Child, Parent, and Contextual Influences on Perceived Parenting Competence among Parents of Adolescents

Maternal psychosocial predictors of pediatric health care use: Use of the common sense model of health and illness behaviors to extend beyond the usual suspects

“…Seeking pediatric health care may alleviate the mother's emotional distress and perceived inability to cope with the numerous demands of parenting (i.e., low parenting self-efficacy). A variety of research suggests that parenting self-efficacy is associated with child outcomes such as infant interactive behavior, toddler adjustment, behavior problems, school performance, anxiety, socio-emotional adjustment, self-regulation, and self-worth (Ardelt & Eccles, 2001;Bogenschneider, Small, & Tsay, 1997;Bohlin & Hagekull, 1987;Coleman & Karraker, 2003;Day, Factor, & Szkiba-Day, 1994;Gross & Tucker, 1994;Hill & Bush, 2001). A number of studies have found self-efficacy to be negatively correlated with anxiety, depression, negative cognitions, demoralization, learned helplessness, maternal reported stress and passive maternal coping style (Bandura, 1991;Coleman & Karraker, 1997;Cutrona & Troutman, 1986;Donovan, Leavitt, & Walsh, 1990;Ozer & Bandura, 1990;Teti & Gelfand, 1991;Wells-Parker, Miller, & Topping, 1990).…”

Parenting Sense of Competence in at Psychosocial Risk Families and Child Well-Being

“…Being a major determinant of competent parenting behaviors (Jones & Prinz, 2005), parenting self-efficacy is closely linked to healthy child development and wellbeing (Ardelt & Eccles, 2001;Coleman & Karrarer, 2003). More specifically, many studies have found a positive relation between parental self-efficacy and children' s adjusted behavior (Coleman & Karraker, 2003), socio-emotional positive functioning (Ardelt & Eccles, 2001;Hill & Bush, 2001) and academic achievement (Bogenschneider, Small & Tsay, 1997;Ardelt & Eccles, 2001). Furthermore, an indirect relationship between parental self-efficacy and child maltreatment has been suggested (Mammen, Kolko & Pilkonis, 2002) as well as with child abuse potential (Begle & Dumas, 2011).…”

Parenting Style and Maternal Self-efficacy as Predictors of Emotional and Social Adjustment among Preschool Children in Palestine

“…Parental efficacy has been linked to child adjustment in various areas (Jones &Prinz, 2005) including academic achievement (Pelletier & Brent, 2002). With regard to behavior, it has been found that children of parents with high parental efficacy tend to report fewer behavioral problems than children of parents with low parental efficacy (Bogenschneider, Small & Tsay, 1997).…”
