Predicting Mother's Use of Physical Punishment during Mother-Child Conflicts in Sweden and Canada.
Durrant, Joan E.; Broberg, Anders G.; Rose-Krasnor, Linda
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n86 p25-41 Win 1999
Used maternal beliefs, emotions, and experiences of Canadian and Swedish mothers to predict hypothetical physical punishment of preschoolers. Found that Canadians were more likely than Swedes to suggest physical punishment and demonstrate stronger support for spanking. Support for physical punishment and rating target misbehaviors as stable predicted Canadians' physical punishment use. None of the models predicted Swedes' physical punishment. (KB)
