    Reciprocating Influence

    Bell and Cairns argue that the influence between parents and children is reciprocal, not just one-sided. While parents have more control, a child's behavior can still influence how parents interact with that child. Cairns notes this reciprocity does not mean the influences are equal. Parents generally have more influence as children depend on them, but children's behavior can impact parents as well.

    RECIPROCATING
    INFLUENCE
    BY BELL AND CAIRNS
    WHAT IS RECIPROCAL INFLUENCE?
    It means that a child’s behavior is influenced by
    others and others influenced their behavior.

    Example:

    If a child is showing bad behavior, the people around


    the child will treat him/her more negatively. This may
    then make the child exhibit more bad behavior.

    LAW OF RECIPROCITY
    States that every positive action can get a positive
    reaction.

    RICHARD Q. BELL (1979)


     American Psychologist
     Focused on the mutually interactive effects of
    the mother and child.
