Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to reveal the recognition of discipline and abuse in college students of the Faculty of Education of Japan and Korea. In Japan, we have collected 1233 valid responses between September 2013 and January 2014. In Korea, we have collected 1394 between October and December 2013.The findings are as follows: 1. More than 40 % of Japanese students and 80% of Korean students allowed punishment for discipline. 2. Out of the 23 actions, more than 70% of the students considered: only scolding (Japanese), and scolding and slapping on hands (Korean), as discipline. More than 90% of the students considered: 7 actions including giving burn marks (Japanese), and 5 including slapping faces (Korean), as abuse. 3. More than 30-40% students of both countries have experience of getting slapped by their parents during childhood. 4. Students who have taken lectures or have been exposed to topics related in child abuse most likely considered the 23 actions as abuse.
