International Variations in Harsh Child Discipline
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although the history of recognition of child abuse in Europe and North America extends over 40 years, recognition and data are lacking in other parts of the world. Cultural differences in child-rearing complicate cross-cultural studies of abuse.
OBJECTIVE: To ascertain rates of harsh and less-harsh parenting behavior in population-based samples.
