detection rate of corporal
punishment in
boys and non-
only child was significantly higher than that in
girls and
only child (P<0.05). The
students who experienced psychological
aggression and corporal
punishment before the age of 10 had higher
detection rates of
anxiety state and six subscales of
health risk behaviors than those

students anxiety state (OR=1.85,1.53,1.49,1.34). The
Logistic regression analysis showed that, psychological
aggression , place of residence were positively associated with college
students health -compromising
behaviors (OR=1.60,1.26). Psychological
aggression ,

students aggression and
violence behavior (OR=1.75,1.66,1.63,1.28). Corporal
punishment influenced college
students suicide and

Gender factors and corporal
