	abstract = {<p>The present study examined the prevalence and country-level correlates of 11 responses to children\&$\#$39;s behavior, including nonviolent discipline, psychological aggression, and physical violence, as well as endorsement of the use of physical punishment, in 24 countries using data from 30,470 families with 2- to 4-year-old children that participated in UNICEF\&$\#$39;s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. The prevalence of each response varied widely across countries, as did the amount of variance accounted for by country in relation to each response. Country-level indicators of life expectancy, educational attainment, and economic well-being were related to several responses to children\&$\#$39;s behavior. Country-level factors are widely related to parents\&$\#$39; methods of teaching children good behavior and responding to misbehavior.</p>
