Fan, Jieqiong, and Li-fang Zhang. "The role of perceived parenting styles in thinking styles." Learning and Individual Differences 32 (2014): 204-211.cd9
The article by Fan and Li is based on how parenting techniques influence both the thinking and behavior of children as they grow up. Through building on initial research, the authors compared thoughts and actions of children growing up in environments where parents were frequent spankers and those disciplined through non-violent methods. The 2014 publication was important as it set the stage for further examination and discussion.
The discussed work is critical in answering the question as it critically examines the direct and indirect effects of spanking children.
The comparisons provide a basis for further analysis. From the results, the lesser the child`s level of distress or fear, the higher the chances for positive outcomes. The analysis provides vital information in understanding the relationship between spanking and disciplining children.

This will be essential as it provides two sides of the topic without neglecting either.

Religiosity and parenting by Goeke and Cummings is a journal article that provides a unique perspective to the topic of spanking and disciplining. The main argument is based on the Bible`s support of spanking in a bid to straighten children. Information is obtained from the Bible which is used as the main reference for the paper.
By analyzing the role of religion in parenting, the article ventures into a less researched discussion.
The Bible advocates for necessary spanking in numerous verses. Therefore, children from religious backgrounds are at increased chances of regular spankings. The paper examines how the role of spanking has diminished over the years and whether it is important in disciplining children. This will provide necessary on some positives of spanking if there exists any
