university students. Support was found for the intergenerational transmission of attitudes towards corporal punishment: experiencing past corporal punishment as a child and viewing one's parent's use of corporal punishment as justified were related to greater acceptance of corporal punishment. Participant demographics were also relevant: males and Asian students (versus females and other ethnic groups) were more accepting of corporal punishment. Students who are parents and students who worked with children were less accepting of corporal punishment than those who had no such experience.
