Lies, damned lies and statistics or GIGO
Garbage in, garbage out.
As Doan amply and profusely pointed out, the Straus initial study was a STELLAR GROUP of TEENAGE, (PROBABLY AFDC receiving teenage Moms) I used the term AFDC to point out that the study was conducted prior to 1995, when TANF was implemented. When you do NOT SELECT a random, representative group of the US population, and base your sample on a skewed selection sample, your study is VIRTUALLY WORTHLESS. http://www.familyrightsassociation.com How does *regulation* of a family's behavior truly help the family? |

Which study is that, Fern? Straus has been publishing research for several decades. Please provide references for Straus' initial study. And how are you critiquing what you have determined to be his initial study? I used the term AFDC to point out that the study was conducted prior to 1995, when TANF was implemented. Oh goodness, Fern. Straus conducted and published so many studies prior to 1995 (when TANF was implemented) that it's tough to know which study you are regard as his "initial study." When you do NOT SELECT a random, representative group of the US population, and base your sample on a skewed selection sample, your study is VIRTUALLY WORTHLESS. This is not always true, Fern. This depends on sample size, null hypothesis, statistical methodology, and interpretation. Having said that, which study is Straus' "initial study?" Grin, LaVonne |

Does LaVonne want to debate the Straus et al (1997) or not? I have responded to her challenges. Let's see if she can respond to mine.

Did LaVonne read the admission by Straus himself of his "failure to perceive SERIOUS LIMITATION..."? Doan Grin, LaVonne |
