I've put off paying attention to this but it's obviously too big to ignore. With that said, uhm...yeah that's child abuse. Clearly child abuse. I am stating the obvious, right? Or is this something that's being debated?

OU Fans are lining up to defend him. It's pretty sickening.

Now, this is the part where I point out that study after study after study has proven that corporal punishment—even a light spanking—does not work. At all. Corporal punishment makes kids sullen, violent, and angry. I know this because I have dabbled in corporal punishment with my own children, particularly my oldest kid.

That's funny because I can say the exact opposite. As a younger child the fear of a spanking was the only thing that worked.

I'm not violent and the only reason I'm sullen and angry is Chiefs...

That part wasn't at all compelling. He talked about study after study, but finished the paragraph with anecdotal evidence.

And who's to say his anecdote is better than yours?

But the anger and contempt one must feel for their children during an act of corporal punishment is disturbing, which I very much agree with.

The funny thing is that the article is DEAD WRONG. The thing about corporal punishment, the entire reason so many people do it is precicely because IT WORKS (in the short term anyway).

No one would do it if it didn't work, so his entire premise that it 'doesn't work' is utter rubbish.

The studies I have read suggest that it 'works' but that the side effects can be bad/worse than the original behavior...or that parents can run the risk of being abusive etc....

No one would do corporal punishment if it didn't cease the unwanted behavior in the short term. His analysis of this topic is deeply flawed.

Of course it works in the short-term. It's no wonder kids will comply because they don't want someone (whom they deeply love, mind you) significantly larger than them to beat the shit out of them again.

Anyways, short-term solution is the only positive you can point to, and this 88 study meta-analysis can elaborate. You might want to pass it on to your former child development professor and classmates.

Quote:

large-scale meta-analysis of 88 studies, psychologist Elizabeth Thompson Gershoff, PhD, of the National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University, looked at both positive and negative behaviors in children that were associated with corporal punishment.

While conducting the meta-analysis, which included 62 years of collected data, Gershoff looked for associations between parental use of corporal punishment and 11 child behaviors and experiences, including several in childhood (immediate compliance, moral internalization, quality of relationship with parent, and physical abuse from that parent), three in both childhood and adulthood (mental health, aggression, and criminal or antisocial behavior) and one in adulthood alone (abuse of own children or spouse).

Gershoff found "strong associations" between corporal punishment and all eleven child behaviors and experiences. Ten of the associations were negative such as with increased child aggression and antisocial behavior. The single desirable association was between corporal punishment and increased immediate compliance on the part of the child.

The meta-analyses have confirmed a strong association between
parental corporal punishment and parental physical abuse of these
same children, confirming fears of many researchers that corporal
punishment and physical abuse are closely linked. Currently in the
United States, approximately 13 out of every 1,000 children under
the age of 18 have experienced some form of abuse or neglect,
21% of whom have suffered physical abuse (U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, 2001).

While the nature of the analyses prohibits causally linking corporal punishment with the child behaviors, Gershoff also summarizes a large body of literature on parenting that suggests why corporal punishment may actually cause negative outcomes for children. For one, corporal punishment on its own does not teach children right from wrong. Secondly, although it makes children afraid to disobey when parents are present, when parents are not present to administer the punishment those same children will misbehave.

In commentary published along with the Gershoff study, George W. Holden, PhD, of the University of Texas at Austin, writes that Gershoff's findings "reflect the growing body of evidence indicating that corporal punishment does no good and may even cause harm." Holden submits that the psychological community should not be advocating spanking as a discipline tool for parents.
