“…Authoritative parenting style considered a positive parenting style; and negative parenting styles that are authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful 3, 9 . In this respect, positive parenting styles are accompanied by encouraging outcomes for children such as optimism, selfesteem, and social-emotional development [10][11][12] , while negative parenting can lead to emotional disorders, behavioral problems 13 , aggression 14 , as well as child anxiety 15 . Although, previous review studies have investigated different factors contributing to raising children and child maltreatment, including socio-economic factors 14,16 , and parent and child characteristics 14,[17][18][19][20][21][22] , less is known about psychological factors that contribute to parenting Summarization, extraction, and data reporting Two authors (ZH and ZV) independently extracted basic study information (author's name, title and year of publication, sample characteristics, type of study and outcomes such as parenting styles, parent's behavior, parent-child interaction, family interaction) for all included papers using a predefined evidence table shell.…”

Background: The set of strategies used by parents to put their children’s behaviors under control are called parenting styles, which can be influenced by numerous factors including socio-economic variables, cultural differences, personal characteristics, and psychological factors. These factors can differently contribute to parenting style. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine psychological factors affecting parenting style. Methods: This study was a comprehensive literature review using the keywords of parenting styles, psychological factors, and parenting to search the databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of , and Scientific Information Database. In this respect, 416 articles were extracted. 368 articles were removed after reviewing their abstracts and full text and eventually 48 articles were selected to elicit the required data. Results: Our findings were classified under two categories: factors related to parents (mental status, self-efficacy, parenting stress, perfectionism, personality traits, childhood trauma, marital satisfaction, parents’ attachment style, perceived parenting style, and substance abuse); and those related to children (child developmental and mental disability, child temperament, and anxiety). Conclusions: Considering the multiple psychological factors that affect parenting style, it is recommended to include an assessment of parent-child psychological status in family programs in order to identify the needs for -oriented care and take steps towards the development of parenting skills.

“…The preschool years are an important developmental window for the emergence of children's independent regulatory capacities (Tan Camras, Deng, Zhang, & Lu, ; Zajicek‐Farber, Mayer, & Daughtery, ). Prior to this time, children are reliant on their caregivers to help them navigate challenging situations, with children's displays of distress signaling their need for physical comfort or emotional support (Bridgett et al, ).…”

Despite evidence that acute stress impairs attention in adults, there has been minimal research in children. Here, the effects of acute stress on Go/No-go performance were examined in young children (M age = 5.41 years). Given the critical role of the parent-child relationship to children's self-regulatory development, the extent to which parenting stress predicts children's cognitive vulnerability to acute stress and autonomic reactivity was also investigated. A between-groups design (n = 58 stress, n = 26 control) was used with oversampling of the stressor-exposed children to examine individual differences. The Parenting Stress Index and subscales were employed as a measure of parenting stress. Acute stress impaired children's sustained attention, but not inhibitory control. Higher parenting stress was associated with vulnerability to attentional impairment. Parenting distress was also positively associated with sympathetic reactivity to acute stress, but neither sympathetic nor parasympathetic reactivity was associated with attentional impairment. A conceptual model of pathways through which repetitive acute stress may contribute to self-regulatory difficulties is presented, including the potential buffering role of caregivers.

“…study with the aim of considering the relationship between parenting style family stress and behavioral adaptation in pre-school aged children in China indicated that compliant mothers had lower household stress compared with authoritative parenting style with fewer behavioral problems in their children. [ 3 ] Families utilize different parenting styles in raising their children. Parenting styles are methods and relatively stable patterns of parents for the relationship between family members.…”
