“…Younger parents in the present study, specifically parents aged under 35, were more likely to adopt physical punishment as a discipline response with their children and this is consistent with other research findings (Ghate et al, 2003;Grogan-Kaylor and Otis, 2007). One explanation for this may be that increased incidence of the use of physical punishment by younger mothers may be confounded with their lack of experience with children (Culp et al, 1999). Younger parents are more likely to have younger children and the patterns of effects may, therefore, be influenced more by child age than parent age.…”

Study overview Families represent the primary setting in which most children's lives are shaped and determined. Central to the process of the socialisation of children are the parenting behaviours and discipline responses which children experience within family settings. Within these family contexts, children gradually internalise social standards and expectations, which facilitate, in turn, greater selfregulation skills and responsibility. Knowledge of the range of disciplinary tactics used by parents and of parental beliefs and attitudes to discipline strategies is, therefore, essential in order to promote and support effective and constructive parental discipline responses with children and young people. The present study sought to investigate the parenting styles and parental use of disciplinary strategies with children in Ireland, with a particular focus on attitudes to and uses of physical punishment. A further aim of the research was to identify parental attitudes to the legislative position in relation to physical punishment and children. The study adopted a telephone survey methodology, involving interviews with 1,353 women and men, with at least one child younger than 18 years of age, living in private households. Specifically, the following questions were addressed: What parenting goals and expectations for their children do parents in Ireland have today? ■ ■ What are parents' perspectives on Irish society as a context for parenting and what pressures ■ ■ do parents experience? What parenting styles and discipline strategies do parents use? To what extent do parents use ■ ■ physical punishment as a method of discipline? Under what circumstances do parents employ certain approaches to discipline? ■ ■ What are parents' attitudes towards physical punishment? ■ ■ Are parents aware of the current legislative position on physical punishment? ■ ■ What are parents' perspectives on potential legislative change? ■ ■ How do child-rearing goals, parenting styles and approaches to discipline and attitudes ■ ■ towards physical punishment vary according to the age, gender and social class of parents and children? ■ ■ 1 Parents' Perspectives on Parenting Styles and Disciplining Children 2 parenting styles and discipline strategies adopted by parents with their children, including ■ ■ a focus on physical punishment; attitudes to and awareness of legislation on physical punishment of children in Ireland. ■ ■ Standardised measures of temperament, child behaviour and parenting style were adapted for use in the present study. key findings general views on parenting Most parents expressed the view that parenting had changed substantially when compared with ■ ■ parenting 20 years ago.

“…Parents are more likely to use corporal punishment if the child's behavior is aggressive or is a threat to their own or others' safety (e.g., Catron & Masters, 1993;Culp, Culp, Dengler, & Maisano, 1999;Flynn, 1998;Grusec & Kuczynski, 1980;Holden et al, 1995;Peterson, Ewigman, & Vandiver, 1994;Socolar & Stein, 1995;. Children themselves view corporal punishment as more justifiable as a response to misbehaviors involving harm to self or others than to simple disobedience (Catron & Masters, 1993;Siegal & Cowen, 1984).…”

“…Younger parents are both more likely to use corporal punishment than older parents and to use it more frequently (Culp et al, 1999;Day et al, 1998;Giles-Sims et al, 1995;Gunnoe & Mariner, 1997;Kelley et al, 1993;Straus & Stewart, 1999;Wissow, 2001;Xu et al, 2000). The increased incidence for younger mothers may be confounded with their lack of experience with children; over 90% of a sample of low-income adolescent mothers of toddlers reported that they had used corporal punishment for age-appropriate child behaviors, such as the child "wanting to eat other than at mealtime" or the child "not learning quickly enough" (Culp et al, 1999). Future research is needed to explicate this relation.…”

Although the merits of parents using corporal punishment to discipline children have been argued for decades, a thorough understanding of whether and how corporal punishment affects children has not been reached. Toward this end, the author first presents the results of meta-analyses of the association between parental corporal punishment and 11 child behaviors and experiences. Parental corporal punishment was associated with all child constructs, including higher levels of immediate compliance and aggression and lower levels of moral internalization and mental health. The author then presents a process-context model to explain how parental corporal punishment might cause particular child outcomes and considers alternative explanations. The article concludes by identifying 7 major remaining issues for future research.Corporal punishment has been an integral part of how parents discipline their children throughout the history of the United States (Greven, 1991) and has been a focus of psychological research for

“…Dalis tėvų naudoja fi zines bausmes, nes nežino kitokių drausminimo būdų, nežino, kaip kontroliuoti vaiką, nustatyti jo elgesio ribas nenaudojant prievartos (Tamošiūnienė, 1999;Civinskas ir kt., 2006). Sunkus vaiko temperamentas, raidos sutrikimai arba kitos jau esančios elgesio problemos gali nulemti tai, kad tėvai griebiasi fi zinių bausmių ugdydami tokius vaikus (Culp et al, 1999;Mathoney et al, 2000). Tyrimo metu respondentai nurodė, kad vaikystėje jie dažniausiai buvo baudžiami už neklusnumą, atsikalbinėjimą, melą.…”

Suaugusieji turi daug vaiko negatyvaus elgesio korekcijos priemonių. Jie gali vaikui kantriai paaiškinti, kodėl jo veiksmai yra netinkami ir kokio elgesio tikisi iš savo vaiko arba be komentarų taikyti įvairias bausmes. Aptarsime tik ﬁ zines bausmes, nes nėra vieningos mokslininkų nuomonės apie tokių priemonių pasekmes vaiko asmenybės raidai, o suaugusieji jas ypač dažnai taiko vaiko elgesio korekcijai.Tyrimo tikslas — suaugusiųjų požiūrio į ﬁ zines bausmes, kaip į pedagoginę elgesio korekcijos priemonę, tyrimas. Ištirta 100 respondentų imtis (50 vyrų ir 50 moterų), sudaryta patogiuoju būdu. Tyrimui atlikti sudarėme anketą, rem-damiesi viešosios nuomonės ir rinkos tyrimo centro „VILMORUS“ gyventojų apklausos metodika, vaikų patiriamam smurtui tirti (1999). Tyrimo medžiaga analizuota taikant matematinės statistikos metodus. Gautų rezultatų skirtumo patikimumas buvo apskaičiuojamas pagal chi kvadrato (χ²) kriterijų, kuris naudojamas hipotezėms apie kintamojo skirstinį populiacijoje tikrinti. Pasirinktas patikimumo lygmuo α = 0,05. Rezultatų skirtumas laikytas reikšmingu, kai p < 0,05. Išsiaiškinta, kad ﬁ zines bausmes naudoja daugumas tėvų (atitinkamai 52% vyrų ir 78% moterų) (p < 0,05). Moterys reikšmingai dažniau nei vyrai yra patys patyrę ﬁ zinę bausmę vaikystėje. Pastaruoju metu pastebima tendencija, kad ﬁ zinė bausmė vaikams, kaip elgesio korekcijos priemonė, pasirenkama rečiau. Respondentus tėvai vaikystėje dažniau-siai bausdavo už neklusnumą atsikalbinėjimą, dingimą iš namų, melą. Pagrindinės priežastys, dėl kurių respondentai baudžia savo vaikus, — atsikalbinėjimas, neklusnumas, melas, blogi pažymiai, prasta tėvų nuotaika. Beveik pusė respondentų (58% vyrų ir 48% moterų) mano, kad ﬁ zinės bausmės padeda tapti geresniu žmogumi. Nuomonei, kad ﬁ zinės bausmės yra būtina auklėjimo priemonė, prieštarauja 52% vyrų ir 22% moterų. Tačiau tik trečdalis respondentų (30% vyrų ir 28% moterų) mano, kad ﬁ zines bausmes reikia uždrausti įstatymu.
