So you are telling me that when children see their parents solve problems with violence, they learn to solve their own problems with violence?
Nope.
People will definitely reply about how obvious this is and how we already knew it. But research improving empirical knowledge about any links in any field is still valuable.
Absolutely. One of the reasons why replication studies are so valuable, yet they rarely get any news coverage.
or maybe we should just hit those people and see what happens?
empirical research at it's finest.
I was thinking exactly this. Thank you for stating it first.
I wonder what else can be done with it. We culturally rejected hitting since the late 80s as a solution. Yet here we are. 40 years later.
nothing. you can't control individuals behaviors in their own homes. that is where this is going on.
and you can be assured the people doing the violence are 100% against in it in public. and the loudest ones... most likely are the abusers, because people project their shame loudly and proudly.
Maybe some sort of longitudinal studies about long term effects. Who knows? But each datum helps.
Hasn't this been known for a long time? It's called transference

Our broken socioeconomic system rewards petty-warlord-like behavior.
It's as if having an economic system that gamifies the worst aspects of humanity is a bad idea. 🤔
B- but it's human nature! You're evil by nature! That's why you should let me put a leash on you, and watch everything you do. It's for your own good, you evil spawn of Satan!
Kinda kinky, actually.
Who would have thought terrible people come out on top in a terrible system...
Ha, joke's on them!
I also got bullied at school
well you should have not been different.
Really it's on me
Then they're not getting hit enough.
