During much time, acting in a private institution of education, it of many conflicts between parents was observed existence and professors when the subject in focus is discipline. This implies that the parent argue, with the biggest naturalness, who do not know than procedure more to accept to discipline its. children and professors, in the majority of the times, they do not know what to make or that attitude to take when seeing a pupil agitating in the classroom. Succeeding the told fidgets previously, the necessity increased to investigate the conception that the parents and the professors have concerning the limits that could be applied the children, especially succeeding its inadequate behaviors. In this direction, a qualitative research was carried through, with 15 educators (being five professors, five mothers and five fathers) that had its children or pupils registered the basic education of private schools regularly. Because of the carried through interviews, was possible to observe the difficulty that the parents and professors come feeling when the subject in guideline discipline. On the other hand, a convergence concerning the conception of limits is noticed, as well as of the repercussions that its lack of limits can cause. The influence of the conceptions a sort can also be evidenced, of the media and of the pressures to which they are submitted in the current society. The parents bring absorbed by the work and other concerns of day-by-day; the professors bring obliged to treat the pupils as customers, had the competitiveness between the private schools that they need the complaining pupils and of the lack of domestic education give credit that this research can offer a contribution to the studious professional and interested in the subjects family and school. It is had certainty of that it is not conclusive, and still will have very what to search and to learn it enters the complexity of the subject, its extension and the importance of the current days / A motivação para realizar a presente pesquisa decorre da necessidade de uma melhor compreensão sobre a relação entre a Família e a Escola, no que diz respeito ao estabelecimento de limites à criança. Os limites aqui estão sendo tomados como sinônimo de disciplina. Durante muito tempo, atuando em uma instituição particular de ensino, observou-se a existência de muitos conflitos entre pais e professores quando o tema em foco é disciplina. Isso implica que os pais argumentam, com a maior naturalidade, que não sabem mais que procedimentos adotar para disciplinar seus filhos e os professores, na maioria das vezes, não sabem o que fazer ou que atitude tomar ao verem um aluno agitando na sala-deaula. Em decorrência das inquietações relatadas anteriormente, cresceu a necessidade de investigar a concepção que os pais e os professores têm acerca dos limites que poderão ser aplicados às crianças, especialmente em decorrência de seus comportamentos inadequados. Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, com 15 educadores (sendo cinco professores, cinco mães e cinco pais) que tinham seus filhos ou alunos matriculados regularmente no Ensino Fundamental-I de escolas particulares. Através das entrevistas realizadas, foi possível observar a dificuldade que os pais e os professores vêm sentindo quando o tema em pauta é disciplina. Por outro lado, nota-se uma convergência acerca da concepção de limites, bem como das repercussões que sua falta pode acarretar. Pode-se também constatar a influência das concepções de gênero, da mídia e das pressões às quais as pessoas são submetidas na sociedade atual: os pais sendo absorvidos pelo trabalho e outras preocupações do dia-a-dia; os professores sendo obrigados a tratar os alunos como clientes, devido à competitividade entre as escolas particulares, que precisam dos alunos, e queixosos da falta de sua educação doméstica. Acredita-se que esta pesquisa possa oferecer uma contribuição aos profissionais e estudiosos interessados nos temas família e escola. Tem-se a certeza de que ela não é conclusiva e ainda haverá muito que pesquisar e aprender ante a complexidade do assunto, sua abrangência e importância nos dias atuais

The overarching goal of this thesis was to compare the mother-child relationship and child behaviour across cultures. The three articles in this thesis were part of a multi-method investigation comparing England (an individualistic culture) and Turkey (a collectivistic culture). Accounts from two children and their mothers were obtained from 218 two-parent families in total. Mothers completed questionnaires, children were interviewed using the Berkeley Puppet Interview, and observations recorded during various play tasks. The study was unique as it recorded the perspectives of mothers and young children aged from 4 to 8 in each family across cultures. Results showed that English mothers used more positive methods of discipline with their older children, and reported less conflict with both of their children compared to Turkish mothers. In contrast, English children reported more anger and hostility from their mothers than did their Turkish peers (Paper 1). Cultural differences in maternal values partially explained these differences in positive discipline and anger and hostility (Paper 1). Using structural equation modelling, partial cross-cultural measurement invariance for parenting and child adjustment was revealed (Paper 2), and a stronger association between parenting and child adjustment was found for the English versus Turkish families (Paper 2). Finally, multi-level modelling yielded significant prediction of children's adjustment from both family-wide and child-specific aspects of parenting (Paper 3). The implications of the findings include appreciating different perspectives of parenting when conducting cross-cultural research (Paper 1); the culturally distinct meanings of both parent and child adjustment should be considered when interpreting their association (Paper 2); and that differential parenting within families can also have distinct cultural meaning (Paper 3). Future research would benefit from exploring within-and between-cultural differences in parent-child relationships further, across multiple countries, over time and in larger samples.
