Corporal punishment is a disciplining method children experience which is a problem since multiple studies found that it causes negative long-term effects (i.e. behavioral problems, psychological problems, etc.) According to Save the Children UK (2005), 85% of the children surveyed in the Philippines experienced corporal punishment at home. Although other research shows the prevalent use of corporal punishment in the country, there isn’t much literature exploring the negative effects in the Philippine context. Thus, this study explored if corporal punishment has negative effects on parent-child relationships in adulthood by conducting a survey among college students in the Philippines. The study adopted two sets of questionnaires, (1)Parent Adult-Child Relationship Questionnaire, and (2) ADULT Physical Punishment Questionnaire (ADULT PPQ). The finding reveals that the majority of the students surveyed experienced corporal punishment as a child (58.8% were punished by mothers and 57.8% were punished by fathers). Furthermore, the survey showed that the participants still have a relationship with their parents in adulthood. The study concluded that the different categories of corporal punishment negatively affected the specific factors in the parent-child relationship. The evidence provided by the study encourages parents, guardians, and people with authority over children, to stop the use of corporal punishment as a disciplining method since there are other alternative disciplining methods that can be used due to the abundant research stating the negative effects of corporal punishment.
