This statement is true.

Authoritarian parenting is characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. Parents with authoritarian style have very high expectations of their children and the children' mistakes are punished harshly. The parents don't provide warmth or comfort and the children are often afraid of them.

As a result of such style of parenting, the children tend to be productive in school but they lack or have fewer social skills. Being criticized so much, they have low self - esteem and have problems relating with others. They don't know how to stand up for themselves and they fear any type of conflict. They may also display aggressive behavior outside their homes as a way to get rid of their bottled up emotions. They struggle with self control because they don't know how to make decisions on their own.
