Everyday Rules for Behavior: Mothers' Requests to Young Children.

Gralinski, J. Heidi; Kopp, Claire B.

Developmental Psychology, v29 n3 p573-84 May 1993

Mothers of toddlers and preschoolers reported rules for everyday behaviors and noted their child's level of compliance. Results showed (1) commonalities among mothers in the network of rules being socialized; (2) high child compliance in situations involving rules for safety and other's possessions; and (3) an age-related movement from external control to internally mediated compliance.
