Abstract
In a longitudinal study of community girls, bidirectional effects were evaluated between child oppositional defiant disorder symptom dimensions and parent use of verbal aggression and corporal punishment. Parent aggression predicted increased child ODD symptomology, and reciprocal relationships emerged consistently between ODD-antagonism and parent aggression forms. ODD-oppositionality predicted increased corporal punishment.
