A CLASSIFICATION SCHEME FOR DISCIPLINE - TYPE, MODE OF ADMINISTRATION, CONTEXT

This paper reviews research related to parental disciplinary practices and presents a classification scheme discipline that separates discip line into the type and the mode of administration used. Previous resea rch has not kept important constructs related to discipline distinct a nd has ignored some types of discipline, as well as the mode of admini stration. The classification scheme presented is meant to try to foste r conceptual clarity, to advocate for attention to important aspects o f disciplinary practices in Suture research, and to lay the groundwork for development of additional measurement tools - particularly for su rvey design research.
