The primary purpose of this thesis is to determine the relationship between the psychological variable of locus of control and childhood socialization processes. Socialization processes investigated are of two types: a) direct socialization by parents to particular behaviors and b) indirect socialization (I.E., maternal employment). Differences in race, gender and SES are expected to be related to significant differences on locus of control scores.

To determine if home economics child development education affected disciplinary techniques used by parents of kindergarten children, 298 parents of kindergarten children completed an eleven-part questionnaire. Comparisons were made of disciplinary techniques used, five categories of child development education, and five levels of education. Educational level appeared to affect parental disciplinary techniques more than child development education. As educational level increased, the use of punitive and reasoning techniques, the use of sources for learned disciplinary techniques, and parental reaction to stress concerning discipline all increased. It is suggested that parental expectations increased as educational level increased. Frustration with disciplining increased punitiveness and reaction to stress. Educational skills encouraged adoption of disciplinary sources.
