The reported research is a quantitative study examining the
effect of parental discipline style and its four dimensions—Demandingness,
Enforcement, Punishment and Responsiveness—on mothers' perceptions of their
children's social skills and learning motivation. The sample consisted of 99
mothers and 129 children aged 8–12 years. It was found that each of the four
dimensions of parental discipline style was positively correlated with learning
motivation and social skills after controlling for sociodemographic background
variables. Learning motivation was the most strongly and positively correlated
with Enforcement and most weakly correlated with Demandingness, whereas social
skills were most strongly positively correlated with Responsiveness and most
weakly correlated with Enforcement. Responsiveness was found to be the major
predictor of learning motivation as well as social skills, and was strongly and
positively correlated with both.
