This should get you to where you can download the report, but as you can see Dr. Gershoff states that it takes some time to download so you may want to try and get the full text by other means. Good luck…Sue Addington :O)

“A 2002 study-of-studies on the effects of corporal punishment on children also found evidence of many of these relationships”. This study, by Dr. Elizabeth Thompson Gershoff of Columbia University, encompassed 62 years of research. The study was entitled, Corporal Punishment by Parents and Associated Child Behaviors and Experiences: A Meta-Analytic and Theoretical Review. (This article is very long and takes an extended time period to download.) It was published in a journal of the American Psychological Association, Psychological Bulletin, Vol. 128, No. 4, pages 539-579.
Dr. Gershoff’s study found that parental use of corporal punishment was related to such child behaviors and experiences as:
• Greater Aggression
• Poorer Internalization of Moral Values
• Higher Rates of Delinquency and Antisocial Behavior
• Poorer Quality of Parent-Child Relationships
• Poorer Child Mental Health
• Being a Victim of Child Abuse
• Abusing Own Child and Spouse
Her study also found that the use of corporal punishment was associated with the short-term effect of a child more quickly complying with parental directions.

Many thanks!
