研究发现，体罚在改变儿童行为方面的效果有限，并有可能造成心理和认知损害。儿科专业人士主张减少使用，如果不是取消使用的话。尽管如此，这在美国仍然是一种常见的育儿方式。这项研究采用三组随机设计，探索在婴儿书籍中嵌入关于典型儿童发展和有效育儿的教育信息是否会改变新妈妈对使用体罚的态度。低收入、种族多样化的妇女(n=167)在怀孕的最后三个月被招募，并一直跟踪到她们的孩子18个月大。在此期间收集的以家庭为基础的数据表明，与非教育性的婴儿读物或没有任何读物相比，教育性的婴儿读物可以减少新母亲对使用体罚的支持(效果大小分别为0.67和0.25)，并且这些影响对于非裔美国母亲(效果大小=0.75和0.57)和教育程度较低的母亲(高中文凭、GED或以下)(效果大小=0.78和0.49)更大。鉴于它们的低成本和易于实施，婴儿读物提供了一个有希望的方法来改变新妈妈的态度，并有可能减少对婴儿和幼儿使用体罚。
Research has found corporal punishment to have limited effectiveness in altering child behavior and the potential to produce psychological and cognitive damage. Pediatric professionals have advocated reducing, if not eliminating its use. Despite this, it remains a common parenting practice in the U.S. Using a three-group randomized design, this study explored whether embedding educational information about typical child development and effective parenting in baby books could alter new mothers’ attitudes about their use of corporal punishment. Low-income, ethnically diverse women (n = 167) were recruited during their third trimester of pregnancy and followed until their child was 18 months old. Findings from home-based data collection throughout this period suggest that educational baby books compared with non-educational baby books or no books can reduce new mothers’ support for the use of corporal punishment (respective effect sizes = .67 and .25) and that these effects are greater for African-American mothers (effect size = .75 and .57) and those with low levels of educational attainment (high school diploma, GED or less) (effect sizes = 0.78 and .49). Given their low cost and ease of implementation, baby books offer a promising way to change new mothers’ attitudes and potentially reduce the use of corporal punishment with infants and toddlers.
