Abstract: The major purpose of the study was to describe parents' perceptions of their discipline of their children in relation to specific demographic factors in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. The specific demographic factors were age, sex and birth order of the child, the parents' ages and education, and the amount of time the child spent each day with each parent. The basic research design was one in which information from a questionnaire was used to describe parents' perceptions of their discipline of their preschool children in relation to the above-named demographic factors in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. Subjects were 180 children, ages 15 months to 59 months, and their parents, studied in three separate groups across 15 years.
