Which is a consequence of the physical punishment of children, such as spanking?
a. The psychologic impact is usually minimal.
b. The child's development of reasoning increases.
c. Children rarely become accustomed to spanking.
d. Misbehavior is likely to occur when parents are not present.
ANS: D
Through the use of physical punishment, children learn what they should not do. When parents are not around, it is more likely that children will misbehave because they have not learned to behave well for their own sake but rather out of fear of punishment. Spanking can cause severe physical and psychologic injury and interfere with effective parent–child interaction. The use of corporal punishment may interfere with the child's development of moral reasoning. Children do become accustomed to spanking, requiring more severe corporal punishment each time.
