Parental discipline style: Relation of physical punishment and emotion socialization to adaptive and maladaptive child outcomes
by Morgan, Judith Kirstin, M.A., UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE, 2007, 56 pages; 1444647

Abstract:

The relation of emotion coaching, expressiveness/sensitivity, and physical punishment to 3 child outcomes was examined with 54 mothers and their 2 to 5 year old children. After accounting for the perceived normativeness of physical punishment, sadness emotion coaching was related to less aggressive behavior and less anxious depressed behavior, anger emotion coaching was related to higher socioemotional functioning and more aggressive behavior, and physical punishment was related to more aggressive behavior. These findings were significant only with those parents who perceived the normativeness of physical punishment to be low. In the high perceived normativeness group, none of the predictor variables were related to socioemotional functioning, anxious depressed behavior, or aggressive behavior in children.
