Top Research Papers on Parenting Styles

Research indicates that there is continuity in both maladaptive ( Chen & Kaplan, 2004) and positive parenting from one generation to the next. Within the topic of parenting, intergenerational transmission of specific parenting styles, specifically, the intergenerational transmission of authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative parenting styles has received limited attention in the research. In addition, few researchers have examined the impact of parenting styles applied to specific family members. As such, this study examined whether certain types of parenting styles may be passed down fro...

I have been successfully using On Becoming Babywise in my general pediatric practice for the last several years. I have found it to be a very helpful resource for parents. I think any negative outcomes associated with this material is due to the misapplication of the principles.

I have been a pediatrician in a busy practice in Johnson City, Tenn., for 18 years, and like most pediatricians, I was taught, and for many years advised parents, that demand feeding their children was the best, most nurturing course to follow.

ABSTRACT This article presents a synthesis of our prior work in consumer socialization of children. We focus discussion on parents as consumer-socialization agents and offer a review of the effects of parents as agents of children's consumer socialization as moderated by parental styles. Our research has uncovered one particular parental style—“authoritatives”—that appears to be more engaged in consumer socialization. We also review the more limited work on how parental styles may actually influence children and suggest avenues for future research that incorporates the parental style framework...

Parental educational styles constitute one of the key elements of family socialization. The aim of the present essay is to present the results of a research project carried out in the Principality of Asturias (Spain) among 2,965 families with children of infant and primary-school age (5-8 years old). This research attempts to analyse, among other aspects, parental behaviour tendencies in child upbringing. The analysis of the results obtained allows us to: 1) identify the most common attitudinal and behavioural tendencies of parents in the upbringing of their children; 2) determine how many peo...

I must strongly disagree with Dr. Aney9s surprisingly harsh and overly judgmental criticism of the book, On Becoming Babywise. The feedback and reports I receive from parents using the principles outlined in Babywise have been extremely positive. For many families, utilizing a scheduled infant feeding program brings a welcome degree of organization to a busy household. This often is an imperative strategy for families in which both parents work outside the home.

In this brief overview, the author contrasts two current parenting styles: Attachment Parenting and Babywise Parenting.

This review discusses Attachment Parenting and Babywise Parenting, two current parenting styles that have become popular in the United States.

Parenting styles reflect variations in the attitudes and practices of parents, and comprise discrete parenting behaviors. “Parenting style” refers to a cluster of parental practices that produce relatively stable and identifiable patterns in child adjustment outcomes. Parental authority is a key concept within parenting styles research, and refers to the type and extent of discipline used by parents in carrying out parental authority (i.e., behavioral control versus psychological control). Research on parenting evolved out of an increased interest in leadership styles, and particularly authori...

Data tell us that mammalian care patterns are based on the composition of mammalian milk suggesting that human infants cannot tolerate long intervals between their feedings and that, following the wisdom of nature, babies should be fed on cue, i.e. self-demand.

The parenting style recommended in On Becoming Babywise is, in my opinion, a dangerous program that pediatricians must be aware of so they can caution new parents to be discerning.

Dear Members: AAP News recently (April May 1998) presented both sides of a discussion on a controversial parenting style promoted in the book "On Becoming Babywise," published by Growing Families International. The Commentaries evoked many impassioned responses from members and nonmembers alike, particularly regarding demand feedings vs. scheduled feedings. While the Academy has allowed this discussion in its membership publication, it nonetheless standts by its latest policy statement (December 1997 , Pediatrics ), which states: "Newborns should be nursed whenever they show signs of hunger...

Every parent certainly has a different parenting style, as well as single parents who have to play a dual role in carrying out their lives as father and mother. Being a single parent is not just their wish but a choice they never imagined or dreamed of. In fact, they want a complete and harmonious family. Even so, the role of parents is very important in providing care for early childhood because it can affect the lives of children in the future. In essence, every parenting style must be adapted to the characteristics of the child. The purpose of this article is to determine the parenting styl...

The article presents considerations on the essence of education inspired by the perception of the ambiguity of categories used in psychology and concerning parenting, such as parenting style, style of upbringing and parental attitude. In the article, the differences between social influence and development and upbringing as well as key features of educational activities (intentionality, purposefulness, processuality, asymmetry of educational relation) were pointed out. The author treats upbringing as a long-lasting and intentional interpersonal interaction aimed at optimization the development...

Parents are "children's first and most enduring educators" (Robson, 2006), and as such, the parent-child relationship has profound effects on various aspects of children's development. Parenting styles (PS) and parental involvement (PI) are both heavily, yet separately, studied facets of this complex relationship. Research has consistently shown the powerful effects of these factors on children's academic functioning, social capability, and psychological development (Darling, 1999), as well as the school's integration as part of the community, and the enhancement of both students' and parents'...

Over the past 60 years, parenting style has been consistently explored, particularly with regard to its role in children’s development in western society. Various studies show that authoritative parenting is the best and the most effective parenting style to be applied universally to support optimal children’s development. This paper aims at exploring how the implementation of parenting style is highly affected by the cultural context of the society. Different cultural values reflected in individualist and collectivist cultures shape different understandings of parenting and thus different par...

: A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child earing. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond to and make demands on their children. Research has often studied parenting style from the perspective of parents. This study attempts to approach the phenomena from the perspective of both parents and children. 160 fathers, 160 mothers and 160 children from urban and rural middle income families were questioned on responsiveness and demandingness of parents. A simple tool was developed, pilot tested and used. T...

PHMs advocacy of authoritative parenting seems to support a healthy parenting style, while PHM supporting authoritarian, neglectful, and permissive attributes correlate with mothers’ negative parenting attributes.

A parenting style refers to a cluster of parental practices that produce relatively stable and identifiable patterns of child adjustment. Parenting styles reflect variations in the attitudes and practices of parents, and are comprised of discrete parenting behaviors, including disciplinary tactics. Baumrind's parenting styles typology represents the leading typological approach to parenting, and has dominated the parent–child research agenda for the last 50 years. This entry examines the historical context in which the typology emerged, as well as its theoretical and research foundations. It i...

This chapter examines parenting styles and parenting practices related to children’s moral behavior. In the first part of the chapter, parenting styles, dimensions of parenting styles, and parenting practices, including induction, power assertion, love withdrawal, rewards, and experiential learning, are presented as main effects in predicting children’s moral behavior. The literature associated with individual dimensions of warmth and behavioral control is examined as well. Next, the literature that examines bidirectional effects between parents and children in predicting moral behavior is exa...

Baumrind's authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian parenting styles were analyzed within the context of Kohut's psychology of the self. College student perceptions of their parents were correlated with measures of self-functioning in order to test the hypotheses that perceived parental authoritativeness would be associated with less narcissistic maladjustment, that permissiveness would be associated with immature grandiosity, and that authoritarianism would correlate with inadequate idealization. All three suggestions received empirical support. In addition, authoritarianism seemed to be ...

Does the economy influence the way people bring up their children? How can we determine and measure a child’s utility? How can parenting styles be categorized in an economic model? These are the questions that Professor Fabricio Zilibotti of the University of Zurich addressed in his honorary lecture ‘Parenting with Style’, which he delivered at the April International Academic Conference during the 5th LCSR international workshop ‘Social and Cultural Changes in Cross-National Perspective: Subjective Well-being, Trust, Social capital and Values’.

This study examined the association between the parent-child relationship (as perceived by late adolescent-early adult children) and the adolescent's codependency. College students 17through 22 years of age (N = 175) reported the parenting style of their mother and father (via ratings of perceived parental support and coercive control) and completed a scale assessing their own level of codependency. Parenting style (uninvolved, permissive, authoritarian, and democratic) was related to offspring codependency in that daughters of authoritarian fathers had higher codependency scores than did daug...

This study aimed to understand Miriam college students through the parenting styles that they experience and through their own perceptions of what parenting styles their parents use. Subjects were some freshman students and their parents who attended a parent-daughter activity. The Michael Popkin Questionnaire on Parenting Style was used. There was no single distinct parenting style that parents perceived they were using and that students experienced. Demographic variables did not affect the perception of the parents and experience of the students on the different parenting styles. There was a...

In the past half-century, research linking parenting styles with various child outcomes has led to a desire to understand how parents acquire the skills and behaviors they use towards their children. Research on intergenerational continuity of parenting practices/styles has produced varied results, such that multiple studies have found evidence of intergenerational continuity, whereas others have not. Accordingly, the purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between the parenting style that parents report using with their own children and those they report their parents to ...

Emotional competence refers to an individual's ability to recognize, understand, and regulate emotions. It has a significant impact on an individual's adaptability, overall well-being, social connectivity, and career success. The emotional competence of children is largely influenced by the environment in which children are raised, family dynamics and parental upbringing. The present study aims to explore the effects of parent-child attachment style and parenting style on children's emotional competence. Through a systematic review of studies involving different age groups and experimental met...

As people’s attachment styles have aroused the attention of whole society, researchers have done many studies for exploring the determination of their attachment styles. However, the causal relationship between parenting styles and formation of attachment styles still needs a specific explanation. Therefore, in this study, by summarizing the previous experiments and researches, detailed explanation will be illustrated. And through the investigation of parenting styles, a new question about how parents influence their children’s cognitive development, especially their communicating ways has bee...

Adolescence is a critical phase of development, marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. Parenting plays a vital role in shaping adolescent behaviour, and the father’s involvement is a crucial aspect of this process. Research has shown that father’s parenting style has a profound impact on adolescent behaviour, influencing their emotional well-being, academic performance, social relationships and overall development. This study is descriptive in nature.

Furthermore, not only does it aim to specify the direction of certain surveys on this issue in the future but also put forward recommendations relating to organizing prevention and intervention programmes intended for parents and adolescents. After gaining an insight into the findings of surveys presented (...

Baumrind's typological model of parenting styles is a global characterization that varies along the dimensions of demandingness and responsiveness. A consideration of conceptions of parental authority in different conceptual domains adds greater specificity to the model and potentially contributes to the prediction of child competence and development.

Education is about all-round development. This study puts the ball in the parents’ court in the quest for all round education of the adolescent. The culmination of the effects of parenting may be seen in the adolescent who is on the threshold of independence. Adolescence is a time when a person is torn by conflicting feelings. On the one hand, he is eager to be free, and on the other hand, he wants that there is always someone behind him who supports and takes care of him. This study puts light on the fact that the healthy home environment especially parents can be a strong source of support f...

This paper examines the intergenerational transmission of preferences between parents and their children. Specifically, we analyse whether parents transmit patience, the propensity to save, reading habits, and conscientiousness to their children, and how specific parenting styles – i.e. indicators of their involvement in children’s education and their attitudes towards sharing financial information play a role in such transmission. To study this link, we analyse the data from a representative survey of Italian households (parents with children 14-20 years of age) that we conducted in Italy in ...

The parent-child relationship and quality of parenting behavior have proven to be the most influential determinants of the child’ s development. While great effort has been spent studying the parenting behavior and consequences of parenting, much less attention has been devoted to studying determinants of parenting behavior. Along with the child characteristics, and contextual sources of stress and support, parenting is believed to be influenced by characteristics of the individual that are product of a person’ s developmental history (Belsky, 1984). The aim of the present study was to investi...

The influence of parents on both the adherence behavior and the glycemic control of their children and adolescents with diabetes has been documented for several decades. In their article, Shorer et al. (1) focus on the dimension of parental influence that has been defined as “parenting style.” They add to the small but growing literature examining the influence of fathers on outcomes in adolescents with a chronic illness (2,3). Scientists in the child development field have emphasized the importance of distinguishing parenting styles from “parenting practices” (4). Parenting styles are defined...

Abstract This study confronts an adapted version of Family Communication Patterns (FCP) (e.g. Ritchie/Fitzpatrick 1990) with an adapted version of the Psychological Control Scale (e.g. Barber 1996). The analysis is based on a sample of 194 firstborn Slovenian adolescents and their parents. The results from combinations of variables from the two theoretical-empirical contexts indicate the importance of the concept of parental authority and especially the communicative aspects of its assertion. The findings shed light on ways in which parents assert their authority over their adolescent children...
