Document Summary
Parenting patterns and the impact of culture and context. Studies of childrearing patterns in the united states have led to the identification of six distinct patterns: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, traditional, indulgent, and indifferent. The 2 dimensions that distinguish among these 6 patterns: Authoritative parents: controlling and demanding, but also nurturing and communicative with their children, do not expect unquestioned obedience, are willing to explain to their children the reasons for expected behavior. Integrate the needs of the child with those of other family members. Children of authoritative parents: have more positive outcomes than children reared by authoritarian, permissive, indulgent, or indifferent parents. Authoritarian parents: have relations with their children that are hierarchical rather than democratic, a main goal of authoritarian parents is to obtain obedience from their children. They frequently use punishment and/or the threat of punishment. They often seek to shame their children into compliance. They also place value on keeping children in their place, by restricting children"s autonomy.
