Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spanking as a form of discipline teaches children that inflicting pain on others is an acceptable way to get what they want. This can lead to a cycle of aggression and violence, as children model the behavior they see their parents using. Lower levels of aggression (A) are not a negative consequence, and while emotional flattening (D) can occur, it is not a direct result of spanking. Withdrawal from both parents (B) may occur in some cases, but it is not a typical or widespread consequence of spanking.
