Abstract
The objective of this study consisted on determining whether training parents of preschool children on rearing practices would modify harsh disciplinary practices as well as some potential predictors of these practices, such as anger-aggression and stress of parents, children’s stress and behavioral problems, as well as parent-child stress. Sixty parents (41 moms and 19 dads) answered the corresponding questionnaires. The sample was randomly divided into an experimental group (EG), exposed to parent training, and a control group without training (CG). Parents answered the same questionnaires 10 weeks later. Hierarchical regression analysis (HRA) showed that parent-child stress and behavioral problems were the main predictor variables of disciplinary practices (p < .01) in the total sample. In the second assessment, results indicated significant changes in disciplinary practices and all the variables for the EG, but not for the CG. In addition, HRA performed on the CG and the EG pointed out the importance of parental anger-aggression as a variable predictive of disciplinary practices. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of modifying harsh disciplinary practices and their negative effects on children, as well as the proper use of cognitive-behavioral techniques to modify negative relationships between parents and children.
