| Abstract: | This study examines the relation between maternal physical discipline and victimization by peers, as moderated by child aggression.
The sample consisted of 211 Hong Kong Chinese children (98 boys, 113 girls; average age of 11.9). Physical discipline was
assessed with a questionnaire completed by mothers, and victimization by peers and aggression were measured using a peer nomination
inventory. Latent variable models revealed a moderately strong link between children’s experiences with maternal physical
discipline and peer victimization, but this effect held only for children who were also high on aggression. These results
highlight the interplay between harsh home environments and child aggression and their contributions to the child’s adjustment
in the peer group. |
