Abstract
A review of developmental psychology reflects vigorous research concerning the relationships between parental behavior and attitudes and child personality and behavior.The research findings are generally consistent in demonstrating that the child's familial experiences are prime determinates of his personality. Within this context, there is mounting evidence of the pervasive and dramatic effects of early experience on later development. The significance of the attitudes and conceptions. which parents exhibit toward their children is aptly illustrated by Schulman, Shoemaker and MQelis (1962). In a study of conduct problem children and non-conduct problem children, they found that the parents of conduct problem children displayed parental rejection and hostile attitudes to a significantly greater degree than did the parents of normal children.
