I just looked through the footnotes of Unconditional Parenting and found this:
"The research demonstrating a link between parents' use of reasoning and the altruism of grown children was actually quite dramatic: It was an investigation of which individuals chose to rescue European Jews from the Nazis. The parents of rescuers 'were significantly less likely to [have] emphasized obedience' or used physical punishment. Instead they focused on 'reasoning, suggestion of ways to remedy the harm done, persuasion, and advice'." (bottom of pg. 239)
Wow, I thought! That should be published much more widely.
