单项选择题

Pediatricians from a US university have taken a look at one measure of children’s well-being in Egypt, the Philippines and India, the extent to which children are subject to corporal punishment and abuse. The data revealed interesting cultural differences about what seems to be acceptable when it comes to physically disciplining children. Among the things we learned, for instance, was that in India, slapping a child in the face or head is more common than spanking them, the researchers say. And in Egypt, twenty-five percent of the mothers said that they had beaten their child up, which was defined as hitting them over and over again with a closed fist. And then the other interesting things were like the Philippines, the rate of telling people that evil spirits were going to get them, the kind of emotional, kind of threatening to lock them out of the home, was very high. However, despite the differences in punishment methods, some notable similarities have been found. For example, the education level of mothers impacted how often they resorted to physical discipline. The more years of education, the lower the rate of harsh physical punishment in kids.
