Jeff Temple’s research that found parents who utilize corporal punishment as a means of discipline may be setting their children up to become violent toward future partners, continues to garner media interest. “Spanking is punishment, and punishment doesn’t work,” Temple told The Atlantic. “We know it with rats, we know it with humans. But if you can connect with a kid when they’re doing something right, they’re more likely to do that again in the future.” This research has been carried by television, radio stations, and newspapers nationwide and internationally. The topic was also covered by Tonic, the health outlet for VICE.
