N2  - This study examined the relationships among maternal rules, child compliance, and the injury experience of preschool children. To do so, 278 mothers of 3-year-old children were interviewed, mothers and children were videotaped, and medical records were reviewed. Results indicated that mothers' observed rule enforcement and children's committed compliance were inversely related to injury experience. The authors concluded that it is not the number or self-reported insistence on rules that are associated with injuries. Rather, it is only the mother's follow-through even in situations in which there was no perceived risk of injury that has an impact. Rules must be enforced and compliance encouraged in a manner that supports the development of autonomously motivated behavior.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
