Which disciplinary practices would our family call hurtful even if they are common?
The survey distinguishes forms of violent discipline and estimates their distribution across households, without treating prevalence as acceptability.
Who was studied?
Households in Bangladesh’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey.
Age / stage: Ages 1–14
Read with three questions
- What kinds of punishment were included in the household survey’s definition of violent discipline?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- Which disciplinary practices would our family call hurtful even if they are common?
