Journal Article
Punitive parenting and delinquency: The mediating role of short-term mindsets
2018
Overview
Drawing from life history theory and developmental perspectives, we test the hypothesis that the
relation between parental discipline practices and delinquency is explained in part by short-term
mindsets. We argue that such practices induce an orientation towards the here-and-now rather than the future, which, in turn, promotes delinquency. We used longitudinal data (N = 1,197) from the Zurich Project on the Social Development from Childhood into Adulthood (z-proso). We distinguished between two types of disciplining practices, corporal and inconsistent punishment, which map onto two main environmental parameters, harshness and unpredictability. Results show that short-term mindsets, operationalized by impulsivity and low future orientation, mediate the relation between corporal and erratic punishment and delinquency, with impulsivity being the most important mediator.
