Abstract

Using the expanded typology of parenting styles introduced by Simons et al. (2013) that includes corporal punishment and self-report data collected from a sample of Chinese adolescents, this study assesses the relative effectiveness of the various styles on three youth development outcomes: delinquency, depression, and school engagement. Results indicate that the benefit of authoritative parenting and the detriment of abusive parenting seem to be culturally invariant for outcomes like delinquency, depression, and school engagement. Further, the effect of corporal punishment may vary by “the constellation of parenting behaviors within which it is embedded and upon the type of outcome being considered” (Simons et al., 2013: 1284). Implications are discussed.
