Abstract
The goal of this research investigation is the study of patterns of discipline in contemporary Sea Island society. The author identifies the discipline habits of Sea Island parents, measures the direction and extent of change in these habits and beliefs across three generations of the population, and discusses the affective influence of isolation on them. Most of the primary data in this source were obtained from interviews with the members of fourteen family units on the five Sea Islands of James, Johns, Yonges, Wadmalaw, and Edisto. A structured questionnaire was used to record the responses of those interviewed, which was later submitted to statistical analysis. These tests were designed to analyze the relationship between the variables of island isolation, generation, and sex in reference to disciplinary practices. The discussion of the results of the statistical tests makes up the major bulk of this source.
