Do you think it is a good thing? It honestly did nothing to deter me from behaving badly and i think it only served to give the Vice Principal a rock hard boner and spank bank material.

The overwhelming majority of studies/evidence say corporal punishment (yes, even light spanking) has the opposite of the intended effect and 99.99% of the time you a) teach the kid to not get caught, b) teach the kid that force is an acceptable method to get others to comply, and c) they later won't remember what they were being punished for they'll just remember you hitting them building anger/resentment/sadbrains.

Queue tons of posts going 'I was spanked as a I kid and it never harmed me and by god I'll spank my kids and THIS is what is wrong with AMERICA today!!!'

I don't see how people get away with beating kids. It's essentially aggravated assault and battery with a weapon and in a lot of states with stand your ground laws children could legally kill people dishing out the punishment.

Schools are legally your guardian while you're there which lets them get away with a lot of stuff they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

spacetoaster posted:

Isn't that why we have cops, army people, guards, etc?

Force, or the threat of force, is the only method that works.

We're talking about school children. Maybe if we didn't teach them that beating people who do not do what you want is acceptable we wouldn't have so much crime and selfish assholery going on when they grow up?

I guess it is easier to just hit them into submission instead of teaching them why they shouldn't be doing what they are doing though.

But I don't think you're THAT against using force against stuff. Now children, yeah ok. But you, on this very forums, were bragging about writing bot programs to spam communications on websites you don't like.

Well this thread is about corporal punishment in schools so yeah we're talking about kids. Obv force is fine sometimes I'm not a bleeding heart liberal just because I don't agree with the resident right wing nutsos.

I'm just talking about in the context of raising kids or training animals, negative reinforcement has the opposite of the intended effect 99% of the time even if it is light negative reinforcement. That's not that controversial really.

As to your claim that negative reinforcement causes the opposite effect 99% of the time? Source?

Major findings were: (a) social acceptance (measured in terms of positive choices) was significantly correlated with frequency of giving positive reinforcement but not with frequency of giving negative reinforcement; (b) rejection (negative choices) was significantly correlated with giving negative reinforcement but not with giving positive reinforcement;

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000578940580111X posted:

A matching law reinforcement model of individual differences in social aggression was developed and tested. Ten hours of interaction were observed in each of ten aggressive and ten nonaggressive sons with their mothers. Consistent with the matching law, the relative probability of maternal termination of conflict (negative reinforcement) contingent on sons' tactics in dyadic conflict during an earlier time period was significantly correlated with the relative probability of the sons' choice of those tactics during a later time period. Comparable matching relationships were found between maternal choice of conflict tactics and sons' negative reinforcement of their mothers' tactics. Significant between-group differences were found in the relative probability with which mothers and sons negatively reinforced each other's aggressive conflict tactics.

http://www.apa.org/monitor/2012/04/spanking.aspx posted:

“It’s a very controversial area even though the research is extremely telling and very clear and consistent about the negative effects on children,” says Sandra Graham-Bermann, PhD, a psychology professor and principal investigator for the Child Violence and Trauma Laboratory at the University of Michigan. “People get frustrated and hit their kids. Maybe they don’t see there are other options.”

But spanking doesn’t work, says Alan Kazdin, PhD, a Yale University psychology professor and director of the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic. “You cannot punish out these behaviors that you do not want,” says Kazdin, who served as APA president in 2008. “There is no need for corporal punishment based on the research. We are not giving up an effective technique. We are saying this is a horrible thing that does not work.”

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201309/research-spanking-it-s-bad-all-kids posted:

Nevertheless, some studies have been done. In one set of analyses with young children in the laboratory, time outs worked just as well as spanking for (immediate) subsequent compliance on 30 tasks assigned by the mother. Long-term compliance is decreased after spanking (Gershoff, 2002; Gershoff & Grogan-Kaylor, 2013).

In terms of whether parental aggression (spanking) decreases aggression in the child, the answer is no. In fact, spanking tends to increase child aggression. “Spanking predicted increases in children’s aggression over and above initial levels [of aggressive behavior]” and “in none of these longitudinal studies did spanking predict reductions in children’s aggression over time” (p. 134). Instead, spanking predicted increases in children’s aggression.

Longitudinal studies show that spanking increases aggression in any child, no matter what their background or what the common practices of their community are (see Berlin et al., 2009; Gershoff et al., 2012).

Idk there's really just tons of data showing that negative reinforcement doesn't teach the kid anything other than don't get caught while causing all kinds of other psychological harm.

Animal training is the same way 95% of the time. Negative reinforcement just doesn't work.

So the spartans had it all wrong. Makes you think.

According to my kids my methods are the worst/most damaging. I send them to the hellscape known as "outside". And I take away their tablets which seem to be some kind of life support mechanism.

(and if I really want to be horrible I'll turn off the wifi)

See that's fine though I'm not trying to be like 'negative reinforcement is anything that makes them mad/sad/whatever.' The stuff I linked mentioned that time outs are fine for example.

It's just when people have to use pain/fear/violence as a tool to enforce their will because they can't figure out how to teach their kids what to do otherwise that's when it gets bad. Like 'do X or else, doesn't matter WHY just do it or I'll hit you.'

The fact is, the properly constituted authority CAN use force to make people comply. There may be other problems with spanking, but kids learning that is not one of them.

Uh of course it's an issue dude. A 12 year old doesn't understand 'properly constituted authority' they're just going to understand 'person is not doing what I want, I will hit/bully them until they do.'

Ignore all the poo poo I just linked talking about how corporal punishment doesn't teach anything and encourages aggressiveness and noncompliance though because 'my daddy spanked me and I'm ok!'

Like I just don't get it all the science says it has 0 benefit and all kinds of negatives idk how anyone could seriously be pro corporal punishment unless they just like beating kids or are deliberately ignorant.

Of course negative reinforcement works. Maybe not as well as positive reinforcement, haven't read up on any studies, but it certainly works. It's why when you burn your hand on a stove you don't keep touching it.

Touching fire teaches you that fire hurts therefore corporal punishment is valid.

Bro I'm so excited to have goons ignore the preponderance of evidence so they can go 'what about this one edge case that isn't really what you're talking about but KINDA applies' and use that to justify keeping their dumbass world views intact.

Like I get asked to cite my evidence and I do and then I'm literally just met with 'well I burned my hand on a stove and then I didn't do that again so even though I didn't read anything and didn't do any research I feel like this qualifies me to know about the finer points of operant conditioning.'

And if you really want to get into stupid goon pedantry: no one touches a stove just to touch a stove. Kids get burned trying to reach for cookies/cakes/whatever. All they learn is better ways to steal what they want.

I got burned on the cookie tray while reaching for cookies once, all I learned was 'be more careful' and I still stole a cookie. No one has burned themselves on a stove and went 'well I guess I better not nick food I want then.'

Okay and I am telling you that everyone from respected behavioral psychologists to child developmental experts say that is not true.

Ah, I see. You're just talking about teaching kids and not an "in general" sort of thing. We all good. Out of curiosity, do you have any links to the papers those behavioral psychologists? I'm kind of curious of how they tested their hypothesis and accounted for other punishments outside of corporal. Also, how they interpreted their data and compared it.

Yeah I meant more specifically in the context of parents/teachers interacting with kids. Obviously yeah you're right, if you do X and it hurts then your brain goes 'hey don't do that again' but aside from that basic physiological reaction you're not learning a whole lot. That's why corporal punishment results in short term compliance but less regard for rules/others and more aggression in the long term.

Anyway gonna just link you to this post as my phone browser sucks: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3780625&userid=185036#post461292991

The links/addresses are in the 'quote=' bit. I didn't really want to link to Psychology Today but the article itself links to studies and stuff you can check out like Berlin et al., 2009; Gershoff et al., 2012.

So when you hear "disabled kid paddled at school", teachers aren't flipping Stephen Hawking Jr's wheelchair over and beating his rear end with a drilled paddle for eating glue. It's probably some kid who doesn't read well that beat some nerd up on the playground because he watched his dad beat the poo poo out of his mom the night before after she drank the last of the Dark Eyes and couldn't drive him to his temporary job and his 49cc DUIped had a flat because their pitbull chewed through the tire while the father slept on the couch after shooting up.
