Abstract
Abstract According to Hoffman's theory of moral internalisation, parents’ victim‐orientated disciplinary strategies may stimulate a child to take another's needs into account. To test this hypothesis a cross‐lagged panel design was used with two measurements within a time interval of two years. Data were gathered from 150 families. Victim‐orientated discipline was related to a child's experience of guilt. Evidence for Hoffman's hypothesis about long‐term effects of parents’ disciplinary strategies was not found. Some evidence was found for the hypothesis that a child's level of interpersonal understanding mediates between parental disciplinary strategies and a child's internalisation of moral norms.
