DIMENSIONS OF DISCIPLINE INVENTORY

The DDI measures:

1. Misbehavior by the child
2. Use of nine discipline techniques such as explanation, corporal punishment and reward.
3. Ten aspects of the mode of implementing discipline (such as impulsivity) and the context (such as agreement-disagreement between parents on discipline).
4. Degree of approval or disapproval of each of the nine discipline techniques.
   

Despite the broad coverage, the DDI is brief - 10 to 20 minutes, average time 15 minutes.
