Corporal punishment and the mediating effects of parental acceptance-rejection and gender on empathy in a southern rural population
Article Abstract:
A study conducted among college students aimed to determine if harsh and unjust corporal punishment predicted empathy, and also whether parental acceptance-rejection and gender mediated the effect of corporal punishment on empathy. Findings revealed gender differences in that women reported significantly greater empathy than men, and justness of corporal punishment related positively to empathy for men but not for women, but harshness of corporal punishment and parental acceptance-rejection did not relate to empathy regardless of gender.
