Children who are more aggressive and defy their parents get spanked morehttps://twitter.com/DebiecJacek/status/725168956605124608 …

@KirkegaardEmil Completely agreed. Sadly, that's not the way it is being spun
@JProtzko Next-up: spouse battering. Same methodological problem.

@KirkegaardEmil It'd be interesting to know if there's a difference in correlations in children between step-parent spanking vs. bio parent -
@JProtzko There is surely. The most common child killer is mother's new boyfriend (strong evolutionary reason for that). -
@KirkegaardEmil true, but if the link of spaning and aggression only holds in bio parents it may not be evocative but common genes -
@JProtzko As I said, gene-gene correlation. ;) Same may be true for spouse fighting; I seem to recall there is assor-mating for aggression.
