Parental Control and DisciplineThe differences in parental control distribution were explored (which was conceptualized as teaching children's rules) and the demand of immediate obedience. PAiNK scalę was used to assess the level of parental control and discipline. The sample consisted of two groups of preschool children's parents. Children were 4 to 6 years old. The whole sample consisted of 204 people, 51 mothers and 51 fathers of „difficult" children and 51 fathers and 51 mothers of well-behaved children. The research was carried out in Poland's three big cities: Warsaw, Cracow and Częstochowa. Hypotheses were presented that parents of "difficult" children would achieve higher scores in demanding immediate obedience, parents of well-behaved children would achieve higher scores in parental control. Two way multivariate Analysis of Yariance (MANOYA) confirmed research hypotheses: the distribution of parental control differs in both groups. Ań interaction effect between parental role and upbringing difficulty for obedience demanding yariable was discovered. Outcomes demonstrate crucial role of explanations and time in assimilating rules.
