Why Spanking Isn’t a Good Idea

Thesis Spanking children is not a good way to modify their behavior because: It is not as effective as other methods It has some undesirable consequences

“But I Turned Out Fine” Individual cases are not compelling evidence Lack of a control condition Probabilistic reasoning

Spanking as Punishment Spanking is a form of punishment: a consequence which decreases a behavior Desired behaviors can’t be taught through punishment New behaviors can be taught through shaping

Timing The consequence must occur right after the behavior If the punishment is delayed, then the current behavior (whatever it may be) is being punished, not the target behavior

Add Something Remove Something Increase Behavior Decrease positive reinforcement negative punishment

Alternatives to Spanking Negative punishment (paired with positive reinforcement) Premack Principle Negative reinforcement for desired behavior Extinction of undesirable behavior (and avoid partial reinforcement )

Alternatives to Spanking Social Learning Theory Learning through observation Modeling of desired behaviors Vicarious reinforcement

Undesirable Consequences Learned helplessness Classical conditioning Pain paired with spanker Elicits CR to spanker in future

Research Shows… Increased use of corporal punishment predicts: Increased aggressive behaviors Increased aggressive behaviors in adulthood Decreased empathy Increased probability of mental health issues: Anxiety Depression Substance Abuse
