Psychological Reports, 2013

Recollections of physical discipline as absent, age-delimited (ages 2–11), or present into adolescence were associated with youths' evaluations of their mothers' and fathers' parenting styles and their own adjustment. Data were from the Portraits of American Life Study–Youth (PALS–Y) a diverse, national sample of 13- to 18-year-olds ( N = 158). The modal experience of youth with authoritative parents was age-delimited spanking; the modal experience of youth with permissive parents was no spanking; the modal experience of youth with authoritarian or disengaged parents was physical discipline into adolescence. The age-delimited group reported the best adjustment (less maladjustment than the adolescent group; greater competence than both other groups).

Parental discipline and psychological wellbeing of adolescents

Parents at their level provide care and education related to personal and social norms to their children. Discipline is a type of strategy parents use to discourage inappropriate behavior and accomplish compliance from their children. Disciplining adolescence is more challenging because at this stage they go through various biological and psychological challenges. Adolescents are argumentative and have lesser experience. During this vulnerable stage parents' failure to provide care and attention will affect adversely on their development including their wellbeing. Present study aimed to explore the relationship between disciplining techniques used by parents and psychological wellbeing of adolescents. To assess disciplining techniques five point rating scale was developed which consisted twenty statements. Based on selected dimensions of psychological wellbeing, only eighteen items measuring Autonomy, Positive relations with others and self-acceptance were selected from Ryff's psychological wellbeing scale. The study was conducted on total 242 adolescents both boys and girls age range varying between 13 and 18 years. Pearson's correlation was computed to correlate eight disciplining techniques used by parents and three dimensions of psychological wellbeing of adolescents. In case of psychological aggression r values-.196 and-.294 exhibited significant negative correlation with positive relation with others and self-acceptance respectively. Time out, corporal punishment and penalty also confirmed significant negative correlation with positive relation with others and self-acceptance.

Boys' and girls' perceptions of parental discipline in transgression situations

Infant and Child Development, 2003

Children's perceptions of parental discipline methods and their perceptions of child gender differences in their parents' choices of discipline methods were assessed. One hundred and seventy 8year-old children (78 boys, 92 girls) in two-parent families were asked about disciplinary behaviour in five transgression situations. The results pointed to gender differences when the children were talking about themselves. Boys believed that they would receive more physical punishment, milder requests and less induction than girls. Children also indicated that their parents would choose a different response if they (themselves) were of the other sex. Both boys and girls reported that their parents would treat boys more severely than they would girls. The results showed that the responses of those children with a sibling of the other sex did not reveal any gender-differentiated experience of their parents' discipline strategies.

Deciding on Discipline: The Importance of Parent Demeanor in the Transmission of Discipline Practices

Social Sciences

Although child abuse is a social problem in the United States, many cases go unreported because there is not a consensus as to what disciplinary actions are deemed abusive. Thus, it is paramount to understand the demarcation between physical punishment and physical abuse among parents and their use of certain forms of discipline. This study examines how discipline experienced by adolescent respondents affects their choice of discipline practices in adulthood. A random sample of residents was selected from three South Carolina counties using the 2016 state voter registration list. Respondents were mailed a survey asking questions pertaining to their disciplinary practices and experiences. Analyses were conducted using the ordinary least squares regression.

However, adding parenting traits into the model revealed a mediation effect...
