Impact of Parental Punishment on Students' Behavior in School

Abstract

    Despite numerous studies on parental punishment, there is a deficiency of knowledge on how parental punishment can affect the students' behaviour in schools. The present study was conducted to explore the relationship between Parental Punishment on Students' Behavior in School. The sample of 400 students (200 male and 200 female) was conveniently selected from private and public secondary schools of tehsil Sargodha. A self-developed questionnaire consisting of demographic information and a subscale of emotional,psychological and physical punishment was used. Data were analysed by applying descriptive statistics.Findings revealed that the majority of secondary level students were receiving moderate and severe level parental punishment; male students received more parental punishment than female students. The majority of students receiving parental punishment showed bad and poor behaviour in school. It is recommended that parents should not punish their children, and this practice may be discouraged by guiding parents in parent's teacher meetings.
