Hasn’t this been known for a long time? It’s called transference

So you are telling me that when children see their parents solve problems with violence, they learn to solve their own problems with violence? <img alt="" src="https://media.makeameme.org/created/so-youre-telling-04bcc83b93.jpg">

well you should have not been different.

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.

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.

I was thinking exactly this. Thank you for stating it first.

TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 15:29 collapse

or maybe we should just hit those people and see what happens?

empirical research at it’s finest.

Our broken socioeconomic system rewards petty-warlord-like behavior.
