Examining African American Young Adult Child Discipline Experiences
The disciplinary practices of African American parents are well documented in the social science literature. The type or choice of disciplinary methods are often influenced by the characteristics of the child, culture, and the wellbeing of the parent-child relationship. The purpose of this study was to explore the ways African American young adults had been disciplined by their parents during childhood. The findings from this investigation provide an important corrective to the presumption that African American parents are preoccupied with using child abusing discipline.
