Michael,
I have already questioned the premise of your statement and others have asked
you essentially, Is this your opinion or have you read somewhere that this is
something that is actually happening. I think what other are telling you, is
that until you answer that very simple question.
One does not answer a question by posing another question.It is one thing to
ask what one means by major and minor psychological theories but postulating
they do not exist is a cognitive cop-out.

Thanks for the info Mike. I wonder though if our students really can relate to
spanking. Be interesting to survey our classes, but I would think faculty
might relate, but not as many of our students. I will ask. Gary

I've found it interesting that every year since I began teaching at the
college level (in 1993), when I ask how many of my Human Development and
Child Psychology students were ever spanked, the numbers become smaller.
In 1993 when I would ask that question, maybe one or two out of a class of

In my culture and psych class I use an activity on spanking centered around a
short magazine piece on use of spanking by Black parents. See

What an interesting article, Jim. It agrees with developmental findings
that I've read about African-American attitudes toward parenting, but
honestly, I've hesitated to discuss this in class. I have very few black
students, and worry that if I interjected this, it could be oversimplified

I tend to keep the discussion pretty focused on the empirical questions implied
by the paper (are Black kids less likely than White kids to throw temper
tantrums, do Black parents use spanking more, are kids who are spanked [black
or white] less likely to throw temper tantrums) and on what
