摘要

This study examined the association between students' experiences of violent discipline by their teachers and their attitudes towards such behaviour. A total of 914 students (female = 50.5%, MAge = 12.60 years, MedianAge = 13.00 years, SDAge = 1.427) were randomly selected from 12 public primary schools across 12 districts in Tanzania. Descriptive results showed that over 95% of the students reported having experienced violent discipline from their teachers in recent months. Additionally, 84% (n = 745) of the students approved such practices by their teachers. A significant relationship was observed between students’ self-reported exposure to violent discipline and their positive attitudes towards it (R2 = .115, β = 0.339, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.277, 0.401). The findings offer a starting point for changing attitudes towards violent discipline, which could help disrupt the cycle of violence in societies where such behaviour is socially accepted and widespread.
