Expert Solution

According to the information given in the example we see that Alice's parents are very strict with her and that she is required to obey her parents and never question their reason for rules. This characteristics are indicative of authoritarian parenting style. This style is characterized by high demands and low responsiveness and support towards the child. In the above example too Alice 's parents are very strict with b er and want her to obey their rules which is indicative of high demands but they never take her opinion with regards to the car that they will buy or how to spend the weekend. Thus her needs are not taken into consideration, therefore low on responsiveness.

According to the research for children with authoritarian parents, Alice has a high probability for the following conditions:

Alice will likely suffer from low self esteem, diminished confidence and inability to make decisions.
Poor performance in academics due to excess pressure and fear of failure has a likely possibility.
If Alice 's parents also engage in punishment as a form of discipline Alice is likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in the future.
