BestBoiKirby:

In a child's formative years, they are curious. They are learning. If they are yelled at, they learn that that is an acceptable way to convey a message or to express emotion. This is true not just with yelling, but with any kind of abuse. It creates a strong negative feedback loop. It's why you see kids who don't agree with their parent's hostility go on to do those things to their own kids. This is only true for a pattern of behavior that involves yelling. If yelling is used as negative feedback to something drastic, it should have no impact on the child as they grow up as this is completely healthy. It is only when the yelling becomes cyclical and about things that either don't matter or conflict with other things the (for lack of a better term, yeller) has said.
