AUSTIN, Texas The more children are spanked, the more likely they are to defy their parents and to experience increased anti-social behavior, aggression, mental health problems and cognitive difficulties, according to a new meta-analysis of 50 years of research on spanking by experts at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan.
The study, published in this months Journal of Family Psychology, looks at five decades of research involving over 160,000 children. The researchers say it is the most complete analysis to date of the outcomes associated with spanking, and more specific to the effects of spanking alone than previous papers, which included other types of physical punishment in their analyses.
"But I was spanked and turned out fine" "Beating =/= spanking. They are probably confusing the two" "Spanking done right is done with love" "Hell, I was beaten, my childhood sucked, and I hate my father, but at least I learned how to be an adult" "Because science has never been wrong before" "Because scientists have never been paid off before" "Statistics don't truly reflect reality" "*farting noises*"
