这项研究调查了132名3岁儿童的父母，将宗教信仰作为对体罚的不同看法和据报使用体罚的一个来源。保守的新教徒报告说，他们比其他宗教团体的父母更多地使用体罚，但在专利报告使用的其他8种惩戒手段中没有发现宗教差异。保守的新教徒相信体罚的工具性好处与他们使用体罚的频率有关。与其他宗教信仰的父母相比，保守派新教徒更倾向于对儿童的道德、社会、谨慎和升级的不当行为使用体罚，并期望它能防止未来的违法行为。宗教信仰，特别是保守的新教信仰，似乎对养育子女有着强烈而持续的影响。
This study examined religious affiliation as a source of differences in beliefs about and reported use of corporal punishment by 132 mothers and fathers of 3-year-old children. Conservative Protestants reported using corporal punishment more than parents of other religious groups, but no religious differences were found in patents' reported use of 8 other disciplinary techniques. Conservative Protestants' belief in the instrumental benefits of corporal punishment was associated with their frequency of corporal punishment use. More than parents of other religious affiliations, Conservative Protestants intended to use corporal punishment for children's moral, social, prudential, and escalated misbehaviors and expected it to prevent future transgressions. Religious affiliation, particularly a Conservative Protestant one, appears to have a strong and consistent effect on child rearing.
