Using a convenience sample of 271 teachers in 14 public and private secondary schools in a district in southwestern Nigeria, this article describes the associations between perception, use and support for abolition of corporal punishment. Results suggest that having children, more corporal punishment of own children and higher frequency of corporal punishment by colleagues were associated with frequent use of corporal punishment. Frequency of corporal punishment by colleagues accounted for the strongest variance in frequent use of corporal punishment. Lower corporal punishment of own children was associated with higher endorsement of abolition of corporal punishment from schools, whereas being male was associated with higher endorsement of abolition of corporal punishment from society. Teachers endorsed abolition of corporal punishment not only from schools but also from society. These findings highlight the \u201cbandwagon\u201d effect and teacher characteristics as potential risk factors for sustained perpetration and transmission of corporal punishment and draw attention to the need for intervention on alternative approaches to corporal punishment that could facilitate the abolition of corporal punishment from home and schools.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijop.12542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,19]],"date-time":"2018-10-19T11:19:08Z","timestamp":1539947948000},"page":"106-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Perception, use and abolition of corporal punishment among high school teachers in a district in southwestern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Sunday B.","family":"Fakunmoju","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Westfield State University Department of Social Work Westfield MA USA"},{"name":"Faculty of Humanities, Department of Social Work University of Johannesburg Auckland Park South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Corporal punishment\u2010related ocular injuries in Nigerian children","volume":"12","author":"Adegbehingbe O.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0971333615622896"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"Social foundations of thought and action","author":"Bandura A.","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260511432154"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2009.01341.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15700\/saje.v30n3a361"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(15)00060-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2580390"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0192513X08326331"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2015.03.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"246","DOI":"10.59566\/IJBS.2010.6246","article-title":"Anxiety disorder among secondary school children in an urban city in Nigeria","volume":"6","author":"Frank\u2010Briggs A.
