A new book of Murray straus, founder and co-director of the Family Research Laboratory and emeritus professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire, brings together more than four decades of research on so-called ass spanking. The conclusions of their studies are that this type of punishment slows down cognitive development, increases antisocial behavior and criminal behavior.
Straus has written The Primordial Violence ('The Primordial Violence') and in it he shows us the reasons why parents beat their loved ones. These reasons include more than just correcting misconduct. Provides evidence of the effect spanking has on children and what can be done to end this type of punishment.
The book has longitudinal data from more than 7000 families in the US as well as the results of a study in 32 countries. It shows us the degree to which ass spanking is used in different cultures as well as the subsequent effects of its use on children and society.
Straus says the following: Research shows spanking corrects bad behavior. But they also show that spanking does not work any better than other modes of correction, such as depriving a child of privileges. Furthermore, research clearly shows that Butt spanking benefits come at a great cost. They suppose the weakening of the bond between parents and children and the increase of the probability that the child will use violence against others (schoolmates, parents, other adults or partners). In addition, spanking the butt slows down mental development and reduces the chance that a child will complete school well. "
«More than 100 studies have detailed these side effects of ass spanking, with a degree of agreement of 90%. There is probably no other aspect of parenting and child behavior where the results are so consistent »He says.
The book advocates policy changes that would cause a total cessation of the spanking in the ass. You could use all kinds of advertising that warns that this type of punishment is very negative. This should be accompanied by policies to help parents who have problems with their children.
Straus has a Suggestion for celebrations like birthdays or Christmas: «If you are looking for a gift that increases the chances that your child will have a happy and healthy life and that includes more possibilities that they will find a good job and have a marriage free of violence, Make a commitment to your children never to hit them again. They are likely to increase their respect and love for you, and are sure to help you keep your promise. "
«More than 20 countries prohibit spanking in the ass. There is an emerging consensus that this is a fundamental human right for children. The United Nations is calling on all nations to prohibit this type of punishment. Avoiding them will not only reduce the risk of crime and mental health problems, but it will also bring children the right to be free from physical attack in the name of discipline. ' says Straus.
Widely regarded as the foremost researcher in his field, Straus has studied ass spanking in Large and representative samples of American parents since 1969. He has received numerous honors and awards for his research.
