Corporal Punishment and the Growth Trajectory of Children's Antisocial Behavior Child Maltreatment 10,3 (August 2005): 283-292 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavior, Antisocial; Behavioral Problems; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Modeling; Parenting Skills/Styles; Punishment, Corporal Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Despite considerable research, the relationship between corporal punishment and antisocial behavior is unclear. This analysis examined (a) the functional form of this relationship, (b) the correlation of initial antisocial behavior and changes in antisocial behavior, (c) differences in the relationship of corporal punishment and antisocial behavior by race, and (d) whether this relationship could be accounted for by unmeasured characteristics of children and their families. Data from 6,912 children in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were analyzed using hierarchical linear models. Findings suggested that corporal punishment has a relationship with children's initial antisocial behavior and with changes in antisocial behavior. No evidence was found for differences in the effect of corporal punishment across racial groups. The relationship between corporal punishment and antisocial behavior persists even when accounting for unmeasured time invariant characteristics of children and families. The findings suggest that corporal punishment is not a preferable technique for disciplining children. |

OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship of corporal punishment with children's behavior problems while accounting for neighborhood context and while using stronger statistical methods than previous literature in this area, and to examine whether different levels of corporal punishment have different effects in different neighborhood contexts. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING: General community. PARTICIPANTS: 1943 mother-child pairs from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Internalizing and externalizing behavior problem scales of the Behavior Problems Index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Parental use of corporal punishment was associated with a 0.71 increase (P<.05) in children's externalizing behavior problems even when several parenting behaviors, neighborhood quality, and all time-invariant variables were accounted for. The association of corporal punishment and children's externalizing behavior problems was not dependent on neighborhood context. The research found no discernible relationship between corporal punishment and internalizing behavior problems. |

The Effect of Corporal Punishment on Antisocial Behavior in Children Social Work Research 28,3 (September 2004): 153-163. Also: http://search.epnet.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=cookie,ip,url,uid&db=aph&an=14315449 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavior, Antisocial; Behavioral Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Ethnic Differences; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Modeling, Fixed Effects; Parenting Skills/Styles; Punishment, Corporal; Racial Differences; Variables, Independent - Covariate Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study was conducted to examine the effect of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior of children using stronger statistical controls than earlier literature in this area; to examine whether the effect of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior is nonlinear; and to investigate whether the effects of corporal punishment on antisocial behavior differ across racial and ethnic groups. The author used a nonexperimental design and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The analysis was conducted using fixed-effects methods to control for observed independent variables and unobserved time-invariant variables. Corporal punishment had a nontrivial effect on children's antisocial behavior in later years despite the strong controls introduced by the fixed-effects models. The analysis provides no evidence for differences in the effect of corporal punishment across racial and ethnic groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

The Predictors of Parental Use of Corporal Punishment Family Relations 56,1 (January 2007): 80-91. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4541649 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Neighborhood Effects; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parenting Skills/Styles; Punishment, Corporal Corporal punishment has been the focus of considerable study over the past decade. Some recent research suggesting that the use of corporal punishment may have significant long-term negative effects on children has prompted increasing exploration and interest in the issue. We used tobit regression analysis and data from the 2000 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine both the prevalence and the chronicity of spanking in a nationally representative sample of parents. Mother's characteristics (e.g., age, education) and neighborhood context did not show a relationship with parental use of corporal punishment. Among parents who used corporal punishment, being Protestant had a relatively large relationship with its use. Although children's externalizing behaviors had some association with parent's propensity to spank, findings suggest that use of corporal punishment may be better understood as part of a constellation of behaviors relating to a parenting style. Further, findings indicate that it is easier to predict the incidence of corporal punishment than to predict its frequency of use. |

Simultaneous Factor Analysis of the Behavior Problem Index across Racial Groups Presented: Washington, DC, Society for Social Work and Research Meetings, 2003 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavior, Antisocial; Children, Adjustment Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Children, Mental Health; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Depression (see also CESD); Drug Use; Ethnic Differences; Hispanics; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Racial Differences; Scale Construction Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. While researchers and practitioners often use symptom checklists of behavioral and emotional problems, such as the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and its abbreviated version, the Behavior Problem Checklist (BPI) to measure and understand mental health problems in children, less research has been done to assess whether the underlying theory and assumptions of such checklists are equally understood and valid across major U.S. racial groups. Methods The purpose of this study is to test whether the same factor model of the BPI (Baker & Mott, 1989) holds across groups of 477 Black, 324 Hispanic, and 890 Caucasian children. The study uses data from the 1998 Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). We use multi-group confirmatory factor analysis to examine the equivalence of the BPI and its six subscales (antisocial, anxious/depressed, dependent, headstrong, hyperactive, and peer problems). Results Our findings indicated differences between racial groups. The 'critical ratios of differences' among all pairs of free parameters were examined to test for significant group differences with respect to any single parameter. Statistically significant differences were found between Hispanics & African Americans and Caucasians & African Americans on the Anxious/Depressed factor; Hispanics & African Americans and Caucasians & African Americans on the Antisocial factor; Caucasians & African Americans on the Dependent factor; and Hispanics & African Americans on the Peer Problems factor. Discussion The stability of the factor structure of the BPI across racial groups has implications for the culturally competent assessment of children's mental health problems. Accurate assessments for racial minorities are important because it may lead to early identification and treatment, potentially altering the trajectory of children who might otherwise engage in problem behaviors (i.e., drug use, delinquency, school problems, and risky sexual behavior) or find their way into our child welfare, special education, and juvenile justice systems. |

The Equivalence of the Behavior Problem Index Across U.S. Ethnic Groups Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 36, 5 (September 2005): 573-589 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Ethnic Differences; Hispanics; Racial Differences; Scale Construction Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this study, the authors examine the equivalence of the factor structure of a commonly used symptom checklist of behavioral and emotional problems -- the Behavior Problem Index (BPI) -- across African American, Hispanic, and White children in the United States. The sample is drawn from the 1998 data file of the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a U.S. data set. The results of the study suggest that the BPI is not equivalent across the three ethnic groups. These findings are consistent when equivalence is tested for a one-factor model, a two-factor model using the internalizing and externalizing dimensions of the BPI, and a six-factor model using the subscales of the BPI. Item-level analyses identify the statistically significant items that are associated with nonequivalence across ethnic groups. The implications of nonequivalent measures for cross-cultural research and practice with families and children are discussed. |
