Mothers' and Children's Conceptualizations of Corporal Punishment.
Catron, Thomas F.; Masters, John C.
Child Development, v64 n6 p1815-28 Dec 1993
A total of 23 preschool and 23 fifth-grade children and their mothers judged the acceptability of corporal punishment as a function of the type of transgression and discipline agent. Preschoolers showed broad acceptability for severe corporal punishment for any type of transgression and by any agent, whereas fifth graders were generally discriminating about the limits of punishability.
