Abstract
The relationship of culture, personality traits, and punitive child-re aring practices to machismo was examined in 40 Guyanese and 40 Caucasi an parents with children aged four to 12 years. Guyanese parents were found to adhere more strongly to machista attitudes and beliefs and to employ controlling, authoritarian, and punitive child-rearing techniq ues more often than did Caucasian parents.
