N2  - Two samples (pairwise matched in terms of sex of child, age of child, and fathers' education) of fathers from Sweden (n=50) and the US (n=50) respectively were interviewed about their use of parental discipline when in conflict with their 38-66-month-olds. The results show that, compared with US fathers, Swedish fathers display a range of disciplining approaches from punitive reprimands (i.e., behaviour modification and physical punishment) to restrictive control approaches (i.e., verbal control and physical restraint). No difference was found between Swedish and US fathers in terms of their general tendency to assert compliance when their children misbehave.<p />
