Nonostante il tema delle punizioni fisiche che i genitori impartiscono ai loro figli sia da anni affrontato e discusso approfonditamente, molti aspetti restano ancora da chiarire e da definire. Uno di questi è rappresentato dall’influenza che la tradizione culturale esercita sulla scelta di specifici metodi educativi da parte dei genitori. L’articolo presenta una rassegna degli studi più recenti che hanno analizzato la complessa relazione tra punizioni fisiche e ruolo del contesto culturale.;
