This commentary addresses the critique by Larzelere, Gunnoe, Roberts, and Ferguson (2017: , 24-35) ostensibly concerning the quality of research on "positive parenting" but actually critiquing physical punishment research. The critique revealed that the authors have a poor understanding of positive parenting. After explicating the different meanings of that term and describing what positive parenting is, we then address each of their four critiques of the physical punishment research. Each critique was flawed in multiple ways. After identifying their errors and correcting misinformation, we then raise broader issues about children's right not to be hit and how professional organizations are increasingly recognizing the need and calling for an end to all physical punishment of children.
这篇评论回应了拉泽勒尔、冈诺、罗伯茨和弗格森(2017年:第24 - 35页)的批评,表面上该批评涉及“积极育儿”的研究质量,但实际上是对体罚研究的批评。该批评表明,作者对积极育儿缺乏深刻理解。在阐述了该术语的不同含义并描述了积极育儿是什么之后,我们接着回应他们对体罚研究的四点批评。每点批评都在多个方面存在缺陷。在指出他们的错误并纠正错误信息之后,我们进而提出关于儿童不被打的权利以及专业组织如何日益认识到这种必要性并呼吁终止对儿童的一切体罚等更广泛的问题。
