Is it true that Corporal punishment of children increases aggression and mental health problems later in life rather than improving obedience?
Unclear. Multiple reviews and longitudinal studies associate corporal punishment with later aggression and mental health problems, but most are correlational and none settles whether it fails to improve obedience; the meta-analysis even reports higher immediate compliance.
