Hypothesis
Socialization of children involving violence will be positively associated with frequent wifebeating (194)
Note
A general association was found with the gamma test. A closer look at the distribution of cases shows that infrequent wifebeating is associated with rare physical punishment, but frequent wifebeating is unassociated with the level of physical punishment.
