在过去的十年里，体罚一直是相当多的研究的焦点。最近的一些研究表明，使用体罚可能会对儿童产生重大的长期负面影响，这促使人们对这一问题进行了越来越多的探索和兴趣。我们使用托比特回归分析和2000年全国青少年纵向调查的数据，在具有全国代表性的父母样本中检验了打屁股的流行率和长期性。母亲的特征(如年龄、教育程度)和邻里环境与父母使用体罚没有关系。在使用体罚的父母中，身为新教徒与体罚的使用有相对较大的关系。尽管孩子的外化行为与父母打屁股的倾向有一定的关联，但研究结果表明，使用体罚可能更好地被理解为与父母养育方式有关的一系列行为的一部分。此外，研究结果表明，预测体罚的发生率比预测体罚的使用频率更容易。
Corporal punishment has been the focus of considerable study over the past decade. Some recent research suggesting that the use of corporal punishment may have significant long-term negative effects on children has prompted increasing exploration and interest in the issue. We used tobit regression analysis and data from the 2000 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine both the prevalence and the chronicity of spanking in a nationally representative sample of parents. Mother's characteristics (e.g., age, education) and neighborhood context did not show a relationship with parental use of corporal punishment. Among parents who used corporal punishment, being Protestant had a relatively large relationship with its use. Although children's externalizing behaviors had some association with parent's propensity to spank, findings suggest that use of corporal punishment may be better understood as part of a constellation of behaviors relating to a parenting style. Further, findings indicate that it is easier to predict the incidence of corporal punishment than to predict its frequency of use.
