The Comparison of Verbal Control Modes used by Fathers or Mothers toward Their Children

The purpose of this study is to compare the verbal control modes used by fathers or mothers toward their children. The subjects of this study are 148 fathers and 159 mothers whose children attend kindergartens. For data analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation, and tow-way ANOVA were used. The major findings are as follows: First, the status-oriented verbal control mode was most frequently used by both fathers and mothers, while the order-oriented verbal control mode was used less frequently by parents. Second, both fathers and mothers used three verbal control modes more often toward boys than toward girls. Third, the comparison of verbal control modes between fathers and mothers revealed that mothers, rather than fathers, used three verbal control modes more frequently toward their children. Fourth, mothers with higher education, rather than fathers with higher education, used the status-oriented verbal control mode and personality-oriented verbal control mode more frequently toward their children.
