I must be pretty stupid, then. soilent brad Send a noteboard - 28/09/2009 05:49:26 PM
Previous research had also found that parents who spank are more likely to be younger, less educated, single, and/or depressed and stressed, Berlin's study said. Spanking is most commonly used among parents who were spanked themselves, who live in the South, and/or who identify themselves as conservative Christians. These parents also tend to believe in the effectiveness of spanking or believe the child is at fault in a given situation, the study said.

Okay, my parents were in their 30s when they had me, both went had post secondary education, they were together, not depressed or stressed, not from the South (granted, Alberta is referred to as the Texas of Canada), and definitely not conservative Christians. So... all wrong there :P

Others say parents should not resort to spanking at any age. Susan Newman, social psychologist and author of "Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day," said parents should discourage bad behaviors by taking away privileges such as dessert, or setting an earlier bedtime. They should also reinforce good behaviors verbally, saying how nice it is when their children share, for example.

Right... In my experience of going shopping with my niece and nephew and coming across the younger mothers who use those forms of discipline, those forms of discipline don't really work.

Negative memories aren't all bad. Parents just need to be consistent, yet loving. *NM* Zalis - 26/09/2009 02:06:07 PM 366 Views

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it. LadyLorraine - 26/09/2009 03:25:54 PM 795 Views
What are your grounds for that belief? jh - 26/09/2009 04:11:37 PM 803 Views

I agree with her, and here's why Brian - 26/09/2009 06:28:53 PM 759 Views
You are apparently pretty ignorant about psychology if you think it is pseudo-science. everynametaken - 27/09/2009 01:09:02 AM 751 Views
Bah. It's not falsifiable. jh - 27/09/2009 01:09:37 PM 845 Views

More likely their comparing two effects and claiming correlation Isaac - 27/09/2009 02:32:42 PM 731 Views
Clearly that's why all of our old people are so stupid. Craig - 26/09/2009 04:09:52 PM 760 Views

Larzelere is not the study organizer, though, but someone critical of it. Legolas - 26/09/2009 07:04:52 PM 754 Views
