Document Summary
Parenting style: parents differ in how they socialize their kids (even between kids, goal of studies: identify differences among parents, determine effects on children"s dev, dimensions in which parents vary: Parental warmth: acceptance/responsiveness; the amount of support, affection, and encouragement that parent provides as opposed to hostility, shame, or rejection; high level of warmth--> positive child outcomes. Dian boumrind"s idea- combined warmth and control to make different styles. Authoritative parenting style- high degree of both warmth and control; the parent is really caring and sensitive but also puts clear limits for the child and also provides rationales for them. Authoritarian parenting- combines high control with low warmth; the parents are demanding, controlling, use threats and punishments. Permissive parenting- high warmth, low control; the parents are loving, sensitive, but puts little limit on behaviour. Uninvolved (disengaged) parenting style- low warmth, low control.
