I agree with her, and here's why Brian Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 06:28:53 PM
When you do a study like this and focus on such a small segment of the population, low income and under two, it leads one to believe that researchers isolated that specific group knowing or at least suspecting what the results would be. If the study was say 2500 children ranging in ages (and incomes) from 0-10, then it would be more valid.

I would think most people would agree that spanking a 1 year old is not something that is going to be helpful.

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it. - 26/09/2009 03:25:54 PM 773 Views
What are your grounds for that belief? - 26/09/2009 04:11:37 PM 785 Views

I agree with her, and here's why - 26/09/2009 06:28:53 PM 738 Views
You are apparently pretty ignorant about psychology if you think it is pseudo-science. - 27/09/2009 01:09:02 AM 733 Views

More likely their comparing two effects and claiming correlation - 27/09/2009 02:32:42 PM 708 Views
Clearly that's why all of our old people are so stupid. - 26/09/2009 04:09:52 PM 743 Views
No, no, that's just nossy bringing down the average. *NM* - 26/09/2009 04:12:10 PM 357 Views
