More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. 超过800名2到4岁的孩子首先进行测试。
More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. 另一组为700多名5到9岁的孩子
The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. 这个组孩子四年后再次进行测验,测验结果同第一次测验进行比骄。
Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. 每个测试小组都有被父母进行过体罚的孩子和没有受到过体罚的孩子。
The study says the IQs -- or intelligence quotients -- of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. 研究称没有受到过体罚的年幼些孩子的智商比受到过的高%。
