Proposed Study
Hypothesis:
Behavioral problems such as aggressiveness and depression are caused when parents spank their children from a young age. Slide11

Participants
100 soon to be parents from a pre birth class
Answer Survey Questions dealing with attitudes towards spanking (10)
Would you spank your child?
Were you yourself spanked as a child? If so how many times a week?
Do you believe spanking is an effective way to discipline children? Slide12
Step Two
Six Months Old another survey will be given to the parents
On a scale of 1-10 how unlikely would you be to spank your child if he/she did something wrong? (one being extremely unlikely and 10 being most likely)
Have you up to this point in time spanked your child? If so how many times?
Have you noticed any aggressive behaviors in your six month old such as constant crying, fussiness, or unwilling to eat? Slide13
Step Three
