Document Summary
Overview: defining the family, family as a complex system, parenting styles, sibling relationships. Families as complex systems: interdependent, dynamic, embedded. Support for parent, in turn, influences child. Opposed to cold/rejecting/hostility: control/demandingness: do parents expect a lot of children; do they set limits, insist on obeying/adhering to limits set; sense of control over what kids are doing. Opposed to permissiveness letting kids do what they want without imposing limits and controls on behavior. Parents may be high in control/demandingness in response to child. If you have a socially component child, it"s easier to engage in authoritative types of parenting. Parenting may be a response to child, as opposed: different outcomes for children of different to innate parenting style, ethnicity, social class. Parents who hold working class jobs are more likely to be rated as authoritarian. Lower socioeconomic status families are more likely to have authoritarian parenting.
