Effects of a positive discipline program on parenting outcomes
This first experimental evaluation of PDEP, which is fundamentally different from behavior management interventions, indicates that the program was effective in reducing parental use of punishment-based practices and increasing proactive parenting. Additional research is warranted that uses a fully randomized design and that examines parenting effects in ways that complement self-report measures.
