Abstract
This paper aims to test the effects of corporal punishment and psychological treatment on students' learning
and on their behavior. A pilot study, followed with experimental test, was framed in a demographically
controlled environment on homogeneous variables at Punjab University Laboratory School, Pakistanover
the period of six months. Thirty-two students of grade X were grouped into a Corporal Punishment Group
(CPG) and a Psychological Treatment Group (PTG). It was found that the students who were awarded
corporal punishment on creating a source of friction and showing lack of interest in their academic work
began to show negative behavior and their academic progress showed a gradual regression, whereas the
students who were managed with psychological treatment developed their interest in learning, reflected
friendly behavior and improved their long-term scholastic performance.
