“…However, other studies have suggested that parental acceptance is a more relevant factor for boys than for girls, and even that father´s rejection is the most influential in boys and girls [ 31 ]. Finally, we can observe how our results complement the international studies on parental acceptance-rejection [ 80 ], providing a greater influence of the rejection of fathers and mothers in children of the opposite sex, between 11 and 14 years old.…”

The analysis of the mental health in children under 14 years has become a research topic of global interest where the family can be a key factor for protection or risk against mental health problems. With this work, we intend to determine, employing binary logistic regression analysis, whether parental acceptance-rejection perceived by boys and girls can predict their mental health. Seven hundred sixty-two students participated, the average age was 12.23 years; 53.8% (n = 410) girls and 46.2% (n = 352) boys. We have used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), self-reported version and the Affection Scale children version (EA-H) for parental acceptance-rejection to assess mental health. The odds ratio (OR) of the logistic models reports that there is a greater probability of having mental health problems in boys and girls when they perceive that they are highly criticized and rejected by their parents. With our work, we highlight the importance of the environment and family affection on mental health. The perception of the children about the rejection, aversion, and criticism of their parents constitutes a risk factor in the manifestation of mental health problems.

“…The responsiveness dimension, also termed warmth, affect, or acceptance [14], has generated a large volume of research attesting to its importance in offspring’s positive development, flourishing, and emotional development (e.g., self-esteem, subjective well-being, lower risk of behavioral problems, mood disorders [13,15,16,17], or drug consumption [18]). This relation with positive adjustment has been observed all the way to adulthood across many different cultures [19,20].…”

“…Nevertheless, in line with that reported by previous research [17], the findings of the present study also highlight the importance of the father figure in the establishment of family style, which is why it is important to involve men more in children’s upbringing and care, as well as in parenting support programs and interventions [94]. Given that children’s upbringing is influenced by both the presence and absence of certain elements, and in light of the importance of affect and communication for both the establishment of family style or climate and adolescent development and adjustment [14,15,19,20], it is vital to develop programs and actions which seek to foster and promote the knowledge and use of positive parenting practices based on communication, affect, and listening. It is also imperative to implement policies designed to disseminate the importance of fathers’ involvement in their children’s upbringing, not only during childhood but also during adolescence, a developmental stage that is especially complex [5] due to the number of challenges young people must face at the same time, and during which, despite the growing importance of peers and friends, family continues to play a key role.…”

The aim of this study is two-fold: (a) to determine the general degree of family affect/communication and strictness by examining the combination of the two classical dimensions of mother parenting style: affect/communication and strictness, and (b) to analyze the impact of both parents’ affect and strictness on the family style, thereby exploring the specific contribution made by each parent’s style and dimension. Participants were 1190 Spanish students, 47.1% boys and 52.3% girls (M = 14.68; SD = 1.76). The Affect Scale (EA-H) and the Rules and Demandingness Scale (ENE-H) (both by Fuentes, Motrico, and Bersabé, 1999) were used. Structural equation models (SEMs) were extracted using the EQS program. The results reveal that it is not the father’s and the mother’s parenting style combined, but rather the combination of maternal and paternal affect/communication, and maternal and paternal strictness which generates one perception of family affect and another of family strictness. The results also indicated that the weight of both dimensions varies in accordance with the parent’s gender, with maternal dimensions playing a more important role in family socialization style.

“…Some studies included multiple markers of adjustment problems (e.g., Cummings et al, ; Juang et al, ), whereas other studies focused on both adjustment problems and positive well‐being (e.g., Fosco & Lydon‐Staley, ; Leeman et al, ). Khaleque and Ali () conducted a review of several meta‐analyses conducted across 31 countries, for example, and found robust support for moderate‐sized associations between parental acceptance and a variety of youth outcomes such as a more positive worldview and fewer socioemotional problems. In individual studies of families with young adolescents, maternal support was associated with youth prosocial behaviors toward family members, whereas paternal support was associated with youth prosocial behaviors with friends (Padilla‐Walker, Nielson, & Day, ).…”

The primary purpose of this review was to examine theory and research published during the past decade that focused on family processes and children's and adolescents' well‐being. Scholarship focused on family processes and child and adolescent well‐being made significant and exciting advances during this decade based on several key advancements. In addition to a brief introduction and a conclusion, this decade in review is organized into four sections. In the first section, advances made in the literature because of increased attention to complexity and specificity are illustrated. The second section describes advances that were made because of increased attention to family processes in diverse families. Diversity in the samples of families studied, extensions in family process models, and the revisioning of grand theories using a diversity lens that were used to conceptualize family processes are detailed. In the third section, the importance of time in the study of family processes and child and adolescent well‐being is described. The emphasis on families' daily lives is noted. In addition, prospective considerations and studies of change over time are highlighted. Strengths in family functioning are detailed in the fourth section of this article: positivity, regulatory processes, and family organization. These three areas were selected to elaborate the idea that one of the major advancements in the family process literature during the past decade was an emphasis on family strengths. This review concludes with a commentary regarding how conceptual and methodological advancements during the past decade can guide future scholarship.
