Well, your syntax is a little garbled, but I agree with what I think you’re saying. The authors of this study seem to think that the punishment causes the misbehavior, rather than the opposite.

I do think it would be important to understand the definition of corporal punishment. It is in not difficult to understand how a beating versus a smack on the rear are not the same.

I should also add, I have always believed that if you have to hit a kid repeatedly you suck as a parent.

Spanking absolutely causes misbehavior.

It destroys the relationship between the child and parent.

It fills the child with fear and rage.

An angry, mistrustful child is a child who will misbehave.

I despise people who spank their children. They often get what they deserve from their children.
