title: Discipline across generations.
abstract: The objective of this qualitative research was to understand how parents decide which discipline practices they will repeat from their childhoods. Participants chose not to repeat punishment practices when a strong, negative effect was remembered. However, some parents repeated physical punishment practices even when a strong, negative effect was remembered if they believed the practices were effective or culturally valued, if they were under stress, or if the parents lacked alternative strategies.
