研究表明，非洲裔美国人(AA)家庭比欧洲裔美国人(EA)家庭存在更高水平的威权主义育儿方式，而且专制态度可能与AA家庭比EA家庭更积极的结果有关。然而，人们对AA家庭中的专制态度和孩子的发展知之甚少。这项针对50名非裔美国母亲及其3岁孩子的小组内研究考察了母亲的专制态度、观察到的母亲设置限制的策略和儿童在设置限制的互动中的自我调节之间的联系。研究结果表明，尽管AA家庭可能比EA家庭持有更多的专制态度，但两个种族的专制态度对儿童结果的影响方向似乎是相同的。在这个样本中，当检验相对于其他AA母亲的专制态度时，更少或更低的专制态度与权威性限制行为(在总体温暖和反应的背景下的坚定限制)和更好的孩子的自我调节有关。
Research suggests that higher levels of authoritarian parenting exist in African American (AA) families than in European American (EA) families, and that authoritarian attitudes may be associated with more positive outcomes in AA families than EA families. However, less is known about authoritarian attitudes and children's development within AA families. This within-group study of 50 African American mothers and their 3-year-old children examined associations between maternal authoritarian attitudes, observed maternal limit-setting strategies, and children's self-regulation during a limit-setting interaction. The findings indicate that while AA families may hold more authoritarian attitudes than EA families, the direction of effect of authoritarian attitudes on children's outcomes appears to be the same in both ethnic groups. In this sample, when examining AA authoritarian attitudes relative to those of other AA mothers, less or lower authoritarian attitudes were associated with authoritative limit-setting behavior (firm limits within the context of overall warmth and responsiveness) and better children's self-regulation.
