Though observation of children and parents and high or low levels of warmth and control.

Authoritative parents (high warmth, high control) set clear limits, enforce rules, and expect mature behavior. But they are warm with their children. They listen to concerns, given reasons for rules and allow more democratic decision making. There is less strict punishment and more guidance Parents help children think through the consequences of their actions.

Authoritarian parents (low warmth, high control) seem cold and controlling in their interactions with their children. The children are expected to be mature and to do what the parent says, "Because I said so" There is not much talk about emotions. Punishments are strict, but not abusive. The parents love their children, but they are not openly affectionate.

Permissive parents (high warmth, low control) are warm and nurturing, but they have few rules or consequences for their children and expect little in the way of mature behaviour because They are just kids".
