As the pro spanking compulsives say, when they claim there is no credible anti spanking reseach, "We Don Need No Steenkin' Research" then for our arguments for the use of corporal punishment. Dance, boys, dance. R R RR 0;-> http://www-personal.umich.edu/~agrogan/ CURRENT RESEARCH ANDREW GROGAN-KAYLOR Grogan-Kaylor, A. (2004). The Effect Of Corporal Punishment On Antisocial Behavior In Children. Social Work Research, 28(3), 153-164. Abstract-English Abstrait-Français Abstract-English Objective: This study had three aims: to examine the effect of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior of children using stronger statistical controls than the previous literature in this area; to examine whether the effect of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior is nonlinear; and to investigate whether or not the effects of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior differ across racial and ethnic groups. Method: The study used a non-experimental design and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The analysis was conducted using fixed effects methods to control for observed independent variables as well as all unobserved time invariant variables. Dummy variables were constructed for corporal punishment to allow for potential nonlinear effects. Interaction terms of corporal punishment and racial or ethnic group were constructed to test for the possibility of differing effects of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior across racial and ethnic groups. Results: Corporal punishment has a nontrivial effect on children's antisocial behavior in later years despite the strong controls introduced by the fixed effects models. Both lower and higher levels of corporal punishment appear to have this effect. The analysis provides no evidence for differences in the effect of corporal punishment across racial and ethnic groups. Conclusions: This study provides further and methodologically rigorous support for the growing literature that suggests that the use of corporal punishment is associated with an increase in children's antisocial behavior. Abstrait-Français Objectif : Cette étude avait trois objectifs : examiner l'effet de la punition corporelle sur le comportement antisocial des enfants en utilisant des contrôle statistiques plus fortes que la littérature précédente dans ce secteur; examiner si l'effet de la punition corporelle sur le comportement antisocial est non-linéaire ; et étudier si les effets de la punition corporelle sur le comportement antisocial diffèrent à travers les groupes raciaux et ethniques. Méthode : L'étude a employé une conception non-expérimentales de et information l'Evaluation Longitudinal National de la Jeunesse (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth). L'analyse a été conduite en utilisant des méthodes fixées d'effets pour maîtriser pour des variables indépendantes observées aussi bien que toutes les variables invariables de temps inobservées. Des variables factices ont été construites pour la punition corporelle pour permetre des effets non-linéaires potentiels. Des limites d'interaction de la punition corporelle et du groupe racial ou ethnique ont été construites pour déterminer la possibilité d'effets différents de punition corporelle sur le comportement antisocial à travers les groupes raciaux et ethniques. Résultats : La punition corporelle a un effet non trivial sur le comportement antisocial des enfants en années postérieures malgré des commandes fortes présentées par les modèles fixes d'effets. Des niveaux plus bas et plus élevés de punition corporelle semblent avoir cet effet. L'analyse ne fournit aucune évidence pour des différences dans l'effet de la punition corporelle à travers les groupes raciaux ou ethniques. Conclusions : Cette étude fournit appui supplementaire et méthodologiquement rigoureux au corps de la littérature croissant qui suggère que l'utilisation de la punition corporelle soit associée à une augmentation de comportement antisocial des enfants. Apparently there is some difficulty with a boundary, or line that is crossed between discipline and abuse. Why does no one ever ask, 0;-> The Question in the back of the minds of decent people...Where IS that line? http://alexiskennedy0.tripod.com/lab/id5.html ....... The use of spanking is the most important risk factor for physical abuse (Straus, 2001). Increased experience of corporal punishment as a child is correlated with an increased likelihood that corporal discipline will escalate into physical abuse (Straus, 2000). Murray Straus, the developer of the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) and a leading researcher on child maltreatment, has criticized the fact that researchers hoping to discover ways to end physical abuse routinely ignore this risk factor. With over 94% of parents engaging in this behaviour and reports that spanking is used multiple times per week, Straus argues that child maltreatment specialists are underestimating the prevalence and chronicity of corporal punishment. Even if the risk factor for corporal punishment is moderate, the prevalence of this risk factor (94%) means it can have a greater impact on public health than a high risk factor with low prevalence (Straus, 2001). The idea that corporal punishment is at the core of physical abuse is supported by Asian research that reveals that child abuse injuries are often the result of culturally acceptable discipline practices applied with excessive force (Samuda, 1988). Samudas (1988) survey of 100 university students in Hong Kong indicated that 95% of respondents reported that physical punishment was used in their homes, 46% reported that beating was used as the most severe form of punishment, and 35% remembered physical punishment as their most painful childhood physical experience. Research with the CTS in India has revealed widespread use of physical discipline with 41.9% of middle-class professional disclosing that they had used abusive levels of physical punishment (Segal, 1995). .......more at the link above.......... And what did they find for non-cp alternatives? My guess is they ignored them or suprised to find that the non-cp alternatives show the same correlation. 1) Talking to the child calmly 2) Sent the child to the room 3) Time-out 4) Removal of privileges All of these together "was found to have a much stronger relation than any of the other variables." Straus, Murray A. & Vera E. Mouradian. 1998 "Impulsive Corporal Punishment by Mothers and Antisocial Behavior and Impulsiveness of children." Behavioral Sciences and the Law. 16: 353-374.

Ok, smart guy (I'm being ironic, Doan, don't get too sweet on me because you think someone actually believes you intelligent). You wanted research. You overused that "deafening silence" thing (which is a vacuous and overly theatrical expression, the kind someone uses while trying to appear more intelligent than one really is). Now, there, you have research. Now, can you make something different than you've done up to now and provide us with some serious research (and I mean serious, not the kind "the bible says" or "thousands of us do it, so it can't be wrong") which favors spanling as a more effective method?. I've never seen you or any of your jolly friends do so. Fair is fair, huh?. But I know you won't. You're just the kind of guy which can't pull his head out of the toilet flush long enough to look around him, even less to listen to others. So long... >And what did they find for non-cp alternatives?

This paper outlines a conditional sequence model of optimal disciplinary responses and shows its consistency with a wide range of research. The model suggests that optimal disciplinary responses begin with less severe tactics, such as reasoning, but proceed to firmer disciplinary tactics when the initial tactic achieves neither compliance nor an acceptable compromise. The firmer tactics can be nonphysical punishment initially with nonabusive physical punishment reserved as a back-up for the nonphysical punishment. This is consistent with many studies showing that a combination of reasoning and punishment is more effective than either one alone and with new evidence that this sequence enhances the effectiveness of milder disciplinary tactics with preschoolers." Now that I have answered your question, can you answer mine? Can you show me a study in which your non-cp alternatives are better than spanking under the same conditions? Doan |
