Diana Baumrind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diana Baumrind (born in 1927) is a clinical and developmental psychologist.
Baumrind was born into a small Jewish community in New York. She completed her A.B. in Psychology and Philosophy at Hunter College, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
She is a clinical and developmental psychologist at the Institute of Human Development, University of California, Berkeley.[1] She is known for her research on parenting styles[2][3] and for her critique of deception in psychological research, especially Stanley Milgram's controversial experiment.[4][5][6]
Her parenting styles were based on two aspects of parenting that she found to be extremely important. The first was "Parental responsiveness", which refers to the degree the parent responds to the child's needs. The second was "Parental demandingness" which is the extent to which the parent expects more mature and responsible behavior from a child.
She has studied the effects of corporal punishment on children, and has concluded that mild corporal punishment has no detrimental effect.[7]
