Introduction

When raising a child discipline becomesa major factor between parents with each

individual each individual parent, discipline

methods vary. For decades across this nation,

when one refers to discipline, they are

referring to spanking or some form of 

corporal punishment. This project looked at

various opinions of Tuskegee University

Students’ opinions and attitudes towards

spanking.

Hypothesis

In conducting this survey, I hope to find

out some very interesting things from my

findings. I predict that there will be a higher

percentage of participation amongst Freshman

and Sophomore students than any other

classification at Tuskegee University. I also

predict that Freshman and Sophomore students

will agree more with spanking and corporal

punishment than any other classification. I also

predict that there will be more students who

were in trouble with the police.

Within my findings, I just looked at the Freshman andSophomore classifications within this question.

Surprising, both classifications within the same age

group (Under 21) responded that they would use

spanking or corporal punishment under any

circumstances. Freshman students reported 86.7% for

“yes” and 13.3% for “no” and Sophomore students

reported 87.5% for “yes” and 12.5% for “no”.

Based on the data above, Tuskegee UniversityStudents’ attitudes about varies not only by classification

but also by the proposed question. One interesting fact

that caught my eye was the Sophomore classification.

This classification reported the lowest percentage (78%)

that agreed with spanking as an acceptable form of 

discipline and had the highest percentage (22%) that

disagreed with spanking as an acceptable form of 

discipline.

The recorded data showed me that aof Freshman and Sophomore students ag

more with spanking and corporal punishm

than any other student classification acr

campus. Second, it also showed me that a

of Freshman and Sophomore students also

in trouble with the authorities – which was v

surprising to me. Moreover, looking at the d

from a controlled point of view, these sa

Freshman and Sophomore students contin

to produce some high percentage markingfavor of spanking and corporal punishment.
