Abstract

This study examined the association between discipline styles and reading styles among 29 mothers of 3-6 year old children. Participants were divided into two groups according to the mothers' discipline style. The results suggested that a mother's discipline style was reflected in her manner of emotional support. Sharing mothers (i.e., the opposite of authoritarian mothers) were more supportive, warm, and respectful of their children's autonomy. They listened emphatically to their children's comments and left them in the room to think alone. Conversely, authoritarian mothers responded more persuasively and gave clearer answers and clarifications. Children's behaviors also differed according to the mothers' discipline style. Children with sharing mothers explored a picture book more spontaneously by turning pages, asking questions, and expressing surprise. This study suggests that the difference between sharing and authoritarian discipline styles is manifested in the emotional domain. The present results are also discussed with regard to language development.
