Abstract:
This study compares the nurturing and disciplinary practices of Samoan parents living in New Zealand with those of Samoan parents living in Samoa. Mothers and fathers with two-year-old children resident in each country completed a modified version of the Parent Behavior Checklist Multivariable logistic regression revealed that fathers in NZ were less nurturing and more disciplinarian than fathers in Samoa and mothers in NZ. Older parents were less nurturing but used less harsh discipline than younger parents, more educated parents were more nurturing, and parents on lower incomes were harsher disciplinarians.

Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
