- Description:
- This exploratory-descriptive study examined the relationship between parental styles of African American mothers and conduct-disordered behavior, specifically aggression, in their children. The parents were asked to fill out a 40 item questionnaire to determine which aggressive behaviors their child engaged in, and which parental styles they used to deter their child's aggressive behavior. The non-probability sample was used. The sample consisted of a total of 31 African American mothers between 21 and 50. Chi Square results indicated that there was a statistically significant correlation between the parental styles of African American mothers and their children's conduct-disordered behavior. Bivariate analysis was utilized to further explore the correlation between individual questions related to the variables. A two-tailed T-Test was also utilized to determine if there were any significant correlations of .05 or better between variables.
