E. T. Gershoff（2002）回顾了可能调解体罚（CP）和儿童行为之间关联的过程和可能缓和体罚（CP）和儿童行为之间关联的背景，并在她的荟萃分析中提供了研究方法的弱点。在对Gershoff的研究中，作者认为，荟萃分析中的偏见和混淆进一步限制了关于CP对相关儿童行为的有害“影响”的任何因果推论。作者认为，不良的儿童结果与CP有关，因为该结构标志着不称职的严厉养育，并得出结论，尽管身体虐待和其他极端惩罚的有害影响是明确的，但Gershoff提出的证据并不能证明禁止打屁股的禁令是合理的。
E. T. Gershoff (2002) reviewed processes that might mediate and contexts that might moderate the associations between corporal punishment (CP) and child behaviors and provided an account of the methodological weaknesses of the research reviewed in her meta-analyses. In this examination of Gershoff, the authors argue that the biases and confounds in the meta-analyses further limit any causal inferences that can be drawn concerning the detrimental "effects" of CP on associated child behaviors. The authors suggest that undesirable child outcomes are associated with CP because the construct marks inept harsh parenting and conclude that although the harmful effects of physical abuse and other extreme punishments are clear, a blanket injunction against spanking is not justified by the evidence presented by Gershoff.
