Documental research was undertaken with the purpose of reviewing scientific literature and obtaining data found in studies on normative Corporal Punishment (CP). Sample: 90 abstracts of studies undertaken in the last 13 years (1990 to 2002). These studies were selected from the PsycINFO database. Qualitative documental analysis was carried out on the contents of the results. The principal results encountered were: 1) high incidence of CP; 2) variation of opinions on the use of CP depending on a diversity of factors; 3) situational, socio-demographic, cultural and religious factors influence the use of CP; 4) normative CP has negative effect on ones children; 5) CP tends to be passed on from generation to generation; 6) CP represents a risk of mistreatment. The analysis of the data enabled the discussion of the use of CP as well as to draw the attention of the scientific community to the importance of studying this subject.
