Will, I don't think it universally implies a temper. There are parents that do not strike in anger. My mother never hit me in anger.
Regardless of the anger, it simply isn't necessary. There are methods that are equally, if not more, effective that do not require striking your children. The difficulty with these methods is that they require parents to do more work than some appear to want to do.
Hitting your kids is the easy way but, as has been pointed out above, it requires a parent to rule by fear of pain rather than rule through respect.
