What Do Parents Say About the Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting Program in Canada
Associations between spanking beliefs and reported spanking among adolescents-parent/caregiver dyads in a Canadian sample
Adolescents' spanking beliefs are related to their parents' spanking beliefs, suggesting that they are transmitted across generations. Public education and law reform are needed to decrease the normalization and perceived necessity of spanking in child-rearing. Efforts should include improving the understanding that spanking is a form of violence against children. With only a few significant differences noted between sociodemographic variables an…
Addressing punitive violence against children in Australia, Japan and the Philippines
Physical and emotional punishment of children is highly prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region. These actions predict a range of physical and emotional harms, prompting a worldwide effort to eliminate them. A key strategy in this effort is to change parental beliefs regarding the acceptability of physical and emotional punishment. The Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) program was designed to change those beliefs by teaching parents a…
Spanking and adult mental health impairment
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as child abuse are related to poor health outcomes. Spanking has indicated a similar association with health outcomes, but to date has not been considered an ACE. Physical and emotional abuse have been shown in previous research to correlate highly and may be similar in nature to spanking. To determine if spanking should be considered an ACE, this study aimed to examine 1): the grouping of spanking with p…
Researchers Deserve a Better Critique
This commentary addresses the critique by Larzelere, Gunnoe, Roberts, and Ferguson (2017: Marriage & Family Review, 53 , 24-35) ostensibly concerning the quality of research on "positive parenting" but actually critiquing physical punishment research. The critique revealed that the authors have a poor understanding of positive parenting. After explicating the different meanings of that term and describing what positive parenting is, we then addre…
Coping With the Stress of Being Bullied
The stress of being bullied has been associated with a wide range of negative consequences. In the present study, the authors hypothesized that the process of adapting to and coping with bullying would have a lingering effect on strategies used to cope with future stress. College-age participants ( N = 1,339) completed an online survey tapping into (a) their experiences as a victim of bullying during adolescence, (b) their typical strategies for …
Does Conservative Protestantism Moderate the Association Between Corporal Punishment and Child Outcomes
Using longitudinal data from a sample of 456 focal children in the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), this study examined two research questions: (a) Does corporal punishment of young children (ages 2–4 at baseline) predict increases in levels of externalizing and internalizing problems over a 5-year study period? (b) Does the religion of the mother—specifically, her conservative Protestant affiliation and conservative beliefs abo…
Meta-Parenting
Objective. This article introduces the construct of meta-parenting, provides preliminary reliability information for a new instrument designed to measure the construct, and presents results from an initial empirical investigation. Design. One hundred and sixteen U.S. mothers participated. Maternal, child, and contextual characteristics were investigated as likely predictors of meta-parenting. In addition, meta-parenting was examined as a predicto…
Children Exposed to Domestic Violence and Child Abuse
Relationship Between Multiple Forms of Childhood Maltreatment and Adult Mental Health in Community Respondents
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the prevalence of a history of various combinations of childhood maltreatment types (physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing of maternal battering) among adult members of a health maintenance organization (HMO) and explored the relationship with adult mental health of the combinations of types of childhood maltreatment and emotional abuse in the childhood family environment. METHOD: A total of 8,667 adult membe…
Perspectives on the effects of corporal punishment
Parental use of corporal punishment has been a contentious child-rearing topic for thousands of years. E. T. Gershoff's (2002) meta-analyses undoubtedly will rekindle the debate over whether parents should spank their children. The quality of the existing data is discussed as well as several surprising findings from the meta-analyses. The effects of corporal punishment are then considered from the perspectives of learning theory, socialization th…

The co-occurrence of spouse and physical child abuse
For more than 20 years, there have been periodic reports in the research literature about the co-occurrence of spouse abuse and physical child abuse. This review compiles and evaluates those reports. Forty-two studies were found that provided some data concerning co-occurrence; 31 of the studies included sufficient detail to be used in this review. The different types of studies are classified and methodological issues are discussed. The base rat…
Child Effects as a Source of Change in Maternal Attitudes Toward Corporal Punishment
It is commonly believed that parental attitudes toward child rearing are largely determined by the process of intergenerational transmission. Such a view neglects potential influences from the targets of child rearing-the children. In this study we examined bidirectional influences on mothers' attitudes toward corporal punishment by interviewing 108 mothers of 3-year-old children. Two-thirds of the mothers reported significant shifts in their att…
Linking Extreme Marital Discord, Child Rearing, and Child Behavior Problems
Parental attitudes toward child rearing
Describes historical use of surveys to assess parents' global child-rearing attitudes and reviews the structure and content of the 83 parent attitude questionnaires published from 1899 through 1986 designed to quantify variations in parental attitudes and, presumably, parental behavior. Inspection of the surveys' psychometric properties reveals marginally acceptable levels of reliability and questionable validity. One suspected source of problems…
