“Discipline Responses Influences of Parents' Socioeconomic Status, Ethnicity, Beliefs About Parenting, Stress, and Cognitive-Emotional Processes”

In the September, 2000 “Journal of Family Psychology”, several hypotheses relating to Parental discipline practices that are integral in theories of children's socialization, are explored. Many parents' use of physical punishment with their child is of special interest, but is not pertaining to the child’s best interest. Numerous theories play a role for physical punishment in the development of antisocial behavior in children. This study tested direct and indirect contributions of socioeconomic status to discipline responses, direct and indirect contributions of ethnicity to discipline responses. The study, part of a longitudinal investigation of child development, used cross-sectional data. Parents' responses to multiple hypothetical vignettes involving child misbehavior, were the measure of discipline responses.
