  It purports to but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there were a third factor influencing both things, and the article says nothing about controlling for any external factors. Also numbers like 4% aren't exactly overwhelming. And the sourcing leaves something to be desired. Happylifereport?

    I'd also wonder if there's not a realistic limit to this. At some point, I'm guessing it is possible to be too strict? Related: I was the custodial parent and not very strict. My kids are mostly productive and happy adults. I can't ask for more.

  I don't think strict is at all synonymous with "Tiger Mother," though I'd guess Tiger Mothers are very much a subset of strict mothers. I expect "strictness" is something of a proxy for things like inculcating self-control, delayed gratification, and limit setting, while smallish effect size could be because the reverse side of the "strictness" coin might be a proxy for less good (potentially borderline abusive) things.
