Effects of P.E.T. on Authoritarian Attitudes toward Child-Rearing in Parents and Non-Parents

Abstract

Changes in authoritarian attitude toward child-rearing were examined in 13 women who received standard Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.), 13 who only read the P.E.T. book, or 15 who did neither. Both parents and non-parents receiving P.E.T. expressed significantly less authoritarian attitudes on the posttest, while in the book-reading group only parents showed a comparable significant change. Parents receiving P.E.T. showed significantly greater changes than non-parents receiving P.E.T.; and, non-parents receiving P.E.T. did not change significantly more than parents who only read the P.E.T. book.
