Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to replicate parts of two previous studies conducted by Dunham (1962) and Dunham and Furey (unpublished) in which it was found that scores on a Discipline Orientation Questionnaire (DOG) which was presumed to measure maternal love-oriented discipline was related to performance on two operant tasks. In the first study, fourth grade girls who had reported that their mothers used love-oriented discipline less often pulled the lever on a box more times per minute than did fourth grade girls who reported that their mothers used love-oriented discipline more often. In the second study, the reverse obtained. Fourth grade boys and girls who reported that their mothers used love-oriented discipline more often worked harder at filling in circles than did boys and girls who reported that their mothers used love-oriented discipline less often.
