Answer 1

Answer:

d) more likely to develop a sense of self-reliance and more likely to demonstrate social competence.

Explanation:

Authoritarian parents believe the children are strong-willed and willingness is the root of bad behavior. They regard loyalty to a higher authority such as parents, teachers, elders, etc as a virtue. Authoritative parents are pragmatic and not motivated by the absolute norm. They tend to adjust their expectations toward the child's needs. Authoritative parents are likely to be caring and sensitive compared to authoritarian parents.
