The purpose of this study was to examine authoritative and authoritarian parenting in Chinese mothers with preschoolers, and factors related to the mothers' parenting practices. This study not only focused on the global parenting typologies (e.g. authoritative and authoritarian parenting), but also looked into the individual component elements of authoritative and authoritarian parenting. An ecological model was used to select potential predictors of parenting practices: (1) characteristics of the mother, (2) characteristics of the child, and (3) contextual factors. The sample consisted of 463 mothers with their preschool children in Taiwan. Mothers were administered a questionnaire which assessed their parenting practices, Chinese parenting beliefs, depression level, degree of parenting daily hassles, child's age, perception of the child's temperament, and demographic information. Based on the data, it was found that the majority of the mothers (over 65%) in this sample could be classified as authoritative mothers. None of the mothers in this sample were classified as authoritarian. The rest of the mothers practiced both authoritative and authoritarian parenting to some degree. Twenty percent of the mothers practiced authoritarian parenting at a medium level; however, they also scored medium to high on the authoritative measure. Fifteen percent of the mothers were medium on the authoritative and low on the authoritarian measure. In the analyses examining factors related to parenting practices, Belsky's model of the determinants of parenting was supported. Maternal characteristics, child characteristics, and contextual factors all contributed to predicting mothers' parenting practices. The results suggested that maternal depression, child temperament, and degree of parenting daily hassles may have cross-culturally universal influences on parenting practices. However, the significant influence of culturally specific parenting beliefs on parenting was also found. Traditional Chinese parenting beliefs were found to be positively related to both authoritative and authoritarian parenting. Most previous cross-cultural studies have depicted Chinese parenting as "authoritarian", or "controlling", which has not been viewed as "optimal" parenting in western culture. This study found that although Chinese parents have been found to score higher on the authoritarian parenting measure than western parents, authoritative parenting was still commonly practiced among Chinese mothers. For those who practice authoritarian parenting, it was very unlikely to be in the extensive or punitive form, and the use of authoritarian parenting was often accompanied by the use of a medium to high degree of authoritative parenting. Chinese parents' use of authoritative and authoritarian parenting were both in some degree embedded in the traditional Chinese parenting beliefs-the concept of training.
