Abstract
"In order to ascertain the generality of norms of permissiveness in child rearing, data . . . on primitive cultures from all parts of the world were examined by the use of factor analysis. It was found that there were three relatively unrelated dimensions of permissiveness: orality-sexuality, independenceanality, and aggression . . ‥ the patterning of child rearing norms might be explained in terms of conscious motives of parents, ecological variables, or even the concerns of the individual ethnographers."
