But the finding that spanking produced compliance was overly influenced by one study, Gershoff said; it turns out spanking doesnt make your kids better behaved. You think it does. ... It doesnt. What is spanking associated with? Aggression. Delinquency. Mental health problems. And something called hostile attribution bias, which causes children, essentially, to expect people to be mean to them. This bias makes the world feel especially hostile. In turn, children are on edge and ready to be hostile back. Over time, across cultures and ethnicities, the findings are consistent: Spanking is doing real, measurable damage to the brains of our children. For those thinking, I was spanked, and I turned out fine, or, I spank my kids and theyre great! consider that you dont know who you would be or how your children would behave in a world without spanking. cnn/2014/07/23/health/effects-spanking-brain/index.html
