Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that certain U.S. groups, such as African Americans and Southerners, are more likely to use corporal punishment on their children than other groups. This fact should be stated by Dr. McKinna during his lecture. Option B is incorrect because while many parents do use spanking as a form of discipline, it is not necessarily "frequently" used by most parents. Option C is inaccurate because while some states have banned corporal punishment in schools, it is still legal in the home in all states. Option D is incorrect because while the use of corporal punishment in the United States has decreased over time, it is still fairly common.
