Spanking by Parents and Subsequent Antisocial Behavior of Children.
Straus, Murray A.; And Others
Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, v151 p761-67 Aug 1997
Used data from interviews with a national sample of 807 mothers of children ages six through nine to examine causal relationship between corporal punishment and antisocial behavior (ASB). Found that corporal punishment used to reduce ASB had an opposite, long-term effect. The more spanking at the start of the study, the higher the level of ASB two years later. (HTH)
