• Resumen

  • Castigo físico y consecuencias a largo plazo: el papel moderador del contexto parental positivo y la agresión psicológica. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron: (a) examinar la prevalencia del Castigo Físico (CF) en una muestra española; (b) analizar la medida en la que el CF es usado en combinación con agresión psicológica y en un contexto parental positivo; y (c) estudiar si la relación entre el CF y diferentes consecuencias negativas a largo plazo es moderada por el contexto parental en el que el CF es usado y por la coocurrencia de agresión psicológica. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 1.071 estudiantes universitarios españoles (74,8% mujeres). Los hallazgos mostraron una alta prevalencia del CF entre universitarios españoles, revelando también que es usado con mayor frecuencia por las madres que por los padres. Los análisis de regresión pusieron de manifi esto que el CF se asocia con una mayor probabilidad de personalidad y conducta antisocial independientemente de si es usado junto con agresión psicológica o en un contexto parental positivo. Estos resultados sugieren que, aunque muchos padres españoles lo emplean como una estrategia disciplinaria, el CF parece estar relacionado con consecuencias negativas a largo plazo con independencia del contexto en el que es usado.
