Introduction Parental discipline techniques have long been of interest to mental health professionals. Key reasons for this are discipline encounters present children with an important learning context of how to control themselves and others (Pettit and Bates 1989), and compelling evidence has demonstrated the crucial role of effective discipline techniques in promoting optimal child development (Kendziora and O’Leary 1993). Consequently, a major aim of many parenting interventions for preventing and treating children’s behavior problems is to promote or teach skillful discipline behavior (for a review,see Woolfenden et al. 2001). This usually consists of disseminating information about evidence-based discipline techniques or training parents to use them (e.g., McMahon and Forehand 2003). In this paper, discipline techniques
(DTs) refer to methods used to promote prosocial behavior or discourage misbehavior in the context of a discipline encounter. Discipline effectiveness has generally been defined in two different ways in the literature. Researchers with the cognitive approach consider effective DTs as those which promote intemalization the voluntary adoption of moral values, attitudes, and/or requests of the discipline agent (e.g., Grusec and Goodnow 1994; Hoffman 1983; Kochanska I995), while researchers with a behavior-modification perspective consider DTs which increase immediate compliance and/or
