* Authoritarian parents shape and control their children's behavior according to a set standard that emphasizes obedience and uses punitive measures for misbehavior.
* Authoritative parents know they have more knowledge, skill, control, resources, and physical power than their children, but believe rights are reciprocal and explain rules and are willing to listen to the child's point of view.
* Permissive parents exert less control because they believe children must learn from their own mistakes or because they do not have the time to discipline, thus giving their children considerable freedom.
* Children of authoritarian parents tend to be less sociable and friendly and more withdrawn than other children.

* Children of authoritative parents have good social skills and are well-liked, independent, and cooperative.
