Cross-sectional study shows no significant relationship between authoritarian parenting and child development, suggesting other factors influence outcomes.
Key Points
Results indicate a very weak negative correlation (r = -0.007) between authoritarian parenting and child development.
The study involved 60 parents of children aged 3–7 years, highlighting the contextual variability of parenting effects.
Data was analyzed using a quantitative approach, specifically employing Pearson correlation for statistical analysis.
Implications suggest that effective child development strategies should consider external factors beyond parenting styles.
