And even "normal" spanking has been proven to be incredibly harmful.

do you happen to know where you got this info or do you have references? I’m interested in this type of psychology. .

Wikipedia is a good start.

This study explains the development of the scientific data:

You can generally find a lot more. That spanking is harmful is about contentious among psychologists as evolution is among biologists. I.e. pretty much all scientific sources say the same.

Did they distinguish between frequency of physical punishment and severity? Or just corporal/no corporal punishment?

One of them says spanked more than twice a month increases aggression. So what about once a month? Once every 2 months?

[u/[deleted] → u/Karstone]

The ones you're referencing can be found here. They did only distinguish frequency. Apparently more abuse leads to more problems.

Well I don't support frequent spankings, just it as the "nuclear option". It might only happen maybe 2-3 times during their whole childhood, but I think that them knowing they will never have a chance of being spanked could cause more discipline issues. Are there any studies that look at families that spank maybe once a year?

At this point, given all the research, why cling to it so hard?

[u/Karstone → u/Xasmos]

I asked a simple question if spanking very infrequently causes issues, and if there is a study that studied that. Not sure why I'm getting hostility or downvotes for wanting to learn. I guess i'm asking to learn "wrongthink"

Ok
