These children have the highest outcomes in many domains of child development, such as, psychosocial functioning, school competence, emotional well-being, and behavioral adjustment (Radziszewska). Authoritative children are more mature, independent, and socially responsible than those raised by other parenting styles (Dornbusch). Their behavior as a child is more outgoing than that of children raised by other parenting styles. As an adult, they are more respectful to themselves as well as each other, and are the least likely to defy authority figures. They have also shown to approach conflict with a rational thought process than with hostile or irrational actions
