No 100 percent proof? Of course. Because all the evidence points towards positive reinforcement.
erm...no. If positive reinforcement is the only way, then negative reinforcement as a term in psychology textbook will have no meaning at all. We dont hold absolute way in dealing out reinforcement. Positive/negative reinforcement, both are meant to mold a behavior intended.
There no such things as positive reinforcement is the only way to deal with human. At least my lecturers not lying.

Youare beating something that don't even understand why they're being beaten.
They cant understand reason definitely. But to a certain extent, they will know when you stop dish out the reinforcement also the time they stop doing something.

What they learn? To be afraid of you. Not whether their past actions are right and wrong.
erm... no? at least my pets and my babies still want papa.

so abuse leads to more abuse. Kids grow up with beatting being a norm turn out abusive themselves.
Agreed. Thats why one must draw the line when they use force. But it is not easy.
Generational changes also another issue. Kids these days are different from us.

Many studies performed already, whether want to change your mind or still continue with the savage ways justifying abuse is okay, I dunno what to say other than get help
If beat beat ass which basically cushioned by pampers is considered abuse, then i think this is where our discussion can stop. Cause our experience differ too much.
