Step-by-step explanation:
Baumrind identified three initial parenting styles: Authoritative Parenting, Authoritarian Parenting and Permissive Parenting.
Using Baumrind's classifications, Chinese parents have been often described as 'Authoritarian'. Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punishment-heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child's and family's perception and status. Corporal punishment, such as spanking, and shouting are forms of discipline frequently preferred by authoritarian parents. The goal of this style is to teach the child to behave, survive, and thrive as an adult in a harsh and unforgiving society by preparing the child for negative responses such as anger and aggression that the child will face if his/her behavior is inappropriate.
Authoritarian parenting has distinctive effects on children:
- Children raised using this type of parenting may have less social competence,
- Children raised by authoritarian parents tend to be conformist, highly obedient, quiet, and not very happy. For Chinese parents, the significance and meaning of this parenting style may originate from a set of cultural beliefs that may differ greatly from the European American cultural belief system, non-affectionate authoritative authoritarian overly involved.
