The claim is accurate. Those who were spanked as children have a higher incidence of emotional and social issues.
New research, published this month, demonstrates that spanking alters children's brain responses in ways similar to severe maltreatment and heightens perception of threats. Research has long highlighted the detrimental effects of spanking on children's social-emotional development, self-regulation, and cognitive development.
Even in the absence of child neglect or physical, se-xual, or emotional abuse, Canadian researchers discovered a connection between physical punishment (such as slapping, beating, pushing, and shoving) and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance misuse, and personality problems.
The psychological effects of maltreatment, including as troubles in school, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulty forming and sustaining relationships, can last a lifetime. Maltreatment can also make victims feel isolated, afraid, and untrustworthy.
