The statement provides a correlation between frequently spanked children and their tendency towards misbehavior. However, correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and there could be other factors involved. Also, the evidence does not provide information about the sample size or other variables that could affect the relationship between spanking and misbehavior. Therefore, we cannot draw a cause-and-effect conclusion based on this statement.
