I believe the correct answer is low self-esteem, low self-worth, inferiority complexes, aggression, lack of trust and social skills.

Psychologist Diana Baumrind described four different types of parenting styles: authoritative (democratic), authoritarian, permissive and neglectful. Authoritarian parenting style is characterized as highly demanding and directive. Parents who use this style expect children to behave like adults and are indifferent to child’s needs. They provide structures and rules, and they expect children to accept their judgment without doubt, even though they are not always clearly communicated. Therefore, the effects are leave on children are of emotional and social nature and they might be long lasting such as low self-esteem, low self-worth, inferiority complexes, aggression, lack of trust and social skills.
