Abstract
An attitude survey based on a review of psychological literature on discipline was constructed and administered to public school teachers. Differences in teachers' agreement with the psychologists' statements by level taught and years of experience were analyzed by a 2 × 2 multivariate analysis of variance. No main effects or interactions were observed. Elementary teachers with the least teaching experience registered strongest agreements with the psychologists, while secondary teachers with the most experience expressed the least agreement. Greatest disagreement between teachers and psychologists was found on statements regarding punishment as a means of classroom management. Implications for teachers' education were discussed.
