styles
The Impact of Authoritative Parenting on Adolescents
• Authoritative parents provide their adolescent children an appropriate level of freedom
○ while, simultaneously, requiring them to behave in a responsible manner
• Their adolescent children tend to
○ Be independent, self-assured, creative, achieve in school
○ Have positive relationships with peers and adults (socially skilled)
○ Be more optimistic and have better self-regulation than do adolescents
whose parents are not authoritative
○ Even adolescents with only one authoritative parent have higher levels of
well-being than those with no authoritative parent
The Traditional Parenting Pattern and Its Impact on Adolescents
• This parenting pattern is common throughout the world and in U.S ethnic minority
families
• Authoritative parents style promote independence and traditional parents promote
interdependence
• Adolescents in traditional families generally understand and endorse their parents’
socialization approach
○ Like the authoritative parenting pattern, this pattern is associated with
fewer negative outcomes for children.
○ Both of these patterns combine parental authority with parental support
○ the traditional pattern has higher levels of strictness and support but this
stricter parenting is balanced by greater closeness
Adolescents and Authoritarian Parents
• Those parents are described by adolescents as strict and not very or only somewhat
supportive
• Adolescents whose parents are authoritarian:
○ Are Less self-assured, less creative, and less socially skilled
○ Tend to have lower achievement
○ Are more dependent and more likely to conform to peers
