Text

target child could receive a score of 4 points per item if both parents had engaged in that behavior more than once per month during both age ranges. The highest possible score for “physical discipline” was 24, and the highest score observed in the sample was 19. Readers should note that this variable is different from a measure of discipline previously reported for the Child Development Project sample (Lansford, Deater-Deckard, Dodge, Bates, & Pettit, 2004).
