Discipline across generations

Abstract

The objective of this qualitative research was to understand how parents decide which discipline practices they will repeat from their childhoods. Participants chose not to repeat punishment practices when a strong, negative effect was remembered. However, some parents repeated physical punishment practices even when a strong, negative effect was remembered if they believed the practices were effective or culturally valued, if they were under stress, or if the parents lacked alternative strategies.
