Michael, I think you'll find that the Scandinavian countries comfortably outdo the U.S. in this respect, as well as some other European countries.

Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2010 07:01:39 -0200 Comfortable/uncomfortable,eh! What's that? This must be the touchy feely aspect of Britt's research paradigm.It should not be a matter of whether one is uncomfortable with research findings.However we are talking about methodology flaws and although reliability can have a high degree of internal consistency,whether the findings has any external validity is a different story. It is well known that spanking is the most universal method of correcting behavior on the planet and does not produce any irreparable harmful effects.It is probably only in the U.S that spanking is viewed as negative and lots of the blame can be placed on U.S psychology.There is a penchant,in the U.S ,to anticipate vague premonitions of disaster in certaun behavioral parameters that never come to fruition.
