This article tries to identify people's degree of acceptance of parental corporal punishment (CP) of children and the nature of the association of different variables, particularly the value variables with such acceptance. For this purpose, the study uses data from the World Values Survey 6 (2010-2014), which is a large survey of attitudes based on representative samples from 60 different countries (around 1,200 respondents from each). This study tested five hypotheses and two subhypotheses on individuals' acceptance of parental CP: effects of emancipative values (aspiration to autonomy and freedom), nonmasculine values, religiousness, people's dissatisfaction with life in general, and more specifically, dissatisfaction with financial and health conditions and national bans on CP. The findings show that the higher level presence of emancipative values and nonmasculine values are associated with lower support for CP. The study also finds that a number of sociodemographic variables affect the endorsement of CP; on the one hand, people with higher age and lower social classes (subjective) tend to express less support for CP, whereas on the other, people with no partners (divorced/separated/widowed/single) and men tend to express higher support for the use of parental CP. The identification of these associations can help us to develop more effective policies to address the problem of CP.
本文试图确定人们对父母体罚（CP）孩子的接受程度以及不同变量之间的关联性质，特别是与这种接受程度相关的价值观变量。为此，本研究使用了世界价值观调查 6 期（2010-2014 年）的数据，该调查是一项基于来自 60 个不同国家的代表性样本的大型态度调查（每个国家约有 1200 名受访者）。本研究测试了五个假设和两个关于个人对父母 CP 接受程度的子假设：解放价值观（渴望自主和自由）、非男性化价值观、宗教信仰、人们对生活总体的不满，以及更具体地说，对财务和健康状况以及国家禁止 CP 的不满。研究结果表明，解放价值观和非男性化价值观的高水平存在与对 CP 的支持程度较低有关。该研究还发现，一些社会人口学变量影响对 CP 的支持；一方面，年龄较高和社会阶层较低（主观）的人往往对 CP 的支持程度较低，而另一方面，没有伴侣（离婚/分居/丧偶/单身）的人和男性往往对父母 CP 的使用表示更高的支持。这些关联的识别可以帮助我们制定更有效的政策来解决 CP 问题。
