Question

A psychologist reports that authoritative parents tend to have well-behaved children. before we conclude that parenting style influences children's personality, what should we check?​ ​are the results similar for older children? ​are the results the same in all parts of the country? ​are the results similar for less-educated parents? ​are the results similar for adopted children?

Answer 1

Yes, many factors must be considered before concluding that authoritative parents are effective in raising up well-behaved children. However, the fact that kids are able to submit to authorities at home give them that quality that can only be found in well-behaved children, the "submission" ability. If they are able to submit to their parents, they are able to submit to any authority placed on them.
