Abstract
The type of discipline, the degree of praise, of affection, and of confidence from parents towards 744 male and female secondary school students, belonging mostly to the Wolof ethnic group in Senegal, were investigated by means of a questionnaire. The principal findings were as follows: fathers were more severe than mothers especially when the socioeconomic status of the father was low; most praise, affection, and feeling of confidence came from the mothers. However, girls believed more than boys that their fathers liked them, and yet they were more easily inclined to tell their mothers about their problems.
