We should discuss socioeconomic status as a mitigating factor in the use
of CP. And how to address that issue.

Or is that too current and real for you?

I've no problem addressing that issue. The answers are probably far out
of reach for most in this group though. Alan Greenspan does not post
here.

The more immediate and more accessible issues would have the most
immediate impact <pun intended> on the spanking issue.

I'm not here, though I can't speak for others, say Doan, to idly
distract and misdirect folks.

To me this is a practical matter of mitigating children's daily pain
and fear.

I'd be, when we are through discussing "socioeconomic status," going
back to the more proximate issues.

How to change attitude and long held beliefs seems more important to
me. While that's no easy job, it seems more accessible than how to
change socioeconomic status and hope that that has an effect on
spanking.

I don't think there's an appreciable drop in spanking rates until you
reach very high levels of income.

Now if you wanted to deal with abusive discipline, that could be
factored in with CPS data from the USDHS and you could find
socioeconomic influences.

I think it's time we welcomed discussion on what a law should look like
that bans spanking.

While I disagree with you that a 25 year old study is outdated (we use
the ancient research of others in current science and industry
commonly...take a class in electrical engineering for instance) I do
agree that there is "current" things to look at.

And what could be more current than a new law, either a state law for
each state, or though less my preference, a single federal law.

What should be in such a spanking or CP ban law?

But feel free to explore "socioeconomic status as a mitigating factor


in the use
of CP. And how to address that issue."

If I'm interested I'll be happy to contribute in whatever way I can.

Why for instance in America are parenting classes only available to
parents after the fact. After they have been investigated for child
abuse, after their children have been placed in foster care when the
parents are either desperate to get their kids, or so angry that they
refuse to attend parenting workshops. I know in my state parenting
classes are available but certainly not encouraged for at risk parents
(young parents,families on assistance, single parents, parents who grew
up in abusive households)

I think before we can even consider a non-spanking law we need to
address the issues of these at risk parents, get them into parenting
classes, give them mentors, teach them appropriate discipline
strategies. Give them a support network so when they feel overwhelmed
with the responsibilities of parenthood they can get help BEFORE there
is a problem.

There is no such limit. Anyone wishing to take a parenting class can
find them easily. Health departments, parks and recreation, mental
health departments, some schools, private instructors are all available.

In fact, you can even find on-line classes.

How would you get them to go to parenting classes until they were
compelled to?

The classes are everywhere. They are even free in some places.

How are they not encouraged? You mean actively discouraged, or not
publicized enough?

Two problems, I think.

One is that you cannot compel them to attend unless they have CPS
intervention going on. It would be civil rights violation. I've argued
with state legislators over this when one governor or another proposed
"early intervention" with new mothers in geographical areas considered
high risk, or with behaviors considered high risk. They understood
rather easily when I pointed out the BOR to them from the Constitution.

One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to
be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes.

Thus we come around again to the law.

Two, money.

Who will provide this support network?

Churches, local interest groups, even the local health department
schedules a variety of things to get young parents involved, especially
new mothers, even providing child care during the meetings.

The problem is that the families that are targetted for this help can
refuse to respond, or simply not be interested, and that is certainly
their right. I do not support compelled services unless the level of
problem has reached a proportion that has involved child protection
services by the state.

And while at one time such programs could access hospital records for
new births, and visit the new mothers directly, they are now proscribed
from doing so by HIPAA. Any PR or marketing of the programs have to be
addressed into to already crowded media advertising world.

This is precisely why I support a law addressing the actual behavior.

There is nothing; poverty, large families, single parenting that MAKES a
parent spank a child.

A law will address the issue directly. It will mean nothing to those
that already do these things for their children. They won't be effected.
They already actively seek alternatives to CP. Collect and study
information about child development. Provide themselves with strees
reducing activities and strategies for when parenting overwhelms them.

In the law, I'll insist on having these issues addressed.

There must be public funding support for programs mandated to help those
charged and convicted of spanking. If not, there's little point in the
law, though these things in the past have tended to sort themselves out.

I imagine when women's sufferage was finally a fact there was some
support for teaching women the political processes they were about to
engage in.

There was supposed to be help for freed slaves, but that didn't go as well.

The law banning spanking would work for all concerned. The parent
convicted of spanking could then DEMAND state support for them to
rehabilitate. At least some reimbursement, some child care, some
training monies.

I'd be happy with that.

These problems you have mentioned are ones that have been addressed
before at great length by society. They have done pretty much all they
can do, sans constitutional violations, at this point. Now it's time to
move forward with a law.

PS, Embry and Malfetti found that there was a change from baseline
counted street entries from 9.7 per hour by children, to, after the
program, 0.7 entries per hour.

What was also remarkable was that the rate of "safe play" praise by
parents also shot up after they had been trained. In fact, 33 times more
such incidents after the program than before at measuring for the baseline.

Even children having a very low baseline street entry rate, dropped
considerably after the training was in place. 1.8 entries per hour, as
opposed to 0.2 per hour with the program in place. Only 10% of the
baseline rate.

Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before had
children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour. K~

In my area no one talks about parenting classes until it's too late.
They are not encouraged, they are only available at certain times that
make it inconveniant for working parents, no child care is available.
Most low income families that I know do not have a computer, nor do
they know how to use the internet, nor do they have time to go to the
library to take a class on how to use the internet. So how are they to
gain access to parenting classes?

How would you force people to obey a no-spanking law without first
setting up a support network, and educational resources?

The classes are not everywhere.

I was once considered an at risk parent. I was 19 with a newborn, and
a history of family abuse. You know what my local hospital did upon
discharge from the maternity unit. Sent a nurse to my home once a week
for the first 6months of my child's life. She came to check up on my
child, and my physical and emotional recovery. She provided me with
information. She caught my post partum depression. She helped insure
that mother child bond grew properly. If at 6months she felt that we
needed more help she would have continued with her visits, and provided
me with more information.

Sometimes you have to go through the back door to get to the front
door.

if you are talking passing of a Federal Law then it should be Federal
Money that pays for the classes, locations, and child care.

Local government would be responsible for the support network. In my
area most support groups for new parents, or parents with problems are
either offered at the Intermediate school district, or at the
Hospital.

yes that is certainly their right, but even having the help publicized
to a level that will continually remind them that it is available would
be a step in the right direction. As it stands now, you only hear of
parenting classes if you are ordered to take them or you are looking
for them.

Yet you support a law to prohibit spanking, without first having
programs in place to teach parents new techniques.

If we were a bunch of cannabals who didn't know how to butcher a cow,
would you be in support of a law that prohibits people eating without
first teaching people how to butcher a cow? (weird analogy, but I
think it works)

As of september 2004 my local hospital was still sending nurses to new
mother's homes.

I disagree. perhaps the situation doesn't "make" them spank...but it
certainly makes it easier to spank.

How?? Do the laws against murder address the issues that cause a
person to murder? No they just provide incentive not to, and
punishment when you do.

Speaking of punishment...what type of punishment do you have in mind
for this law?

Many single parent households, poor households, etc. Don't have the
luxuery of a parental "time out" They have to work, they have to
parent, they have to clean the house, they don't have the help needed
to take a break.

Sorry about your area. Have you researched more?

I have no idea. How do they find time to watch TV? Bowl? Tavern hang?

Check again with your county health department for available child
rearing classes.

By the way, I know many low income families and very few lack a
computer. They are just so cheap these days. Used are going for $50 to
a hundred bucks, with software installed, lots of it, including a
browser. And kids are taught computer use in public schools.

I'm still puzzled though that you think the community has some
responsibility above and beyond the parents themselves to aquire better
parenting skills, so they won't feel the need to spank.

Remember, we are talking about making it a law not to spank. That is a
motivator. Just like traffic laws that require being able to pass a
driving test. Or a food handler's permit. Or practicing law. It's the
person's responsibility...not one elses.

No matter how available parenting information might be you cannot force
people to access it unless you have a law that makes it illegal to
spank.

Non consentual spanking is assault if performed on an adult. How can it
logically not be just because it's performed on a child.

That is untrue. I have responded to every post and to every question. I
have asked questions of my own where you asked and confined your premise
to your geo area. I have asked when the question did not make sense in

If you can find a place I dodged please point it out and I'll happily

You did not attribute in the post I'm responding to now any of the prior
posts. When I read them over, as I just did, I do NOT see where your
accusation is true.

But I'm open for correction if you'll point out my 'dodging.'

In fact, I'll go back over my own posts in this thread and do it FOR
you. Feel free to correct my doing so. I do not hide, dodge, mislead,

You post to another with an ad hom at me and warn her to watch for me
using ad hom. Interesting, isn't it.

Her question asking if I was dodging based on my non answers to her
questions and only asking questions myself amounts to a false
accusation. Reading over my posts in this thread and my reponses there
is no such thing going on on my part. It's you that dodge Doan, constantly.

Kane,

While you answered the first half of the questions I asked you failed
to answer the second half.

The one that addressed HOW you would propose stopping the offending
behavior without first TEACHING people how to stop.

The One that asked what Punishment you propose for violating your
proposed law.

Read the second half of my post.

.........................................................

All the responses I made to your question posed to me from you first
post...the one suggesting an exploration of socio economic issues
follow. I'll confine myself to cut and paste from my own posts, leaving
yours out, but respond to precisely what you now claim I did not.

And referring to your current claim of "The one that addressed HOW you


would propose stopping the offending behavior without first TEACHING
people how to stop. The One that asked what Punishment you propose for
violating your proposed law. "

You postulated that classes were available only after the fact and not
available. I responded with:

"Anyone wishing to take a parenting class can
find them easily. Health departments, parks and recreation, mental
health departments, some schools, private instructors are all
available.

In fact, you can even find on-line classes.

http://tinyurl.com/dastb "

How is that NOT answering your question about teaching?

In fact, I answered WHY we cannot get them educated before the fact
BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO COMPELL THEM UNLESS WE BRING SOME
CHARGE AGAINST THEM. And I pointed out that is what family court and
CPS is FOR.

"One is that you cannot compel them to attend unless they have CPS
intervention going on. It would be civil rights violation. I've argued
with state legislators over this when one governor or another proposed
"early intervention" with new mothers in geographical areas considered
high risk, or with behaviors considered high risk. They understood
rather easily when I pointed out the BOR to them from the Constitution.

One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to
be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes. "

I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, did I not?

I know of know legal policy that can get people educated before the
fact.

I do know though that efforts have been made by encorporating such
education into the highschool classroom in some areas. I did not
mention that before, because it IS NOT A MANDATORY class subject. And
it can't be made to be.

Unless you wish to try and convince parents it's more important than
math.

In fact I went on at great length to answer your question in

Then in your message #5 that followed you asked me how one could force
them to obey a law they had been provided services to allow them to:

"How would you force people to obey a no-spanking law without first
setting up a support network, and educational resources?

The classes are not everywhere. "

I respond in message #5 as follows:

"Check again with your county health department for available child
rearing classes. "

"I'm still puzzled though that you think the community has some


responsibility above and beyond the parents themselves to aquire better
parenting skills, so they won't feel the need to spank.

Remember, we are talking about making it a law not to spank. That is a
motivator. Just like traffic laws that require being able to pass a
driving test. Or a food handler's permit. Or practicing law. It's the
person's responsibility...not one elses.

No matter how available parenting information might be you cannot force
people to access it unless you have a law that makes it illegal to
spank. "

I even pointed out how to access free computer access, and cheap
computers.

And you followed all my attempts to answer the questions you actually
asked with this insult:

"

I noticed that you only responded to those items that you could ask

Then in your message, #5 in the thread, you asked:

"Speaking of punishment...what type of punishment do you have in mind
for this law? "

Which I had ALREADY COVERED IN DEPTH in my prior post, #4 in the
series.

Read it again and tell me that I did not answer your question.

It may not be to YOUR satisfaction, but I sure as hell did NOT ignore
your question.

I included only ONE penalty...(and I don't consider it a "punishment"
that they be required to "rehabilitate."

So obviously I did not advocate a punishment. If that is what you
consider not answering your question, think you should read my message
again, or are you playing "Doan" on me now?

Pick a single word and hairsplit down to the point YOU can make a claim
about MY intent or failure that is NOT actually in evidence?

Did you miss where I DID in fact answer that question in the only way
it can be answered, by referrence to current child abuse statutes (and
one would presume their penalties listed) in the states?

"The only legal action would be child
protection statutes."

I did not LIST the penalties because I would have to review all states
to do so.

My own newsreaders and google manage to do the same. I'm not sure what
you are referring to, SINCE YOU DON'T INCLUDED my "actually neatly
Quoted " comments in this post where you are simply referring to them.

In fact the ONLY instance of my comments in this post ARE MY OWN CUT

You did it again. You accused me of something but left all referrences

Only to harassment, and lies, unlike you Doan.

Hence, it's not typical, and further that would make it misleading on
your part.

You are lying, in other words.

Kane,

You're right I did edit some of what you wrote. I took out items that
were irrelevant to what I wished to ask you or comment on. For example
the URL you provided for online parenting classes. It was unnecessary
for me to quote the URL, it would have been redundant as I had not
comment on the URL in question.

When I removed my comments that triggered your
comments/questions/rebuttal leaving your comments "lonely and dangling"
I did so that those reading along didn't have to sift through 300lines
of dialogue to catch up to what we are talking about, and I presumed
that you would know/remember what our conversation was about. Perhaps
I presumed wrongly.

As for you quoting the Embry study again...you cannot accuse me of
dodging because I had already stated I would not be baited into a long
drawn out discussion on a teeny tiny report from 25yrs ago.

To answer your question regarding who is responsible for the lack of
available parenting classes in my area. The State and Federal
government. There is no funding.

My comment "see above" in response to your question "How are they not


encouraged? You mean actively discouraged, or not

publicized enough?" was to save myself time typing out the answer
because i had just answered it above. You have a knack for asking the
same questions several ways trying to get different answers so you can
trip people up with their words.

I split up one very long paragraph of yours so I could comment on
individual portions in the hopes that it would be less confusing. But
I see you were confused by it. Perhaps you should carefully read next
time.

You keep saying that you responded to

"The one that addressed HOW you would propose stopping the offending
behavior without first TEACHING people how to stop.

The One that asked what Punishment you propose for violating your
proposed law."

I have read and reread your posts...and you did NOT answer these
questions. If you feel you did, perhaps you can do a little copy and
paste yourself in your next messege and point them out to me.


I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions of
your extensive butt cover....erm clarification of your prior posts I am
responding to...but I've been wrong before.

Go to parentingbanner.com in the bluish tool bar at the top should be

Being able to directly quote people makes things easier.

Although I didn't quote Kane in my prior post because it would have

Your accusation was that I did not respond to your questions.

I don't have a problem with someone snipping my remarks. I do if they
refer back to them for information or claiming I did or didn't say
something.

It is not a teeny tiny report. It's a longitudinal study of
considerable scientific rigorously applied research methods. It
explored, for the first time in all research before, and possibly
since, a direct observation of applied methods of parenting on one
subject. A near perfect field study to my mind.

Each of the 33 subject families were described in depth, each child
also. The simple method of teaching rather than using CP to try and
create a child response by pain aversion was elegant and refined as no
other study had ever attempted.

And the basics of social science research accepted methodology has not
changed all that much in 25 years. Standards and analysis are still
much the same.

You may do what you wish, but making value comments on a study you have
not seen is unacceptable judgement of that study.

> To answer your question regarding who is responsible for the lack of

The Federal government is not allowed to withhold funding to one state
while funding another for the various grants and programs. If your
state doesn't have them someone there is not doing the relatively
simple work to apply for them.

Hence, I have no answer to YOUR problem beyond what I already offered,
and why I asked you questions sometimes rather than answer. I did not
have enough information to give a credible answer to you. I do not
believe I asked evasive questions, hence your rhetorical question that
in fact accused me of dodging was uncalled for.

That is untrue. You are projecting Doans most common methods on me.

Just as now, and throughout the thread, when you gave me more
information requested I answered your questions more fully and did NOT
use that information to "trip" you "up with" your "words."

If you think so, point it out. If true have have most abject apologies
I only have come back at your with some harshness when YOU appeared to
be playing the "Doan Game" with me. A harassing false insinutation
like, "Dodging?"

> I split up one very long paragraph of yours so I could comment on

Perhaps I should. And that I did when you accused me of "Dodging?" We
both know that was an accusation in a rhetorical form.

Upon reading your prior posts and my responses I found NO instances
where I had failed to answer you as fully as was possible, nor did I
ask any questions that were not calculated to gain more information so
I could give an answer...which I then did IF you tendered the
information asked for.

I did it again in this post, without any attempts to 'trip' you up with
your own words.

I don't even need to go back. I can tell you from memory, and in a most
recent post to you pointed them out yet again.

To your first question I answered by pointing out that I would put
requirements in the law to provide for services to the accused. I made
that very clear.

To our second question I answered that the charges and penalties should
be taken from state statutes currently used to prosecute child abuse
NOW.


>
> I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions of

> responding to...but I've been wrong before.

You are simply using harassing language to accuse me of what I have not
done. Why would answering your questions then or now be "butt
cover.....?"

You came back at me accusing me of dodging. I have pointed out to you
my prior posts responding to the specific questions you said I did not
respond to. Is that "butt cover.....," to point those out to you when
you asked me to?

Or did you wish to make an accusation and I NOT respond in defense of
my post's contents?

Let's see it again, shall we?

Here is yesterday's post to you answering all your questions in full,
using citations and links back to my messages, and quoting the exact
words I used back then. And they WERE answers to your two questions
above.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.parenting.spanking/msg/633f218eb338b2ba?hl=en&

Why are you still denying that I answered you when the proof is right
in front of your eyes?

Here is a requote of my original posted comments to your questions from
my message cited above as to link:

"One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to
be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes. "

That actually answers both your questions.

One cannot get a parent to be trained if they do not want to...so
obviously, along with the list of sources I know are available
elsewhere (I cannot solve YOUR local problem so don't ask me to and
it's NOT a dodge for me to so state), the answer to your question is
that there must be enforcement.

As to how to force that? That's your second question, what penalty or
punishment would the law apply. "The only legal action would be child
protection statutes." is my answer.

And as I said, I'm not going to list all the states statutes. And that
too is NOT dodging.

If you want an exact answer, as you seemed to for your "lack of
resources in my state," response, and since I do NOT know your state of
residence, then who could I be dodging not to have an answer beyond
what I gave?

> --
> beccafromlalaland

You are looking more and more like you simply wish to pick a fight, and
you are an admirer of Doan and his shoddy sick little tricks.

Why are you stating falsely that I did not answer your questions?

You may not like my answers, but they are answers and fair and as
accurate as they can be under the limitations of your information to me
at each step our our posted exchanges.

When you told me more, I answered more fully.

Kane,

You have my apologies I clearly misunderstood your responses.

The current statute for child abuse involves the children being taken
away from the parents until said parents complete the required
punishment complete parenting classes and prove that they are stable.
This can take Months to Years to complete depending on the severity of
abuse, and in many cases never happens. During that time children are
placed with a suitable family member, foster or group home.

This is understandable in situations of abuse.

I do not believe spanking "is" abuse. I believe it is a misguided
attempt at discipline, from loving parents who do not have the tools
available to them to use gentle discipline.

If you propose to remove the children from a home, from their loving
parents who do not "know" any other/better way of discipline then you
are NOT only punishing the Parents, you are punishing the Children.

You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive to
gain the necessary skills to stop spanking.

That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide their
behavior.

I should work to be more clear. Your criticism is actually helpful in
that way.

This is too important to not be clear.

Actually there are other outcomes in most states. My state and all
those around me do not have a "punishment" penalty. And they do not
take all children away. A fair percentage remain with the parent while
the parent does the various service plan goals.

Some can be as simple as having a "homemaker" come in and work on
programs to housekeep, food buying and prep, child and baby care,
budgeting skill building. And most important, self care.

In 1980-81 when I did my practicum and ended up being hired for a year
part time on a work study program, because of my background, I wound up
supervising homemakers, and participating in parent training. Child
care was provided by the state, on the premises. I used to coordinate
those services and rent, or borrow facilities in folks neighborhood so
they would not have to travel far....and at that they were provided bus
tickets if needed.

Yes.

> This is understandable in situations of abuse.

Some folks have a very hard time getting through it, but have some
pretty major life problems that negatively impacts their ability to
keep their child safe.

We differ on this.

We agree on this, to a point. Some folks confuse attachment and
ownership with love.

I don't. That's only ONE possibly outcome of a child abuse founding.
That happens in cases where there is more damage to the child.

> You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive to
> gain the necessary skills to stop spanking.

Yes. I've seen many parents learn to parent better because they were on
a CPS services plan, and in most of those cases I knew about them
because a relative (I used to help relatives with various aspects of
foster and adoption) had the child in their care temporarily.

I got to watch the return of the children to their bio parent too.

> That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide their

That will always be true. People will always find ways to hide their
crimes.

I'm sure you can see that that does not mean we simply should not have
laws.

You will find that laws against spanking have worked in many other
countries.

And people don't lose their children for 'spanking.' Not there, and not
here. People aren't even reported for spanking. They are reported for
suspected abuse.

My best guess is that when spanking is illegal that won't change in the
least. You'd be surprized how many people that spank also abuse.

Like drug use now....people don't lose their children because of drug
use. They come to the attention of CPS because of the things they do or
fail to do as a result of drug use.

Crime...got to jail...can't care for kids....tweaking...can't care for
kids....crashing...can't care for kids.....etc. etc etc.

The only "drug" crime that will result in children being removed for
THE CRIME, is having children present in a meth lab. Some states have
gone one step further, but I can't fault them on that -- just having a
child in a household where drug SALES are taking place.

You haven't.

Hence your ploys go nowhere.

Let me know when you are ready to answer my questions that prove you

Submission of bits and pieces you have picked up from other

Where did I say I don't' dare to debate you? I'm responding to YOUR
daring me to debate you. I simply won't until you prove you have the
study I have.

Why did you excise the content?

I don't recall offerring to debate her. I invited her to get the study.

Are you claiming that the above statements are TRUE 100%? And that it
is not something you made up as you go along. Here is your chance to
rectify your "mistake", if any. ;-) I am just setting the stage in

this study for what it is and not Embry according Kane. Go ahead, Kane!

her questions, and I had.

You are if you think others are fooled by your claims to not having an
agenda other than supporting parents "making up their own mind."

You'd done everything possibly to influence them to make them up to
spank, and defended spanking your entire posting history here, and
argued against non spanking.

Are you going to claim that your statements are always 100% true? Why,
if not, would you hold me to 100%, other than to have some pissyassed
argument with me over the meaning of a single word that isn't relevant
to the entire statement or article, as you did with "effect" when I
made clear the Canadian study was "correlationa?" Rather than accept my
explanation you simple could not longer argue the content and tried to
play weasel with one word.

You are a cowardly unethical immoral lying pissant, actually. And
you've been posting this same way for years.

And that it

There is nothing to rectify unless I made a mistake in the nature of a
typo or misunstanding.

YOu, when you debate, instead of seeking clarification and better
information, simply want to take a mistake or something you disagree
with and call the other person a liar, liar.

I am working from a particular study report. If she gets the same one
she will see what I see. And know that every detail of what I have said
exists in the study.

But you, little lying child who does NOT have they study, or you would
have known that 13 was NOT the size of the sample and participants,
will continue to try and fake it.

When the study comes up you will be exposed for the liar you are. Now
all you have to do is convince becca that there is not reason to get
the study.

What a child.

I'm sitting here with the study at my left hand. It's been in my files
for years. I've watched you try to weasel about it. Other's on this ng
have a copy of my copy and know you are lying and weaseling and you
still go on pretending.

The fact you would NOT prove you had the report I did by correctly
answering just a few identifying features of the report makes plain
what a thoroughgoing liar and cheat you are.

Kane,

Tell me how would you explain yourself if I use interlibrary loan and
get the study, and the information doesn't match up. As you have
implied may happen with your above statement.

What do you mean that you are working from a "particular study report"
Does that mean that you yourself don't even have the study in front of
you.

Opps! Wait. What could this be? A little typo, or a little slip of
honesty from the unconscious that some folks don't even believe
in....R R R R R

"Aline?" What an interesting name. It rings a bell with me, but for
the life of me I just can't remember where. Something connected to my
old school ties, or maybe when I was really really little and attended
training for a religious rite with the other little kiddies.
Hmmmm.....maybe it'll come back to me if I give

> why can't you provide it?

Goodness me oh my. Droany seemed to have snipped that portion of my
post where I answered that question.

And I have provided it, twice now. If and when the recipients care to
tell you so they will. Until then, sweat little Droaner. They KNOW I
told the truth...you they may have a bit of doubt about.

The next time you create a sock story do a better job. You might want
to check in with the couch croucher buddy of yours. He knows a number
of puppet masters...not much better than you though.

"Alina" made her or its case for working with a child. Nothing in the
study is useful for that.

If you were honest you would have TOLD "Alina" 'Aline' that. Anyone
with the real 25 year old study would have NOT offered it to someone
trying to make parenting decisions...it's useful for that....the web
page for Paxis is the place to send a "mommy" who's child is
conveniently to young to discuss actual discipline problems.

Everying going on in this thread is becoming more charmingly
convoluted. I do so love puzzles. I've actually made a bit of an
income with solving one particular puzzle game over the years. Wanna
guess which one? Very popular.

Now I happily pointed Alina to the site where the outcomes and tools
used are offered. If Alina wants more support to decide on whether or
not to use the training materials THAT would be the place to ask for
them.

The study is very old, over 25 years, and is a tool for debate at this
time, not for parenting children.

You screwed up yet again.

In fact you screwed up so bad I can hardly stop laughing.

Here's why:

There is an "Aline" associated with USC. Which of course YOU know, and
if that particular Aline were not in the habit....R R R or should I
say, Habit, and a tad younger she MIGHT have noticed your addy and
just trotted over to see you...R R R R R

http://www.usc.edu/dept/pubrel/trojan_family/summer99/alumninews/AP_g...

So when you have a moment ring her up if she's still living, Class of
`42, R R R R R, tell her you used her name for a scam.....and it
didn't work.

Aline Marie Gerber, who is pictured on her Alumni Profile page in
Habit as a nun.

Gosh, why didn't you give your puppet a last name, like maybe, R R R
R, "Doheny?"

Your spanish isn't bad, but I suspect, like all your other drivel, you
had someone translate for you. What a sap.

Good one, Droaner, when you lie you go bigtime don't you. I wonder how
she'd like knowing you used HER name for this sickness of yours.

And....mmmmpphhhhh....R R R R, if you hadn't slipped and used the real
name you cobbled the sock puppet name, "Alina" from, I might never
have caught you....but don't count on it. My research skills are
formidable, as some twits here have found out the hard way.

>Doan

So, shall we wait to see what happens? Why of course we will, because
when Aline, opps, "Alina" says the study has arrived I'll have the
same questions for "Alina" that I had for you.

We'll see if you have the study I have.

I hope Gerald and "Alina" have a high speed connection to the
internet. That's a lot of graphics to send.

And please, do try to lie your way out with a "coincidence" argument.
It fits right in there with all the other times you've been caught
lying.

BINGO.......R R R R......BANGO......R R R R R R R
R........B!O!N!G!O!!!!!

Now go stand in front of the mirror and tell youself in a confident,
yelling voice, "I STILL HAVE FACE."

Well, beccafromlalaland. Kane has a special copy. ;-) According to Kane:

"You don't have a copy. There are none out there that did not come
directly from Dr. Embry."

Since I have already pointed you to where copies of this study are
available, the above claim by Kane is a LIE or a "mistake" in Kane's

Posting history for "Alina" from "Mexico" when I asked "her" why she
hadn't gotten "the study" you claimed you provide, said, "I can't
afford the postage and he wants me to send him a stamped evelope." Come
on Doan. No one is that poor. Not even in Mexico.

Hell, Doan, it even sound like "becca."

4/6/2004 6:59 PM

"I don't want to be rude, but I am not interested in your ongoing
online argument with Doan, or to scam either of you two.
I have, however, asked him for that study. It is ME that is taking
long now, because he has asked that I send an envelope so he can snail
mail it back. Baby is still a little sick so I have not gone out or
done much.
If it helps you in any way, yes, I will let you know when I have it."


4/15/2004 5:06 AM

"Um... no, I have done nothing about it yet :-/
I *will* let you know as soon as anything happens.

Best regards,

Alina."

In checking "Alina's" posting history I find, even with repeats on her
only about fifty post, and only 26 originals. ONE only to a group that
should have been somewhere, given the health issues, she would have
very likely posted many times. Her ONE and only post there appeared to
pick up the thread, as though she was engaged previously in the thread.
Nonsense.

She posted ONE post in Spanish. One. And never showed up in that group
again.

Her last post anywhere was after a great long gap and right about the
time I started pointing out to you AGAIN that you were "Alina."
Interesting coincidence, eh?

Exactly as I did in the past. I told Doan that I was willing, according
to HIS challenge to debate the Embry study, to do so if he had the same
report I did. I offered to do so when he claimed he had it.

He failed to produce even the simplest proof based on MY information in
the report I have.

The "report" is the study result. All the paperwork, forms, etc. are not
published as far as I know. If you have access to the entire thing,
notes and all, excellent..but the report is what is usually read and
considered. Unless he's published in a journal or other professional
publication on this. Is he?

Do you have the one he is pointing you to?

You aren't willing to give her a copy of yours neither. I've offered
to send her a copy but she would rather get her own. I thought you

If this is a valid viable study there would be no difference in
research report, or study outcome, no difference in the sample size.
But from what I have read from both of you and on my own there is a
difference of 20 subjects between what you are quoting and what Doan
and I have found. It's suspicious.

From what I have been able to gather this is not publishing in any
scholarly journals. Probably because the sample size is too small to
be considered anywhere near to accurate/average results.

The "report" from my understanding of research would be the basic
outline of the "study" which would be the entire paper research notes
and all. So you only have the "report"

I have not obtained a copy of the Paper, The name/title has been
discussed several times on this forum. I find it odd that you would
request that I name it, when we all already know it's title.

When I see things that don't add up I ask questions that is how one
learns about another. Your statements made no sense in the context of
what you had previously claimed, so I inquired further.

As to your claim in a prior post that I sound like "Alina/Aline" It's
not uncommon for women near the same age and same intelligence to sound
similar. You and Jeremy James sound very similar to me...does that mean
you are one and the same?

Nothing suspicious at all. The 20 EXTRA subjects were NOT observed, no
baseline data. Thus, nothing can be drawn from these children on whether
their rate of street entries declined or increased. The data that were
available are from the sample size of 13 that were observed. No one can
claim that the sample size is anything other than 13. It's just simple
logic! The question now, and the one that Kane avoiding, is which data
in the study support this claim from Kane:

"Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before
had children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour."

Very well spoken Becca. If someone is determined to prove a point, it is
possible to find "research" or "studies" to support nearly any point of
view. Case in point, there is a group that calls themselves the Flat Earth
Society that still believe that the Earth is a flat object and not
spherical. They even provide "evidence" to support their theory. The below
link is actually just one of several:

http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm

The internet is a good place to find a lot of good information, and also a
lot of nonsense. Or as a co-worker says, the internet is 50% Encyclopedia
and 50% National Enquirer.

Don't believe everything you read.

Embry didn't do "one" study in his professional life, becca. He's done
many. This paticular subject, twice. He even refers, in his report, to
child subjects from the "prior" study being referred to the
non-baseline-observed group precisely because they and their parents had
participated in a prior study and might influence the outcome of this
one -- now get this -- because the parents had already learned parenting
skills they might apply to this study.

In other WORDS THEY HAD ALREADY LEARNED SKILLS THAT WERE NOT INCLUSIVE
OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

> But from what I have read from both of you and on my own there is a

What's suspicioius to me is that Doan, who has claimed to have "the
study" which is, with appendixes 140 pages, and is unaware of this line
from the report:
"METHOD
Subjects
Thirteen preschool-aged children and their parents participated in the
observational phase of the program, and another 20 preschool-aged
children and their parents participated in the program but where not
observed."

(The non-"observed" where NOT excluded from the study.They are as
thoroughly described as part of the sample as the 13 are. In fact the 20
and 13 are described in Table 1 under "Subjects" as: Observed and
Non-Observed Participating Children by Sex, Age, and Special
Characteristics. And their parents, described in Table 2 as
"Occupational Status of Participating Parents" numbered from S1 through
S33....that is why I have consistently used the number 33....but the
author of the abstract did NOT read the entire report and understand
that the two groups WERE in fact participants in the study. The 13 are
used for the active portion of the study, that is their street entry and
multivariate information is used.

What I find significant is that Doan never KNEW there were 33 children
in all. )

Yes, he is that.

You need to remember that HIS was the challenge to debate Embry, and
mine a refusal to do so until we both had the SAME report...since I
knew, but did not tell him...that there had been TWO studies on the same
subject, but conducted in the first one without a "training program
package."

The reason I would not debate him without the same one is that he's
famous for making it up as he goes..presuming results that are not
there, criticizing research for things it was not intended to show,
demanding it show what HE wishes it to show instead of what the methods
statement SAYS it was meant to examined.

He's just an arrogant bullshitter. Always has been, always will be.

Not only did I never claim it was, I expressly pointed out to Doan a
very long time ago that it was not and that that was why one had to get
it from Embry. At that time I was unaware that AAA still would provide
it (they ended printing some years back -- which I already knew) on a
"copy on demand" for 10 cents a page.

Things change. When they do, Doan will claim you lied. Funny little
monkeyboy.

> Probably because the sample size is too small to

It was NOT a survey study to determine "average" results against a
representative larger population. It was an experimental study to
determine the outcomes of applying a packaged parenting program. Nothing
else. Stop Doananating.

A research sample is a research sample. This study was not presented as
anything but what it was. 13 observed children and families. It means
what it means, and sample size is NOT critical because it is NOT being
presented as a "representative sample" study. No larger population is
being considered.

AND, what Doan doesn't know, until now, of course, is that this study
has been replicated and is in good standing with peers.

Closed multivarate studies (which is what is meant by "experiments") are
NOT about projecting the results on a larger population, but simply
experimenting. 13 is a MORE than adequate number to TEST A THEORY.

They would like there to be more study, and application against larger
populations, and they even did some math projections, if their results
could be duplicated in the larger population, that calculated the
projected better outcome for injury and death of children in street
traffic accidents.

In fact, you can test a theory with ONE as a sample, and present it, and
let others in the field go from there. They can chose to ignore your
work, or run their own replication and see what they get.

Doan is doing everything possible to confuse and divert because he knows
damn well what Embry showed.

And similar work has been done in applied psychology for years, some of
which Embry drew upon to cite in his own work -- as research experiment
study reports are must do to for professional credibility.

I have a habit of citing rather a lot myself, or hadn't you noticed.

> The "report" from my understanding of research would be the basic

That is what is submitted. If you wish "the study" which would be all
notes, charts, field records of observers, etc. then you would have to
go to, if it were a thesis or dissertation, the dissertation and thesis
stores and buy a copy. Xerox owns them.

This is neither. It was a study done for AAA and is available, according
to them, for .10 cents per page, 140 pages total. Some years back I
could not get it from that source as they simply listed it as "out of
print." Things change.

Doan will continue to criticize this "study" for something it was not
intended to be. His usual bullshit "debate," and you are falling for it.

This was not a survey. It was an experiment. They are very different in
makeup and criteria.

What I found remarkable about the "workshop" format was that even though
the parents were NOT consistently participating fully, there was STILL,
over a six month period, a sharp reduction in street entry rates by
children even with only SOME of the methods taught to parents being
used. (Down to 10% of the rate of street entries baseline prior to the
workshop).

That's a lot of lives to be saved, and injuries not happening if the
results will extrapolate. In the report Embry gives some of the criteria
needed in delivery to increase the likelihood of it working in the
larger community.

One consistent thing I found was a direct correlation between reduction
in the rate of street entries to the reduction in parental reprimands.
Less repremands equated with LESS street entries.

And most remarkable, from the DISCUSSION portion of the report, the
following:

"A parent workshop and special storybooks for their children were
effective in reducing children's entries into the street to a rate
approximately 10% of that observed during baseline." ...

and:

"The package (of materials and training) also increased parents' use of
praise and reward for safe play and children's correct identification of
photographs depicting safe play. The program reduced the rate at which
parents reprimanded their chidren for unsafe play. ... In summary, the
package succeeded in altering all the various taget behaviors of
participating children and their parents."

No, that would not be odd at all if you found yourself with a prior
study with a different name.

There was a prior study. It was reported by "Report #1. It was not the
same as this study. One might think of this one as the second phase. I
don't know Embry's thinking, but if he had not planned to go on after
the first study, what he found apparently influenced him to go on and
learn more.

But as I said, I don't know that. It's simpy speculation and logical.
It's how I would, and have proceeded. I tend, when I found something
that either confounds my beliefs, or suggests much more to the story
than I currently know, to explore more.

I am sorry if I was unclear. That's just part of sorting through things
by use of the written word.

I've not claimed you shouldn't or questioned you for doing so, only
remarked that you said you were no longer interested, but apparently
still are. I admire that.

I don't think that's quite accurate. I think I said that something you
said sounded like "Alina/Aline."

I was not pointing out that you sound the same, but that a comment very
specifically did. That has little to do with age and intelligence. How
do you know you and "Alina/Aline" are the same intelligence?

What is it you find similar? He's a fetishist trying to get you to

As for why I asked about the title, and why I've known that Doan did not
have this particular study, I quote from the same section of this one:

"The present study reveals the possibility of making durable, positive
changes in children's pedestrian-accident related behavior near their
home---better effects than obtained previously in a modeling-only
condition (Embry & Malfetti, 1980)."

So you see, THIS study followed closely on the heels of a prior study,
referred to above, and in fact elsewhere in this study report. This
study report was first published by AAA in 1981.

And as for the two populations, "observed" and "unobserved," and their
participation: "Why was their a differential rate of correct responses
to generalization probes among observed and nonobserved children,
favoring nonobserved children?" (this goes to clarify BASELINE observed
and nonobserved, not unobsered in the active portion of the experiment)

The answer in the study had to do with age. The baseline "unobserved"
children were older.
Cognition was different.

In other words, the "unobserved" were not ignored. Just not observed in
some portions.

Do get a copy of the study if you can.

I can tell you that UC Sacramento lists a copy in their library, but
unless you have privs you cannot get it. Doan could, but he is no more
interested in getting this study and honestly dealing with it than
having a broken leg.

It shoots huge holes in one of the darling arguments of the pro spanking
nonsense minded folks posted here for years.

None of them would ever try to find this study.

AAA has had the report for a very long time....1981. It's been
superceded by more research since, but NONE of that negated Embry and
Malfetti's findings. Nothing.

In fact, one day the truth will come out. That parents that reprimand,
and those that in fact use Corporal Punishment show up in the family
profile of child victims of vehicle accidents more.

In other words, they are teaching their child to run into the street.

It's just not popular to say so as yet. Embry in discussing this issue
says in regard to the one family that had a child that did NOT improve,
"Since the family profile resembled that of children who had been
involved in accidents (Backett & Johnsont, 1959), lack of success with
the family is a matter of some concern."

My own take, exactly, having worked with families since the mid-70's.
Spankers and punishers have a higher incidence of "problem" children. Of
course they say it's a "chicken or the egg" question of having to be
harsher with the more 'difficult child.'

Having turned such families around many times I've disproven that to my
own satisfaction repeatedly.

Once again. This was not a survey of the incidence of some phenomena in
a sample population. This was an experiment conducted along the standard
guidelines for such human experiments, apparently conducted with
considerable attention to ethics (as Embry's remarks show) and with an
outcome that it is said was prompted by a turnaround in Embry's own
beliefs prior to his FIRST experimental study....that spanking worked.

Embry apparently thought it did. He learned, as serious scientists so
often do, that the conventional wisdom was anything but wise.

In this study, by the way, observers were trained to track "Punishment"
which right from the page, is define as "grabbing, squeezing hard, and
spanking."

Doan has built a wondeful castle of lies, out of bits and pieces of
information, a bit of deduction, and his own imagination. He misses the
details, which I can read at my leisure from the actual report -- of
the most RECENT of the Embry studies on street entries.

And the abstract that comes with this study report #2?

Mine, the one accompanying the report opens with the line: "Children
enjoy playing outdoors, but playing around traffic leads to pedestrian
accidents." ...

The Doan abstract opens with: "A traffic safety program consisting of a
workshop for parents and the use of special storybooks with their
children was effective in reducing 13 preschool children's entries into
the street to a rate approximately 10% of that previously observed. " ...

Now of the two, I actually prefer the one Doan copied and pasted. It is
much more descriptive overall, and makes very clear he has come into
that dead end he's tried so carefully to avoid....evidence that spanking
and CP does NOT work.

He thinks he's a happy boy because he sees all kinds of ways to continue
to obfuscate, but he's wrong. He's simply taken himself out of the picture.

An EXPERIMENTAL sample of 13 is NOT an insignificant number, nor does it
call into question his reported outcomes. And there were 20 others that
were assessed...and showed also that there was an increased
understanding and response from children concerning safe play around
street traffic.

Altogether, a nightmare for the liars, and or fools that have populated
this ng in favor of and support of (Doan) spanking as a reasonable
choice for parents.

Just as other ways humans have done things for "thousands of years" and
"it worked" this barbaric and outmoded method of child control will come
to an end.

And often America is in the forefront of such changes. The law is coming.

Thanks for your input.

It's a put-on, dummyboy. And you are trying to use it to engage someone

Doan, like I said. YOU challenged ME. I agreed to debate Embry with you
WHEN you proved you had the same report I did. You refused to
participate at that point, despite many offers to, if you would admit
you lied, send you the report myself. You did't follow through.

You continued to fabricate. Your posting of an abstract shows damn well
you did not have, and still do not have the study.

You haven't sent her a copy. You didn't send "Aline/Alina" a copy, but
cause that was you sock, little boy.

And, just so you can continue to dance, and play with others over the
Embry study, I'll tell you were to get it. UC Sacramento, at Davis of
course, WERE I WENT to School for a time, says they have a listing. A
copy? I do not know.

And, you can get it for 10 cents a page, (140 pages) from AAA. Look it
up. The report I have with appendixes is only about 70+ pages, but I
presume AAA includes the workbook and or other materials.

But your time with me is up. Dance monkeyboy.

You didn't "catch me." I posted the correction myself. That's hardly

You can say anything you wish, and I'll not respond to you on the Embry

You know when you are lying. And any attempt to mislead, which you've

not.

LOL! I am more than aware of it. In fact, the study said:
"Participating families were divided into observed and non-observed
subjects on the basis of one of two factors: (a) the family had
participated in the Practical Parenting Class offered at the University,
or (b) initial baseline observations revealed a zero or near-zero rate of
entry into the street."

"Children with zero or near-zero baseline rates of entry into the street
were switched to the nonobserved participates, because little if any
experimental control over the child's behavior could be demonstrated as a
result of participation."

At the time I made that statement the AAA copies were not
available...just listed as out of print. They changed to an on demand
copy service at 10 cents a page. It was then neither a mistake or a lie.
YOU are lying.

> LIE #2:

Where did I say that? I sure didn't say there was no "reward."

I said I disagreed with Embry's characterization of the Time out
procedure as "punishment." I could hardly call it punishment if I did
not think it to BE punishment.

And that's because in the report the description in more detail of the
Sit and Watch procedure was anything but a punishment. In fact, it was
"rehearsed" with the child so it would not be seen as such by the child.

I didn't say there was no punishment, only that I disagreed with Embry
on that definition. In fact you know that's what I said because you
challenged me with "you think you are smarter than Embry?"

You've lied again, twice. Provide a citation for were I said there was
no "punishment and reward."

And you are concealing, by focusing on these irrelevant to the findings,
bits and pieces, the meat of the experiment.

By the way, when did a 13 sample size (actually comprising almost twice
that many participants...if you count ALL, the children AND their
parents) get to be irrelevant in an experiment?

This wasn't a representative sample. It was an experimental sample.

And it's been replicated. 0:-> Successfully.

Do you always made things up as you go along, Kane? Actually, the
"prior" study they talked about is the 1980 study titled:

"Alcohol Education & Traffic Safety Module for Elementary School,
Kindergarten through Sixth Grade, Field Testing Version". James L.
Malfetti, Safety Research & Education Project, Teachers College Columbia
University.

With your "formidable research skills", you should have known that, Kane!

PUNISHMENT! Is this another "MISTAKE", Kane? ;-)

Reducing the Risk of Pedestrian Accidents to Preschoolers by Parenting

Malfetti, Columbia University.

1982:

Really? Here is the actual quotes:

Doan:
He would also know that along with positive reinforcement, giving stickers for
safe play, Dr. Embry also prescribed punishment, using time-out, for unsafe
play.

Kane:
"Actually he did no such thing. He prescribed sitting and watching
other children playing safely. Dr. Embry knows how the human brain
actually works and the power of learning through modeling.

This tells me clearly you DO NOT have the study at all. "

Remember that, Kane? So who is the LIAR here? ;-)

Sure I remember. That would be both of us, yet you have failed to post
all our argument on this issue. Why is that?

Could it be because I pointed out I disagreed with one definition of
Embry as to "punishment," and agreed with another?

Does Embry not utilize "sitting and watching other children playing
safely" as part of the process? Why would sitting and watcing be a
"punishment?" It's not to me, and he describs it in non punitive terms,
which of course you are avoiding.

0:->

No Doan, you deliberately attempt to mislead and you do so by quoting
out of context and ignoring the complete argument on an issue.

Even when repeatedly reminded, as you have been on this issue, of the
larger discussion.

In other words, you are a liar. And attempts to prove another, myself,
as a liar is done by....you guessed it....lying.

Which part do you not understand in the context of what I said next? Is
that how to win an argument, Doan, to ignore the explanation and
clarification?

It's cleary how you dodge the issues.

You said, above: "Dr. Embry also prescribed punishment, using time-out,
for unsafe play."

I said, because I disagree with calling it 'punishment,' regardless of
who uses the term, you or him, that "time out for unsafe play," is the
same as "Sit and Watch." The latter is not punishment in my terms, so I
said "Actually he did no such thing."

In fact there was NO Timeout for unsafe play that was not called, "Sit
and Watch" in the context of watching other children in safe play.

That does NOT say he didn't call it punishment, but that it simply was
NOT punishment in my book.

Your command of english is overcome by your capacity for and compulsive
lying.
How delusional are you?

I did not say he didn't say so. You are lying again.

No, I did NOT say he said no such thing.

I said that he 'did' no such thing. "Sit and Watch," as I explained
later and you keep hiding our conversation on it, is not to my mind
'punishment.'

In the study methods described by him he in fact goes to considerable
lengths to not only make Sit and Watch a learning experience, but he
has his observers post it differently than 'punishment.'

If you do have the study you know perfectly well 'punishment' is
defined for coding as "grab, squeeze hard, and spank." Sit and Watch is
NOT coded as "punishment."

That is yet another reason I took exception to "time out" (Sit and
Watch being the only kidn used) being considered a punishment.

How much longer are you going to lie about this?

The context of my willingness to clarify my meaning when you challenged
it.

I pointed out clearly, and you posted it above, that I do not consider
Sit and Watch punishment. What HE calls it, we have established months
ago, I do NOT agree with. That is why I phrased my comment as I did.

I did not say he didn't "say" it. I said he didn't DO it. That plainly
state, and obviously so, by my standards.

If you did NOT understand that, then why did you challenge me as
thinking I was a smart as Embry to challenge him?

The answer, of course, is that you wish to harass, not debate. 0:->

And he even had the parents rehearse it with the children before
actually using it to reduce the likelihood of a negative reaction to
it. It was a time to sit and observe others playing safely.

Otherwise it would not say "Sit and Watch" others playing safely.

By YOUR standards, and that of others devoted to punishment models that
might appear as a 'punishment,' but not to my standards.

I would not even allow the child to presume it was punishment. Study
the study monkeyboy. Try to get out of your biases.

Then when you've given becca a copy, <smirk> try to convince here. I
don't debate the meaning with you. By the way, I paid for all copies I
gave away. Did you?

You never have before, and you haven't now.

What inter library loan?

One avaiable to the general public?

Please clarify.

By the way, have you any research available on the efficacy of
CP/Spanking as an effective long term teaching strategy for parents?

We've been waiting years, and nothing?

And yes, there is plenty of material, one of which you have now,
finally (liar), about none CP methods being more effective.

And no, we won't provide it in some format you insist it much be in.

When YOU provide real research on spanking's effectiveness your demands
will be easily met. Because, Doan, there is no such thing, nor will
there ever be. All use of pain and humiliation has been proven to be
ineffective with other variables being MORE important overall to the
responses of the subjects studied. Even Singapore is a case in point.
What "works" there does not in other places.

Spanking has been thoroughly discredited scientificially. You know it,
I know it, and the majority of those that have posted in this ng in the
past, knows it as well.

That's why, you sad, silly, anachronistic holdout, they are gone and
you have nothing left but harrassment.

Rather childish harassment at that.

All YOU can do now is harass people that come here wishing to
rationally discuss current research. You've tried it again twice with
current posts attempting to do just that.

Do you know where the saying, "the bitter end" comes from?

You, child, are at the end of your rope. The bitter end.

Yes. Just go to any public library and ask. Are you saying that you were
so stupid as to not know that? ;-)

BTW, when was the AAA Foundation list these copies as "out of print"? I
just checked with them and they said it has always been available. Can
it be that you were "mistaken"? ;-)

Kane,

Would you mind NOT comparing me to Doan, and continually saying that
in essence I am having the wool pulled over my eyes by him. In case
you haven't noticed I am an intelligient Woman who is capable of making
her own decisions. I take about half of what Doan says and let it fly,
just like I take about half of what you say and let it fly. I am
building my own opinions from what I am learning from both of you, and
what I am reading on my own.

I have one question for you...well maybe two.

You said that for an experiment 13 is enough participants or something
to that effect.

In my research in college I was taught that 50 or more participants for
an experiment, or 50 or more trials of the same experiment to gain an
accurate picture of wether the hypothesis is true or not. 13 subjects
still seems awfully small to me, that is one of the things that is
putting me off from this. I don't feel he proved his hypothesis, I
feel he "got lucky" with the outcome.

Now for my second question :-)

If the parents were not consistent, and the trial was over the course
of 6months. HOW can Dr. Embry or you or anyone else say that this
experiment proved anything? Young Children mature and learn a LOT in
6months, their reduction in street entries could be from maturing and
gaining an understanding that if you run out into the street you'll
probably end up road kill. The fact that they parents were not
consistent also says to me that the results are probably not as
accurate as they could be (esp with the small sample size)

For a "good" scientific experiement you should have a control group,
Was there one? Or was this just...hey parents do this and we're gonna
see in 6months how many of your kids run into traffic.

Okay. It did not appear as though you were before.

That depends on the nature of the experiment. Very valid experiments
have worked with about that number. Remember the infamous, but
significant experiment in applied psychology that showed that those in
a position of power, such as prison guards will in fact abuse that
power, and will follow orders to do immoral and unethical things?

No such experiment is possible now because it was so abusive and
ethical boundaries disappeared so fast, but it stands as a powerful
example and a valid experiment.

http://www.prisonexp.org/slide-1.htm

The experiment lasted only 6 days....the participants went 'bad'
(guards) so rapidly...and it had to be cancelled. Only 24 subjects were
involved. And only half, randomly chosen, were guards. That's a pretty
small sample, even by Embry's standards.

Yet it stands as a benchmark for how corruptable we humans can be in
situations were we weild such extraordinary power.

I in fact, used to use it in parenting classes to point out how very
easy it is abuse children and presume it's perfectly right to do so. We
simply have so very much power.

Really? Yet I have seen the same results on a practical basis for many
years.
I've never heard, by the way, of requirement for 50 or more trials for
validation. Nor have I heard scientific experimentation referred to
with terms such as "true."

Have you any references for a standard of 50 subjects with 50 or more
trials? That's extraordinary in social science research. No quoted
studies in this ng have ever come from such methodology, from either
side.

By looking at the results. Human subjects are not consistent in
anything much. In fact even in materials testing the samples are not
totally consistent with each other. You are setting impossible
criteria. No group can be gathered that can be controlled or guaranteed
to be consistent in their actions.

The best that can be done is to gather a generalized group wish similar
characteristics that matter. Age of child subjects in this case.

Yes, that is true.

And, the sample would all age at the same rate.

And measuring the children who recieved one level of the product
against other children how did not and the outcomes would be
significant. Possibly we should wait until you have a copy?

What I saw was that those children whose parents were somewhat
consistent in delivery of the instruction had similar outcomes....a
reduction to 10% of the street entries prior to the program. A few did
not, and those were where the mother did not use, or did not correctly
apply the program.

Please explain how one would create an experiment where the observers
did not have an untoward influence on the subjects yet could maintain
consistency of reactions and actions by the subjects.

That's not possible. This, becca, is the typical response I see from
Doan all the time. Can you see why I said you seem to be like him?

I believe it was he who once submitted the commentary of a medical
doctor about Straus' et al study on CP, insisting it was not valid
because it did not follow the rigorous discipline of health experiments
(and Straus' study was NOT even an experiment, simply an observational
survey).

The problem of course, besides the unethical demand for one kind of
research to be conducted by the rules of another that did not and
cannot apply to both kinds, was that the good doctor insisted that it
be a 'destructive' experiment.

In other words, saying we cannot learn if children turn out badly from
spanking must require that children be taken at birth, raised in exact
replicated invironments, and spanked or not on certain determined
schedules and methods. I presume at the end point they'd have to be
autopsied to measure brain weight, and characteristics.

Totally bogus demands on social science survey and experimental
studies.

In fact, that's what blew out the Standford Prisoner experiment. It was
destructive of the subjects.

Embry did a remarkable job. And he didn't have 13 subject. He had 13
FAMILIES, about twice the number of actual participants.

Both child and parents outcomes were considered. Not just the number of
street entries, but how parents handled children in parenting matters.

Oh brother.

You mean a group that in fact were allowed to go into traffic?

Yes, there WAS such a control group. It's called the number of
fatalities of toddler's in street entry accidents.

They did in fact come back in 6 months, after "we're gonna do this" and
they did count the number of attempted or actual street entries.

Were do you think the currently 10% of the prior to the program number
of street entries
came from?

I think you need the study. Are you having trouble finding it? It's
fairly cheep from AAA if you want it, or you can use the inter-library
system at your local library. We'll assume they have access to college
and university library materials.

If you have trouble getting it let me know. Or better, Doan. He seems
to think it's now easy to get. 0:->

Or do you wish to discuss it with only information coming from me?

I might make a mistake, after all, or according to Doan, lie.

You wouldn't want that, now would you?

The question you have been avoiding, Kane, is where in the study can you
find data to back up your claim:

"Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before
had children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour."

IS THIS ANOTHER "MISTAKE"? In fact the actual study said NOTHING about
spanking but reprimand. Here is the quotes:

"While some may find it strange that reprimands might increase the chances
of a child going into the street, the literature on the experimental
analysis of behavior is replete with examples of how "attention to
inappropriate behavior" increases the chances of more inappropriate
behavior. Thus, suggestions to parents that they talk to or reason with
their children about dashing into the street will likely to have the
opposite impact. Reprimands do not punish unsafe behavior; they reward
it."

Here is another chance for you to rectify your "mistake", Kane. Do the
honorable thing and apologize! ;-)

What I found telling was this:

"Children with zero or near-zero baseline rates of entry into the street
were switched to the nonobserved participates, because little if any
experimental control over the child's behavior could be demonstrated as a
result of participation."

It very much sounded like stacking the deck in favor of the results he
wanted. BTW, the study has nothing to do with spanking your kids for
running into the street!

The effect would be the opposite, dummyboy.

Children with a near zero rate would help keep the rates low. Those
children were, many of them, products of families that had done a
previous experimental study with parents already taught and practicing
the sample parenting principles. They'd have a head start on everyone
else.

Learn to read. Learn to think.

However, at least instead of harassment and your usual lying, you
managed to ask a valid question and present a reasonable challenge.

Good for you.

There's your answer. Go back and read the study and how the children
were picked.

Start your fucking harassing again, and you get ..

Are you this stupid? DO THE MATH, ignoranus kane0! Here, let me show
you:

Let say the 13 children were averaging 10 entries per hour before and
1 entry per hour after. Thus, the rate of entries is reduced to 10%
(13/130).

Are you with me so far?

Now, add in the 20 children with, say 0.4 entries before and 0.3 after.
The before average is now 130 + 20(0.4) or 138/33 =~ 4.2 and the after
avererage is 13 + 20(0.3) or 19/33 =~ .58. The rate is now only reduced
to 14%!

and I would question it's validity, of couse "some" people in
positions of power without checks and balances would abuse the power
given them...but certainly not all. I'll read the webpage you supplied

I come from a background of perhaps more scientific research. Give me
anything on Human communication, or Radio and Television broadcasting.
Even Adversiting and Public Relations. and I know what you're talking
about and what is expected in research. I don't think I said that 50
or more is required (although I may be mistaken, can't remember what I
wrote) but having 50 or more trials or subjects makes the outcome of
the work more....plausable (that may not be the word I want to use, I
have a baby on my lap so I'm not fully engaged at the moment) And
you're right the word True isn't an appropriate word. I think the word
is PROVE in order to Prove the hypothesis you must have a base from
which to build your research. A broad base (more subjects, or more
trials) builds a strong foundation to build from there.

and that is precisly why a larger pool of participants is needed.
Because you can't count on Human's being consitant. With a larger
group of participants you can weed out those who followed the protocol
exactly, somewhat, mostly, or not at all. It gives a better Idea of
what works what doesn't. And makes the research results stronger.
Having a larger participation base would help support the evidence
found in this study.

of the protocal would work for each family, there has to be room for
error. There is little room for that in a small sample size. That is
why MORE participants is needed

well that's good at least. But again not everything in the protocal
would work for all children or families. A larger sample size would be
imperitive to "truly" see accurate numbers. For this group...Yippe, but
that doesn't mean that everyone will have the same results.

If you are going to use this study as a jumping off point to "no

Of course that's not possible in such a small sample size. But in a

If you could see the big eye roll that i did when I read that...NO I
dont' mean allowing toddler to go into traffic. I mean a group that was
observed without using the protocal. A Control group is a group just
allowed to continue on their merry way. In this such experiment that
would allow the researcher to see if the number of street entries reduced
acourding to the age of the subject. As I suggested earlier We don't know
if the protocal really worked or if the kids became more aware of the
possibility of being flattened like a pancake.

I suppose if I am going to discuss this with you I'll need to get a

I do have access to a University Library, I live about 5miles from my

So, you stand prepared to support the idea of contaminated samples.

You are so easy to bait it brings tears to my eyes.

You seemed completely in love with contamination by removal when a
certain female researcher stripped away the more severe spankers in her
"study."

Baumrind was a laughing stock among attendees at that conference, Doan,
just as you are here. Imagine. One is doing a study on how children
react, antisocially, to being spanked and REMOVE the group that would
in fact show that it's true they react more antisocially.

But YOU want this particular sample contaminated in YOUR favor.

You are without honor. But then we knew that all along.

The object dummy, was to run and experiment on people that had NO prior
knowledge of the methods in the training package. And NO skills of that
particular kind.

It wasn't a survey to see how many HAD certain skills or not, but to
test if those skills could be taught and applied.

You've got rotten tofu for brains.

Mmmmhhhmmmm...yep. I read your posts and watch you stupidly fall into
traps of your own making.

YOU JUST SUPPORTED CONTAMINATED SAMPLES. And I even TOLD YOU why they
could not use those children. But away you go with your bogus
manipulated formula.

Same old shit.

Hey look at that...Doan proved something. :-) Good for you :-)

Now Kane...I know not all of us are number people (I can barely balance
