Document Summary

For most children, most important socialization context, especially in early years, is family. High standing on parental warmth is associated with positive child outcomes: 2) parental control (demandingness): degree to which the child is monitored, disciplined, and regulated, as opposed to being left unsupervised. Control in general is beneficial, but results are more variable and complex: effects of any aspect of parenting depends on overall context in which it was expressed. Tend to be caring and sensitive, while setting clear limits and maintaining a predictable environment. Provide rationales for why they expect a certain behaviour: authoritarian parenting: high control and low warmth. Demanding, exercising strong control over child"s behaviour. Enforce their demands with threats and punishments, not reasons: permissive parenting: high warmth and low control. Loving and emotionally sensitive but set few limits on behaviour and provide little structure or predictability: uninvolved parenting (disengaged): low warmth and low control.
