This study examined separate and combined maternal and paternal use of spanking with children at age 3 and children's subsequent aggressive behavior at age 5. The sample was derived from a birth cohort study and included families (n = 923) in which both parents lived with the child at age 3. In this sample, 44% of 3-year-olds were spanked 2 times or more in the past month by either parent or both parents. In separate analyses, being spanked more than twice in the prior month at age 3, by either mother or father, was associated with increased child aggression at 5 years. In combined analyses, there was a dose-response association; the greatest risk for child aggression was reported when both parents spanked more than twice in the prior month (adjusted odds ratio: 2.01; [confidence interval: 1.03-3.94]). Violence prevention initiatives should target and engage mothers and fathers in anticipatory guidance efforts aimed at increasing the use of effective and non-aggressive child discipline techniques and reducing the use of spanking.
本研究考察了父母单独及共同对3岁儿童使用打屁股体罚方式的情况，以及儿童随后在5岁时的攻击性行为。样本来自一项出生队列研究，包括父母在孩子3岁时均与孩子同住的家庭（n = 923）。在这个样本中，44%的3岁儿童在过去一个月里被父母一方或双方打屁股2次或更多次。在单独分析中，3岁时在前一个月被母亲或父亲打屁股超过两次，与孩子5岁时攻击性行为增加有关。在综合分析中，存在剂量反应关联；当父母双方在前一个月都打屁股超过两次时，报告的孩子攻击性行为风险最高（调整后的优势比：2.01；[置信区间：1.03 - 3.94]）。预防暴力倡议应针对父母双方，并让他们参与预期指导工作，旨在增加有效且非攻击性的儿童管教技巧的使用，并减少打屁股的使用。
