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...

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...

Parents/caregivers remain important in the lives of emerging adults in the modern era and understanding the ways in which parents of emerging adults balance responsiveness, demandingness, and autonomy support can help inform evidence-based recommendations around developmentally appropriate protective parenting. The present study identified four “parenting styles” in emerging adulthood in a sample of 680 4-year university and community college students (M = 19.0, ranging from 18 to 25; 70.7% female, 22.6% male) who reported on their primary parent/caregiver’s parenting behaviors. These parentin...

Research on parental burnout has focused more on its antecedents than on its consequences. Burned-out parents may experience a series of behavioral changes, negatively affecting their children’s physical and mental development. This study examined the effects of primary caregivers’ parental burnout on adolescents’ development and the mediating role of negative parenting styles. This study used a time-lagged design, and data were collected at three different time points. Adolescents were asked to identify their primary caregivers, and parents were asked whether they were the primary caregivers ...

The results show a relationship between the majority of the same parent and child perfectionism dimensions, thus providing supportive evidence for the Social Learning Model and the Social Expectations Model and children’s perception of parenting styles.

The emotional intelligence of parents and parental competence become two premises of effective parenting. This study contributes to the understanding of how parents’ emotional intelligence exerts its effect on both their parenting style and parenting competence. The present research also sought to identify the factors that determine the level of parental competence. The research method used is the questionnaire-based survey. The research sample, represented by 610 respondents, was determined by the sampling strategy based on convenience, respectively by the snowball method. The results indicat...

Both authoritative and permissive parenting styles seem to be dysfunctional, which cause different behavioural and emotional issues in children due to their attachment styles.

This study contributes to determining the relationship between parental emotional regulation, optimism, and parenting style. The responses collected from respondents with parental status were used in the research. The majority of respondents were female; in terms of the age of participants, they were predominantly in the category of 31–40 years, followed by those in the category 41–50 years. The data were analyzed statistically through operations such as correlations, regression, and analysis of variance. The results indicate that the authoritative parenting style is associated with the emotio...

It is important to understand the role of parents and different parenting styles in building up strong parentchild attachment.

espanolLa Escala para la Evaluacion del Estilo Parental (EEEP) pregunta a los adolescentes sobre los estilos educativos de sus padres por separado (“tu padre” y “tu madre”) o de forma conjunta (“tus padres”), pero solo se ha evaluado la validez en la version por separado.

The importance of the role of parents in the development of adolescents is increasingly being emphasized. Studies shows that adolescent-parent communication and different type of parenting styles can influence adolescents’ behaviors and attitudes since parents are accessible sources of information for them. The relevant contents in this article provide some references for parental influences on adolescents' mental health.

INTRODUCTION. The construction of parental educational styles is diverse and they develop along with the children being raised. Self Determination Theory (SDT) establishes two dimensions to define parental educational behaviours: autonomy support versus control, and structure versus chaos. On the basis of SDT, two parental educational styles are pointed: authoritative and harsh. This study analyses the relationship between parental education styles and children’s perceptions of their parents’ behaviours, and the influence of the parent gender. METHOD. The sample comprised 2,404 parents, and 1,...

This study examined the dynamic between perceived authoritarian parenting style (PAPS), and subjective wellbeing (SWB) among purposively recruited 423 college students in China. Expectancy value beliefs (EVB), fear of failure (FOF), and competitiveness were taken as mediators. The data were analyzed using Bootstrap method of 5000 sample and 95% confidence interval. The results revealed a significant negative total effect of PAPS on SWB. Additionally, two indirect paths were found to be significant: the mediation of FOF (Path 2) and the serial mediation of FOF and competitiveness (Path 6). Thes...

In this editorial, I comment on the article “Association of preschool children behavior and emotional problems with the parenting behavior of both parents” which was published in the latest issue of “World Journal of Clinical Cases” that demonstrates the prevalence of behavioral disorders in preschool children. Therefore I am focused on parenting which is the most effective factor shown to affect the development and continuity of these behaviors. The management of child behavior problems is crucial. Children in early ages, especially preschoolers who are in the first 5 years of life, are influ...

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...

Parents’ religious beliefs and practices, along with their parenting styles, matter for shaping how parents choose to transmit religious belief to their children and the extent to which they are effective. This chapter explores the direct, independent effects of parents’ religiousness and to some extent their parenting styles on children’s religious outcomes. Survey data are used to show how parenting styles moderate the relationship between parents’ religious importance and adult children’s religious importance and attendance. The chapter shows that an authoritative approach, whereby parents ...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

The aim of the review is to analyze the correlation between parenting styles and children’s prosocial behavior development. Due to the observation of the lack of prosocial behavior in some children’s lives, often with insufficient socialization, social difficulties, and other phenomena that affect future development, we want to figure out the best parenting style for children to grow up. Recently, under the increasingly severe challenge of children’s psychological problems, it is important to review the impact of parenting styles on children's prosocial behavior. Through three databases, we se...

Parenting and the parenting style each parent adopts play a crucial role in shaping the personality and behavior of children (Wenar C & Kerig P 2000). According to Clarke-Stewart, A. (2006), parenting style refers to the set of activities aimed at the smooth care and development of children. Parental care involves children, parents, and other family members in continuous interaction throughout life. Thus, exploring the type of parenting used by the parent plays a significant role in understanding children's behaviors. There are many parenting styles; however, this paper presents the democratic...
