Family aggressiveness factors in the prediction of corporal punishment: reciprocal effects and the impact of observer perspective

Article Abstract:

Parent and child factors of family aggressiveness predict severe corporal punishment. Child aggressiveness is a major predictor of parental use of corporal punishment, even when parent history of received corporal punishment is considered. The association between corporal punishment and family aggressiveness is in line with the reciprocal effects model. This model assumes that parents and children take active role in precipitating child maltreatment as a means of resolving conflicts. Predictability of aggressiveness variables depends on observer perspective.
