According to Developmental Psychology and Diana Baumrind;
More often than not; punitive style parenting results in children that are:
- Anxious, withdrawn, with an unhappy disposition.
- Angry, aggressive, and have low self-esteem.
- Poor reactions to frustration
- Assert their independence by misbehaving.
- Behave & feel that the world is hostile.
- Show rebellion / revolt.
- Become resentfully submissive & obedient.
- Hypercritical toward authority.
- Fear punishment more than others.
- Become sullen / obstinate / negativistic.
- Learn to be sly, secretive & dishonest to avoid punishment.
- Introverted.
In 1997 According to studies done by Straus, Sugarman, & Giles-Sims...
1. Kids raised with authoritarian discipline have
tendencies toward anger and depression.
That's because authoritarian child rearing
makes it clear to kids that part of them is not acceptable,
interfering with the development of stable internal happiness.

2. Kids raised with authoritarian discipline learn
that power is always right.
Later in life, they may not question authority when they should.
3. Kids raised with authoritarian discipline tend to be more rebellious.
To see how, simply consider how this works for most adults...
Sometimes this shows up as rebellion against ourselves. We may
harshly starve ourselves with a new diet and then rebel by binging.
Or sometimes we might rebel by geting angry at any critisism.
4. Children raised with an authoritarian parenting style tend to be
more angry and rebellious as teenagers and young adults.
But because they are not used to taking responsibility for themselves,
they have less self-discipline, and are more willing to fall into peer pressure,
or to avoid responsibility by saying that they were only "trying to fit in".

One large study showed that the more parents spanked children for
antisocial behavior, the more the antisocial behavior increased.
- The more children are hit, the more likely they are to hit others
including peers and siblings and, as adults, they are more likely
to hit their spouses. Hitting children teaches them that it is acceptable
to hit others who are smaller and weaker.
- Studies show that even a few instances of being hit as children
are associated with more depressive symptoms as adults.
- A landmark meta-analysis of 88 corporal punishment research
studies of over six decades showed that corporal punishment of
children was associated with negative outcomes including increased
delinquent and antisocial behavior, increased risk of child abuse
and spousal abuse.
