Explanation / Answer

a. there would be no significant efefct of corporal punishment on child' behaviour

there would be no significant difference in the effect of corporal punishment among 36 months and 1st grade

b. the sample originally consisted of 705 male (51.7%) and 659 (48.3%) female children. There were 1,014 non-Hispanic Caucasian (74.34%), 176 African American (12.9%), 83 Hispanic (6.09%), and 93 otherwise classified (6.82%) children. The mean age of the mothers at their child’s birth was 28.11 years (SD ! 5.63). Twenty-four percent of the families were classified as living in poverty, as indicated by an income-to-needs ratio of less than 1

c. CP. The CP variable was derived from the Home Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME; Caldwell & Bradley, 1984), administered when the children were 15, 36, and 54 months of age.

Behavior problems. The CBCL (Achenbach, 1991, 1992) was used as an index of children’s behavior problems.

Demographic characteristics and temperament. At the 1-month assessment, the mothers reported on their children’s ethnicity and sex

d. The results indicate that parental CP uniquely contributes to negative behavioral adjustment in children at both 36 months and at 1st grade, with the effects at the earlier age more pronounced in children with difficult temperaments

e. Parents and mental health professionals who work to modify children’s negative behavior should be aware of the unique impact that CP likely plays in triggering and maintaining children’s behavior problems. Broad-based family policies that reduce the use of this parenting behavior would potentially increase children’s mental health and decrease the incidence of children’s behavior problems.

f. no, nothing surprised me a sit is true that early childhood experince do have an impact on child's behaviour.
