The chief aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between authoritarian parenting style and obedience among the middle class of mainland China, meanwhile determining the effect of self-esteem as an intermediate between two variables. We will replicate the Milgram experiment on obedience in this study with a few altered conditions and the self-esteem questionnaire that Rosenberg developed. Derived from results presented in former research, our study suggests that there exists a correlation between authoritarian parenting style and obedience. Additionally, both variables have a significant relationship with self-esteem.
