Correlation between Childhood Discipline and Adult Mental Health

Kirsten Saint-Aime

Description

Research on the long-term effects of childhood spanking is limited, but a growing body of literature suggests that it may have serious implications for adult mental health. Furthermore, some research indicates that physical punishment may interfere with the development of secure attachment relationships, leading to further mental health issues later in life. Overall, this research suggests that physical punishment may have more serious implications for adult mental health than previously thought.
