dc.description.abstractThis article summarizes the current state of knowledge about both the intended and unintended effects of corporal punishment on children. This knowledge base is built upon hundreds of research studies in the fields of psychology, medicine, sociology, social work, and education, each detailing the potential effects corporal punishment may have on children. It also relies heavily on the results of two empirical research syntheses, known as meta-analyses, which have summarized the research linking corporal punishment to specific child outcomes by statistically combining existing data to discern the average strength of the findings.
