Document Summary
The following are diana baumrind"s (1967) original descriptions of parenting styles: Authoritarian to shape, control, and evaluate the behavior and attitudes of the child in accordance with a set of standards of conduct, usually an absolute standard, theologically motivated and formulated by a higher authority. She [the parent] values obedience as a virtue and favors punitive, forceful measures to curb self-will at points where the child"s actions of beliefs conflict with what she thinks is right conduct. She believes in inculcating such instrumental values as respect for authority, respect for work, and respect for the preservation of order and traditional structure. She does not encourage verbal give and take, believing that the child should accept her word for what is right. Children of authoritarian parents tend to be anxious and withdrawn and to have an unhappy disposition. They have poor reactions to frustration (i. e. , they may give up or become hostile).
