On the origins of children's compliance and opposition: family context, reinforcement, and rules

Article Abstract:

The ability of children to comply with and oppose their parents is a sign of their adjustment in family and community settings. An increased likelihood of child compliance with parental instructions is evidenced by the benefit of parental responsiveness. Child compliance is influenced by the function of synchrony generated in the social exchanges between child and parent. When synchrony is high, children are apt to comply with parental instructions and vice-versa.
