“…Communication within families and family structure dominates the reverse socialization literature (Gentina & Singh, 2015) highlighting that children in contemporary families show an increasing level of personal agency/ownership around environmental sustainability (Kerrane, Hogg, & Bettany, 2012;Lawlor & Prothero, 2011;Wake & Eames, 2013). The children's environmental concern may act as a motivator to influence their parents (Easterling, Miller, & Weinberger, 1995).…”

“…Research to date suggests that reverse socialization is occurring in this context (Gentina & Singh, ) and that even short educational courses on pro‐environmental concepts may stimulate an increase in NEP score among children (Dunlap, ). Reverse socialization, based on Ward's () concept of consumer socialization, is defined as “the process by which parents acquire consumer skills and knowledge from their children” (Ekström, Tansuhaj, & Foxman, , p. 283).…”

This paper offers novel insights on the socio‐structural factors that sustain (or break) everyday behaviours in the home. Specifically, the adoption of sustainable consumption in the home as influenced by Green‐School children is explored. The findings presented are derived from surveys with Green‐School (Eco‐School) children and in‐depth interviews with their parents. The process of sustainable consumption adoption in the home, in the context of the Green‐Schools programme, is explored with an aim to understand if, and how, Green‐School children affect behaviours in the home. The findings enlighten our understanding of not only how environmental education programmes are reconciling the Dominant Social Paradigm with the New Environmental Paradigm, but also in terms of how sustainable consumption in the home, such as recycling and water and energy conservation, are initiated and reinforced by children through their use of positive pester power.

“…In general terms, research on the different outcomes of these disciplinary styles in adolescents shows that the authoritative style (in the English-speaking context) and the indulgent style (Spanish population) are related to the following correlates: adjustment [17,18], psychosocial maturity [19], self-esteem [20], academic success [21], altruistic behaviour [22], physical activity [23], and ecological behaviour [24]. Although there have been some investigations in Spain: Murcia and Valencia [1] Valencia [25], Sevilla [26], we do not know of any in Castellón.…”

Family Socialisation Styles and Hostility in the Adolescent Population

2018

The affective involvement of parents in the socialization of their children is fundamental for the proper psychological and emotional adjustment of adolescents, although we know that it is difficult to study. In this research, the relationship between parenting style and hostility was analysed in Spanish adolescents. Five-hundred and thirty-six adolescents participated in this study (53.7% males and 46.3% females), between the ages of 12 and 18 (M = 15.76, SD = 1.43), enrolled in 4 compulsory Secondary Education centers of the Castellon province. Family socialization was evaluated through the parental styles: authoritative, indulgent, authoritarian and negligent, and hostility, through the Cook–Medley Hostility Scale Criteria assessment. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was carried out with multiple regression analysis. The results showed that hostility and compound hostility are higher in adolescents from authoritarian and authoritative families than in adolescents from indulgent families. It was also observed that the Mother’s Strictness/Imposition had the greatest effect on hostility, as well as a low acceptance/involvement of the father. Regarding parental styles, it was observed that mother’s deprivation, physical coercion, and mother’s verbal coercion were the greatest predictors of hostility. No differences were observed depending on the gender.

“…Three papers focus on the home environment: Gentina and Singh [9] examine the role of adolescents in socialising their parents to behave more sustainably. The process of ecological reverse socialisation is researched in two countries, India and France, in which family and parenting are performed within distinct cultural settings.…”
