“…While these studies and others (see, for example, Boeringer, Shehan, and Akers 1991;Peralta and Steele 2010;Wareham, Boots, and Chavez 2009) offer important insight into the relationship between modeling and imitation of deviant behavior, the researchers were unable to isolate a modeling effect. In order to facilitate this, the conceptual distinction between differential association and modeling must be clear.…”

Objectives: Test the effect of deviant peer modeling on theft as conditioned by verbal support for theft and number of deviant models. Methods: Two related randomized experiments in which participants were given a chance to steal a gift card (ostensibly worth CAN$15) from the table in front of them. Each experiment had a control group, a verbal prompting group in which confederate(s) endorsed stealing, a behavioral modeling group in which confederate(s) committed theft, and a verbal prompting plus behavioral modeling group in which confederate(s) did both. The first experiment used one confederate; the second experiment used two. The pooled sample consisted of 335 undergraduate students. Results: Participants in the verbal prompting plus behavioral modeling group were most likely to steal followed by the behavioral modeling group. Interestingly, behavioral modeling was only influential when two confederates were present. There were no thefts in either the control or verbal prompting groups regardless of the number of confederates. Conclusions: Behavioral modeling appears to be the key mechanism, though verbal support can strengthen the effect of behavioral modeling.

“…Retrospective recollection can be problematic because it relies on respondents to recall information accurately [42]. The problems associated with such types of data have been widely published but it is still often utilized due to affordability, convenience, and less restrictive human subjects criteria [43]. Unfortunately, this type of data collection results in making it difficult to trace patterns of transmission appropriately.…”

This study seeks to focus on the methodological concerns found in intergenerational transmission of criminal behavior studies of children of incarcerated parents. In reviewing the literature it is evident that parental incarceration has a significant impact on children but unfortunately many of the studies suffer from methodological concerns that limit the generalizability of the findings and the ability to extend the origins of the antisocial behavior across generations. The concerns include 1) the lack of reliable data available 2) small sample sizes and lack of control groups 3) lack of variation in reporters of data 4) very little information about subjects before incarceration 5) the need for data related to high risk urban populations 6) the use of retrospective data, and 7) few studies the meet the criteria outlined by Thornberry.

“…No obstante, aun en el caso de aquellos que defienden su no utilización, lo consideran, en ocasiones, necesario, señalando algunos factores desencadenantes como el estrés, el desconocimiento de prácticas disciplinarias alternativas y la transmisión intergeneracional, argumentaciones coincidentes con otros estudios que manifiestan el incremento en el uso de la disciplina punitiva ante situaciones similares (Dietz, 2000; MacKenzie y otros, 2011; Simons y Wurtele, 2010); e incluso utilizándolo con sus hijos, algunos de ellos, esporádicamente. Sus relatos se acomodan a la teoría del aprendizaje social, argumentado también por otros estudios sobre el castigo corporal (Muller, Hunter y Stollak, 1995;Simons y Wurtele, 2010;Wareham, Paquette y Chavez, 2009). Factores etiológicos todos ellos que debieran ser considerados por las políticas de infancia con el objetivo de proporcionar a los padres y madres los recursos necesarios para fomentar una parentalidad positiva.…”

RESUMENEste trabajo presenta los resultados de una investigación centrada en analizar las opiniones de los profesionales de atención a la infancia con respecto al castigo corporal. Trece trabajadores sociales de la Comunidad de Madrid han sido entrevistados para determinar sus percepciones sobre el uso del castigo corporal como estrategia educativa familiar. Para explorar sus actitudes y sentidos se utiliza el grupo de discusión, dentro del enfoque cualitativo. Los resultados muestran actitudes contradictorias entre los participantes. Se defiende la importancia de erradicar el castigo corporal, aunque se manifiesta a la vez que su empleo no tiene consecuencias negativas. Otros temas debatidos y analizados han sido: factores estresantes, transmisión intergeneracional, prácticas de crianza, eficacia atribuida y prohibición legal. De todo ello se puede concluir que el uso del castigo corporal como método de crianza no causa impresión negativa en los trabajadores sociales, apuntando a la importancia de la cultura en el mantenimiento de tales actitudes.Palabras clave: Infancia, castigo corporal, actitudes disciplinarias, trabajadores sociales, política social.Trabajo social y castigo corporal: el significado atribuido por profesionales de los servicios sociales de atención a la infancia en España
