Corporal Punishment by Mothers and Development of Children's Cognitive Ability: A Longitudinal Study of Two Nationally Representative Age Cohorts Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma 18,5 (2009): 459-483 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Routledge ==> Taylor & Francis (1998) Keyword(s): Body Parts Recognition; Discipline; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Memory for Location; Motor and Social Development (MSD); Parenting Skills/Styles; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Punishment, Corporal This study tested the hypothesis that the use of corporal punishment (CP), such as slapping a child's hand or “spanking,” is associated with restricted development of cognitive ability. Cognitive ability was measured at the start of the study and 4 years later for 806 children age 2-4 and 704 children age 5-9 in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth. The analyses controlled for 10 parenting and demographic variables. Children of mothers in both cohorts who used little or no CP at Time 1 gained cognitive ability faster than children who were not spanked. The more CP experienced, the more they fell behind children who were not spanked. |
