Child abuse, violence against women, and the increasing occurrences of violence in schools, churches, and movie theaters are opening a debate on the possible causes and solutions in child welfare and other disciplines. Research on the detrimental effects of hitting and other forms of physical discipline has been available for over 30 years. A significant relationship exists between parents' use of power assertion to control a child and the child's level of hostility towards others. Research supporting the efficacy of evidence-based measures with people of color is limited. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of evidence-based Adlerian theory parent education on (a) parent attitudes and beliefs, (b) parent observation of child behavior, and (c) parent behaviors. Current research supporting the efficacy of evidence-based parenting interventions has primarily consisted of European Americans as research participants. This study utilized a quasi-experimental, quantitative, nonequivalent (pretest and posttest) control group design to examine the differences in the dependent variable between the group of parents that participated in Active Parenting, a 6-week evidence-based Adlerian parenting education program and those that did not participate in the program. Forty-seven parents were of a race/ethnicity other than European American. All parents completed the Active Parenting Now Survey. A separate 1-tailed independent t test was performed to test each of the hypotheses. The results of the independent samples t test revealed that the differences in the intervention and control groups' posttest mean scores were not statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level for parent attitudes and beliefs, t (45) = 0.353, p = 0.73, parent observation of child behavior, t (45) = -0.212, p = 0.83, or parent behaviors, t (45) = 1.182, p = 0.24. The null hypothesis for the research question was accepted because there was no statistically significant difference. The sample size in this study is small, and readers should exercise caution when interpreting the study results.
