The results showed that authoritarian parenting significantly influences physical, aggressive tantrum behavior in children with a t-count = 1.906, greater than the t table = 1.689. Second, democratic parenting substantially influences children's physical, aggressive tantrum behavior with a t-value = 1.743, which is greater than the t-table value = 1.689.
