New Research: Negative effects of spanking
Smacking children can affect schooling June 2, 2004 New Zealand Herald Physical punishment of children is associated with anti-social behaviour and poorer performance at school, according to a review of research by Otago University's Children's Issues Centre. The centre, commissioned by the Office of the Children's Commissioner, surveyed more than 300 international research articles. Lead researcher Professor Anne Smith said today the review found physical punishment had only limited success in making children compliant and the long-term effects were all negative. "The literature is quite consistent in supporting the conclusion that there is an association between the use of parental corporal punishment and the development of anti-social behaviour in children," she said in a statement. Effects of smacking included: - aggression, disruptive, delinquent and anti-social behaviour, violent offending, and low peer status; - poorer academic achievement including lower IQ, poorer performance on achievement tests, poorer adjustment to school, more attention deficit-like symptoms, and poorer self-esteem; - diminished quality of parent-child relationships, with children likely to be less securely attached to parents, and to feel fearful or hostile towards them; - increased depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and psychiatric disorders. Prof Smith said one of the problems highlighted by the review was the lack of agreement over when physical punishment stepped over the line and became abuse. In contrast the research suggested principles of effective discipline including: - parental warmth, involvement and affectionate relationships; - clear communication and messages to children, which are age-appropriate, about why their behaviour is acceptable or not; - providing fair, reasonable and clearly defined rules, boundaries and expectations for behaviour; - consistently following behaviours with appropriate consequences, rewards or mild non-physical punishments such as time-out. Children's Commissioner Cindy Kiro said the research had found that an authoritative and firm parenting style, accompanied by warmth and reasoning was associated with children's healthy social adjustment. "This is important research because it gives parents evidence-based information about the effects of physical punishment, as well as practical alternatives." Dr Kiro said a recent UNICEF report had shown New Zealand had the third highest rate of deaths from child maltreatment among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The full research findings will be released at a seminar on the use of physical punishment, organised by the Children's Issues Centre in Wellington on June 18-19. |

New Research: Negative effects of spanking
Chris,
This is another study that replicates the findings of what is now four decades of spanking research. The evidence continues to mount, and the results are consistent. Spanking is harmful! Spanking carries no evidence of long-term success, and in many instances, the success is limited even short-term. Time to stop spanking, I think! There is no shred of scientific evidence to support the practice, and sooner or later, this will be recognized.

New Research: Negative effects of spanking
I would like to look at the original research instead of snippets from a newspaper. What confounding factors have they controlled for? And more importantly, did they compare the non-cp alternatives under the same conditions? I wouldn't be surprised if, as with Straus & Mouradian (1998), the association with anti-sociable behavior is even stronger for non-cp alternatives.

New Research: Negative effects of spanking
It's not a new study, LaVonne. It's a review. The problem with it is the same problems that researchers have been pointing out for years - controlling for other confounding factors and comparing with non-cp alternatives under the same conditions. If spanking is so evil as you say, why can't you point to one study - JUST ONE - that show that the non-cp alternatives are any better?

I find an odd claim, given that you insist you have one...the same as I have.

Your problem, Droany the Phony, is that NON CP hasn't been disproven sufficiently to warrant discarding in favor of CP, and NON punitive methods even moreso.

New Research: Negative effects of spanking
Doan wrote: If spanking is so evil as you say, why can't you point to one study - JUST ONE - that show that the non-cp alternatives are any better? I have, Doan. I have provided reference after reference. You can repeat the same challenge over and over again, but that doesn't change reality. And no, I am not going to spend the next six to eight hours recreating the reference list. When studies show toddlers who experience CP to be less compliant than toddlers who experience minimal to no CP, this would say to any rational person that non-cp alternatives are preferable. When studies reveal increasing levels of CP to correlate positively with increasing levels of antisocial behavior, rational thought would allow one to conclude that non-cp alternatives are preferable. When studies of individuals involved in the juvenile justice system reveal strong correlation between cp and juvenile crime, logic would allow one to conclude that non-cp guidance and discipline is better. You want the references again. Go get them.

In contrast the research suggested principles of effective discipline including: - parental warmth, involvement and affectionate relationships; - clear communication and messages to children, which are age-appropriate, about why their behaviour is acceptable or not; - providing fair, reasonable and clearly defined rules, boundaries and expectations for behaviour; - consistently following behaviours with appropriate consequences, rewards or mild non-physical punishments such as time-out. Children's Commissioner Cindy Kiro said the research had found that an authoritative and firm parenting style, accompanied by warmth and reasoning was associated with children's healthy social adjustment. "This is important research because it gives parents evidence-based information about the effects of physical punishment, as well as practical alternatives." Dr Kiro said a recent UNICEF report had shown New Zealand had the third highest rate of deaths from child maltreatment among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The full research findings will be released at a seminar on the use of physical punishment, organised by the Children's Issues Centre in Wellington on June 18-19. |

Then why don't you. Such exists, despite your denial, and your crowing that you have such a study yourself. Still stupid as usually. The article said the research will be presented LATER! Do you have a problem with English again? ;-) Why wait, Doan? You are terribly interested in the research. Go track it down. LaVonne |
