本研究考察了大学生对懦夫打屁股的态度与情境背景和孩子年龄的关系。正如预期的那样，受访者更有可能认为打屁股更适合学龄前儿童（3-4岁）和学龄早期儿童（7-8岁），而不是大一点的儿童（11-12岁）。体罚也被认为更适合当孩子的不当行为是不尊重（顶嘴），或违反强烈的规范（打玩伴，偷窃），而不适合年龄相关或不太严重的不当行为。性别和种族差异出现了，男性和黑人比女性和白人更支持体罚。总的来说，调查结果显示了对打屁股的强烈支持，尽管有证据表明存在一些矛盾心理，尤其是在白人和女性受访者中。讨论了研究结果的含义。
This study examined college students' attitudes coward spanking as a function of the situational context and age of the child. As expected, respondents were more likely to find spanking appropriate for preschool (ages 3-4) and early school age children (ages 7-8) than for older children (ages 11-12). Physical punishment was also viewed as more suitable when the child's misbehavior was disrespectful (talking back to a parent), or violated strongly held norms (hitting a playmate, stealing), and less appropriate for age-related or less serious misbehavior. Gender and race differences emerged, with males and blacks showing more support for corporal punishment than females and whites. In general, findings revealed strong support for spanking, although there was evidence of some ambivalence, especially among white and female respondents. Implications of the findings are discussed.
