Abstract
The goal of this study was to simultaneously examine the independent and interactive effects of paternal and maternal corporal punishment, and child temperament on child emotion regulation over time in China.

In addition, the effects of parental corporal punishment exhibited…

This report highlights participatory research with HIV/AIDS-affected children in Central China, illustrating a full spectrum of issues around changing notions of childhood and vulnerability. In particular this research demonstrates the significant – and growing – inequalities…
