To illustrate this relationship, research was conducted measuring the degree and type of punishment that 84 adult participants would allocate for both civic and household offenses. Level of punishment was compared with the perceived parenting styles of the respondents' parents, as measured by Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ). The adult children of the authoritative fathers issued significantly more severe punishments with both civic (M = 5.5 authoritative; M = 4.6 non-authoritative) and household offenses (M = 4.6 authoritative; M = 2.98 nonauthoritative).
