Abstract

Abstract Authoritarian parenting refers to a strict parenting style originally identified by developmental psychologist and parenting researcher Diana Baumrind (1967). Baumrind classified parenting styles based on two dimensions (warmth/support and control) and identified three key styles of parenting as antecedents to children's behavior: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. The authoritarian parenting style is characterized by parental use of high levels of control behaviors and showing low levels of warmth and support. Authoritarian parents tend to be restrictive, allow little input from children, and provide little reasoning behind rules and regulations. However, research has found a lack of consistency in negative outcomes across culture and subcultures.
