Why is much of the evidence about the effects of spanking considered to be controversial?


▸ Most of the studies are correlational, which does not allow for conclusive statements about cause and effect.

▸ Although there is a lot of anecdotal data regarding the risks of spanking, there are no studies with large sample sizes.

▸ Most of the studies have been conducted on children with pre-existing behaviour problems.

▸ Because most adults have experienced corporal punishment, it is next to impossible to find a sample for the control group.
