I can see how spanking a child that isn't old enough to understand why they're being spanked is a waste of time, and that spanking may not always be the best tool for the job. But, I guess i'm failing to see how this study comes to any conclusions, other than what it appears the researchers (and the story's author) wanted it to come to in the first place.

Apparently spanking makes children stupid.

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it.

You are apparently pretty ignorant about psychology if you think it is pseudo-science.

That's not what the study says. It says don't spank VERY young children

Larzelere is not the study organizer, though, but someone critical of it.
