Abstract
The researchers hypothesized that these aggressive comments could be the result of experiencing corporal punishment from their parents. This paper studies whether parent discipline predicts aggression across generations by utilizing causal-comparative research design. Based on the results, punishment (N=1045) was the most received parent discipline among the respondents (N=2600). Results also showed that females (Mdn=7.30) were more likely to receive punishment than males (Mdn=6.94). Furthermore, there is also a significant difference in the level of aggression between generations (p<0.001) with Generation Z having the highest level compared to Generation X and Y. Lastly, a multiple regression was run to predict Aggression from generation, sex, parent discipline, rate of punishment, frequency of punishment, parent discipline satisfaction, and agreeing to kill criminals. Stepwise analysis filtered the independent variables and included Frequency of Punishment, Satisfaction of Parent Discipline, and Generation.
