B. Some Recent National and Minnesota Data

It is the belief of Murray Straus and Ron Pitzer, based on their
observations and "taking of the public pulse," that there has been:
1) a notable drop in the acceptance of spanking as a necessary or even
appropriate parental action, and
2) a probable decrease in the use of physical punishment by parents.

One indicator of this change is the surprising lack of resistance and
objection Straus and the "Positive Parenting" team have received to
this message in the past two to three years. We are aware of only a
little research to support or refute this contention.

Among that which does is the following:
Endorsement of Physical Punishment
(Proportion of respondents who agreed that "a good hard spanking is
sometimes necessary to discipline a child.") Year Straus
&
Mathur Gallup Goodhue

.....see the chart at....

As can be seen, these studies show a steady decline since 1986 in the
proportion of respondents who agree that "a good, hard spanking is
sometimes necessary to discipline a child."

As also can be seen, the Goodhue County MN data shows a considerably
lower proportion of spanking supporters than found in most studies to
this date. This may be because:
1) Minnesota parents tend to be less punitive toward their children
than are parents from other parts of the country. OR
2) There has been a reduction in spanking in recent years.

Probably both are true. The following data show that Minnesota parents
also report less actual use of spanking, slapping, and hitting than
have most studies. The first six columns show the proportion of
parents who reported spanking their children (in the past six months)
never, once, twice, 3-10 times, and 11-20 times-by age of child. The
last column shows averages from several national studies for selected
ages of children (for purposes of comparative perspective).
