Abstract: Using scene imitating technique, the paper explored the perception of the parents’ feelings,the emotional experience and the possible behavior tendency of the children when the parents sent out the messages of discipline. The subjects were 616 middle-school students and primary school pupils. The results showed that most of the subjects could distinguish the parents’ emotion. The efficacy of the four kinds of disciplines were different: the first was induction, the next was the message of “I” which expressed the parents’ puzzle and worry about the children’ behaviors, the third was the message of parents’ disappointment toward the children’ behaviors, but the message of great indignation and criticism would rouse the hostilities. The discipline message sent out by the fathers would cause the subjects’ more active emotional experience and obedience behaviors than by the mothers. There were significant differences in the ages and sexes. The females produced more positive emotional experience and submissive behaviors. The primary school pupils exhibited acceptance and obedience tendency,but the middle-school students appeared to be resistance to parents’ disciplines. The emotional experience and the possible behavior tendency of the children toward the messages of parents’ discipline were decided by the cognition of the children,positive cognition would lead to positive emotional experience and behavior tendency

Key words: middle-school students and primary school pupils, the message of parents discipline, perception of parents’ emotion, emotional experience, behavior tendency
