[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another summary of the study:

http://news.utexas.edu/2016/04/25/risks-of-harm-from-spanking-confirmed-by-researchers

[quote]The more children are spanked, the more likely they are to defy their parents and to experience increased anti-social behavior, aggression, mental health problems and cognitive difficulties, according to a new meta-analysis of 50 years of research on spanking by experts at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan.[/quote]

It could be the other way around, of course.  Children with anti-social behavior, aggression, and mental health problems and cognitive difficulties were spanked more as children.

Aside from that, they did not say how they explained studies which showed no harm from spanking.  Those studies exist, but this meta-study didn't seem to include them.  [/quote]

It's also possible (likely) that adults who have mental/emotional health problems are more likely to both hit children and produce children with anti-social behavior, aggression, mental health problems and cognitive difficulties. [/quote]
