Spanking and Genetics May Increase Childhood Aggression
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120305132250.htm
“A study co-authored by UT Dallas criminologist Dr. J.C. Barnes shows that the risk of problem behavior during childhood — particularly for boys — is greatly increased if children have genetic predispositions for these behaviors and if they are spanked by their parents…”
“‘Males who were spanked and had the highest genetic risks displayed the most aggressive behavior compared to other males.’”
I can totally understand the male/female difference in responding to spanking. If they studied further, I would bet that the women grow up to be abused by men.
About The Author
People who are more aggressive are more likely to have aggressive children. People who are aggressive are more likely to hit their kids. Children inherit aggressiveness. So even if the parents give the child up for adoption, his aggressiveness will be more like his biological parents than his adoptive parents. It is also true for many other heritable traits.
