Physical punishment across generations : factors associated with continuity and change in subsequent generationsRoetzel, Amy Cassandra 09 October 2012 (has links)
This study examined as risk and protective factors which may promote or deter physical punishment use across generations. This study used self-report information from parents (N = 211) who had a child between the ages of 2-6. Additionally, the participating parents were also asked if they would like to invite one of their parents (e.g., the grandparent) to participate. Grandparents (N = 65) completed the same questionnaires as their adult child, though grandparents were asked to reflect upon when they were parenting the adult child. Four risk factors promoting physical punishment were examined: childhood histories of physical punishment, favorable attitudes towards physical punishment, feeling of anger and stress. As expected, parents’ childhood physical punishment, high feeling of anger and stress were associated with parents using physical punishment techniques with their own children. This study also investigated the salience of such risk factors in promoting physical punishment to continue, above the influence of receiving physical punishment as a child. Parents’ current favorable attitudes towards physical punishment predicted their use of physical discipline with their children, even after controlling for childhood histories of being physically punished. When parents’ childhood experiences of physical punishment and feelings of anger were considered together, parents’ childhood experiences significantly predicted using physical punishment; feelings of anger were marginally related to physical punishment practices. Similar results were found when parents’ childhood experiences and feelings of stress were considered together. Additionally, four risk factors deterring physical punishment were examined: feelings of resentment about childhood experiences of physical punishment, effective anger regulation and stress coping techniques. Parents who were spanked frequently as a child, but had low feelings of resentment about being spanked were at greater risk of using physical punishment on their child, compared to parents who were spanked frequently, but had higher feelings of resentment. Parents’ abilities to regulate their feeling of anger and cope with stress were not associated with parents less use of physical punishment. Finally, grandparents’ and parents’ reports of physical punishment use were different, with parents using less physical punishment on their child than what they experienced as a child. / text

Teachers' perceptions on the non- implementation of the alternatives to corporal punishment policy : a case studyBillie, Sikelelwa khuthala January 2015 (has links)
This study aims to identify the perceptions that teachers have regarding the nonimplementation of the Alternatives to Corporal Punishment Policy (ATCP). Using a qualitative research approach, data was collected from teachers in a high school in Mdantsane that is still using corporal punishment. The main tools of data collection used were semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The findings from this study revealed a range of factors that influence teachers not to implement the alternatives to corporal punishment policy. These include: culture, religion, lack of parental involvement, violence in schools and lack of capacitation in teachers on the policy. Moreover the findings of this study revealed that if new policies are imposed on implementers there is bound to be resistance. This study therefore recommends that new policies need to be discussed and agreed upon by both the policy makers and policy implementers. The study also recommends that teachers need capacity building workshops so that they understand the need and the benefits of implementing the ATCP.

Experiences and attitudes of children towards corporal punishment.Ntshingila, Sylvia Ntombifuthi. January 2009 (has links)
The overall objective of the study is to explore with young people their attitudes and experiences of corporal punishment. The specific aims are: i) To explore children’s experiences of corporal punishment ii) To ascertain children’s attitudes towards corporal punishment iii) To explore alternatives that children suggest to corporal punishment as a form of discipline In this study I conducted in-depth interviews with eighteen early adolescents between ages of 10 to 15 year olds from a community in Imbali, KwaZulu Natal, and Pietermaritzburg. It was intentional to explicitly work with children from a similar black township of Zulu background. Hence the only representation I sought to address in this group was gender and the group was equally represented with 9 boys and 9 girls using a snowball sampling. The prominent findings of the study which confirm some of the previous studies of particularly Dawes et el (2004 and 2005); Maree and Cherian (2004); and De Wet (2009):
Mothers are the prominent disciplinarians in the home.
Adults use and support corporal punishment as tool to discipline.
Criminalising corporal punishment has not been effective.
Corporal punishment has worked as a temporary deterrent.
Children still think corporal punishment is the only way to prevent children from being spoiled this is despite the fact that they think of it as painful.
Boys tend to be more aggressive after the punishment.
Girls are more fearful prior to the punishment.
Children prefer being punished at home rather than at school.
Collective punishment by teachers in schools was seen as unfair.
Most preferred alternative to physical punishment was withholding of privileges like pocket money. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2009.

Acceptance and use of corporal punishment among parents of biologic and non-biologic children.Hall, Ellie Tiedeman 05 1900 (has links)
Objective: Differences between biologic and non-biologic parents' acceptance and use of ordinary corporal punishment and use of explaining/reasoning as a disciplinary tool are examined from a sociobiological theoretical perspective. Method: Cross tabulations are used on data from a national survey conducted by the Gallup Organization in 1995. Results: Contrary to predictions, differences between biologic and non-biologic parents' acceptance of ordinary corporal punishment and the use of explaining/reasoning are not statistically significant. In addition, biologic parents are found to use ordinary corporal punishment significantly more often than non-biologic parents. Conclusions: The sociobiological theoretical perspective likely underestimates the influence of culture and social structure on parent-child interactions.

Discipline and disciplinary measures used at selected secondary schools.Narain, Anil P. January 2006 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore various aspects of discipline in
secondary schools inter alia the views of educators to changes regarding the
behaviour of learners today as compared to the past, the banning of corporal
punishment in schools, commitment to provide support, and to elicit alternative
methods of maintaining discipline. The study was an exploratory one aiming to
bring the views of the educator to the fore in clinical research. It was also
undertaken to spur other research into this area.
The study was undertaken with educators from the town of Verulam in the north
coast of Kwazulu- Natal, South Africa. All secondary schools in the area were
targeted. This was a possibility sample as it was peculiar to the context and is
valid because it does have resemblance to reality. The sample reflected the
remnants of the old apartheid educational structures. Various types of schools
were included inclusive of ex -House of Delegates, ex-Department of Education,
private and religion-based schools. The sample had semblance of the general
educator population. Educators in nine of the secondary schools responded to a
questionnaire. The structured questionnaire had a quantitative and qualitative
bias. The response rate was 58.3 percent. A statistical package was used to
analyse the statistical aspects of the questionnaire.
The results of the study indicate that educators believed that the incidents and
severity of learner misbehaviour had increased rapidly post 1996. A significantly
large number also stated that their superiors (the Department of Education-DOE)
have left a void with the banning of corporal punishment by provldinq little or no
alternatives to discipline learners. Many respondents believed that their authority
was undermined and it affected discipline and hence the culture of teaching and
learning. Serious offenders were handed to management of schools.
Management in schools were viewed as supportative although there was a call for consistency in the application of the schools' Code of Conduct. Numerous
methods of disciplining were suggested with the most popular being getting the
parent involved and personal counselling. Sadly, the third popular measure
believed to be effective was the use of corporal punishment, albeit it was used
by a small percentage of respondents. There was no significant difference in
views between male and female respondents. Various extraneous factors
influencing poor behaviour were postulated. The learners' background, role of
the parent and peer pressure, were viewed as most important. School
contextual factors such as large classes and poor resources were also noted.
Recommendations for better discipline and disciplinary measures were
highlighted. The study called for a review of the Code of Conduct as required by
the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996, with the focus being immediacy and
relevance of sanctions and the more frequent use of the parent-component, of
the Schools' Governing Body, in discipline. A more pro-active stance on the part
of the DOE in assisting educators, in disciplinary measures, at grass-root level
was recommended. The study also recommended further research into discipline
and disciplinary measures at secondary schools. / Thesis (LL.M.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.
