PARENTING STYLES - INSTRUMENTS AND PRACTICE
Abstract
Our research focuses on different ways of understanding parenting styles and the similarities and differences between conceptual understanding as well as statistical issues for 2 measurement instruments. Starting with Baumid vision of consistent and persistent ways of interactions between parents and child, there is evidence that these constant ways of interactions do have certain influences on child development. As it was shown in previous research, addiction to substance abuse, especially alcohol in adolescence is linked to parenting styles [1], delinquency [2], aggression and intimidation behaviors in school [3], self-confidence [4], low self-esteem, attention deficit [5] leadership behaviors [6], academic competence in school [7]. One of the questionnaires was developed within a Comenius project (COM-11-PR-06-GJ-RO) [8] (https://www.primariarovinari.ro/download/1018/) and it is focused on fermity and care/kindness dimensions; it results a 4 types structure: В• non-care/non-kindness - firm ; В• care/kindness - non-firm ; В• non-care/non-kindness - non-firm ; В• care/kindness - firm. There are 18 statements that have scale intensity attitude for agree or disagree with the statements. Second one is built on Hart model, C. H., Mandelco, B., Olsen, S.F. & Robinson, C.C. [9] understanding of parents -children interactions; within their paper, they do state that the aims are to identify specific practices in parenting, as well as to contextualise typologies. The paper introduces comparative results, as well as independent ones and provokes to reflection and deeper understanding of the parenting styles within Romanian cultural practice.
