Recent reviews have suggested an association between discipline experienced in childhood and the development of later psychopathology. As part of a longitudinal study of the health and development of a large sample of New Zealand children, maternal reports of strict and inconsistent discipline were obtained when the sample members were aged 7 and 9 years. It was found that inconsistency was associated with early behaviour problems, but strictness was not. At age 15 years the prevalence of DSM-III disorders in the sample was established. Univariate analyses showed significant associations between inconsistency and low levels of strictness with externalizing disorder. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that in the presence of other predictor variables including childhood problem behaviour, these associations only approached significance. However, when the two ratings were combined, rates of disorder for those who experienced more relaxed and inconsistent discipline were double the rates found in the sample remainder. No significant association was found between discipline and internalizing disorder.
近期的综述表明，童年时期所经历的管教方式与日后精神病理学的发展之间存在关联。作为对大量新西兰儿童健康与发展的纵向研究的一部分，在样本成员7岁和9岁时，收集了母亲关于严格管教和不一致管教的报告。研究发现，管教方式不一致与早期行为问题相关，但严格管教则不然。在15岁时，确定了样本中符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）标准的疾病患病率。单变量分析显示，管教方式不一致和低程度的严格管教与外化障碍之间存在显著关联。逻辑回归分析表明，在存在包括儿童期问题行为在内的其他预测变量的情况下，这些关联仅接近显著水平。然而，当将这两种评分结合起来时，经历更宽松和不一致管教的儿童的疾病发生率是样本中其他儿童的两倍。未发现管教方式与内化障碍之间存在显著关联。
