关于父母教养方式在破坏性行为问题发展中的作用的研究主要集中在父母在冲突发生后如何处理。这项家庭观察性研究调查了52名母亲为防止与3岁儿童发生冲突而采取的策略。据预测，有行为问题儿童的母亲将较少使用“积极”策略来解决冲突，并且会使用被动策略，而不是先发制人的策略。结果表明，积极策略的频率在两组之间没有差异。有行为问题孩子的母亲不太可能使用先发制人的策略，而更有可能使用反应性策略。进一步的分析表明，儿童行为问题，而不是其他特征，最能区分先发制人和反应性策略使用者。对一个子样本的跟踪发现，即使在控制了3岁的行为问题之后，3岁时的反应策略也预测了5岁的行为问题。
Research on the role of parenting styles in the development of disruptive behaviour problems has focused primarily on how parents handle conflict once it has occurred. This home observational study examined strategies used by 52 mothers to prevent conflict with 3-year-olds. It was predicted that mothers of children with behaviour problems would use fewer "positive" strategies to resolve conflict, and would use reactive rather than pre-emptive strategies. Results showed frequency of positive strategies did not differ between the groups. Mothers of children with behaviour problems were less likely to use pre-emptive, and more likely to use reactive, strategies. Further analysis showed child conduct problems, rather than other characteristics, best discriminated pre-emptive from reactive strategy users. Follow-up of a subsample found that reactive strategies at age 3 predicted age 5 behaviour problems, even after controlling for age 3 behaviour problems.
