尽管有证据表明环境（以及基因）导致了这些行为的个体差异，但关于养育对儿童外化行为问题发展的影响程度和重要性的争论仍在继续。研究表明，严厉的体罚与儿童攻击和行为问题之间存在关联，这可能是一种因果机制，可能是一种共同的环境因素。我们提出了关于纪律实践与儿童外化问题之间关系的四个假设，这些假设可能会解决同样的争论，并有助于更全面地理解纪律实践如何以及何时会产生实质性的影响。纪律与儿童攻击之间的关系包含一个非线性的成分。父母行为与孩子行为的联系在不同的文化群体中有所不同。父母管教对孩子的影响因更广泛的亲子关系的背景而异。在同性亲子双体中，管教效果最大。讨论的重点是儿童纪律经验的心理表征作为纪律效应的中介的作用，并指出了关于抽样、测量和分析策略的研究意义。
Debate continues regarding the magnitude and importance of parenting effects on the development of children's externalizing behavior problems, in, spite of the evidence that environments (as well as genes) contribute to individual differences in these behaviors. Research has demonstrated an association between harsh physical discipline and child aggression and conduct problems, a likely causal mechanism that probably operates as a shared environmental factor. We offer four hypotheses about the relation between discipline practices and child externalizing problems that may resolve same debate and help lead toward a more comprehensive understanding of how and when discipline practices will make a substantial difference:1. The association between discipline and child aggression includes a nonlinear component.2. The parent behavior-child behavior link varies across cultural groups.3. Parental discipline effects on children vary according to the context of the broader parent-child relationship.4. The discipline effect is maximized in same-gender parent-child dyads.Discussion focuses on the role of children's mental representations of discipline experiences as a mediator of discipline effects, and research implications with respect to sampling, measurement, and analytic strategies are noted.
