“…Regarding the relationship between the parenting styles of the father and mother and prosocial behavior and aggression at different moments during adolescence (Mestre et al, 2007; Richaud et al, 2013), the findings resemble those for the relationship between peer attachment and prosocial behavior. Adolescents that perceived support and communication from their father and mother behaved more prosocially 1 year later.…”

The aim of this longitudinal study was to determine the associations among peer attachment, warmth from the mother and father, strict control by the mother and father, prosocial behavior, and physical and verbal aggression in adolescence. Few longitudinal studies have examined how peer attachment and parenting styles of the mother and father relate to prosocial behavior and aggression. Participants were 192 boys and 255 girls (M = 14.70 years; SD = 0.68) in wave 1. In the study participated 11 schools. For three successive years, participants reported on their fathers’ and mothers’ warmth and strict control, peer attachment, prosocial behavior, and aggression. Structural equations modeling was employed to explore two longitudinal models. Results show the influence of the mother and father on prosocial and aggression during adolescence. In addition, strong peer attachment predicted prosocial behavior in subsequent years. Therefore, the findings indicate that despite the increasingly important role of friends during the transition from childhood to adolescence, parenting styles play a key role in the personal and social development of their children. Programs aimed at preventing aggression should be designed considering the importance of stimulating and strengthening prosocial behavior, peer attachment and a family environment of affect, support and communication.

“…Previous studies have shown the prominent roles that relational variables (e.g., parental relationship, parental styles, and parental practices) play in the promotion of prosocial behavior. Specifically, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have shown that parents who are more authoritative in their parenting style (Hastings, Zahn-Waxler, Robinson, Usher, & Bridges, 2000), express more warmth and support and use positive parental practices have more prosocial children (Carlo, MacGinley, Hayes, Batenhorst, & Wilkinson, 2007;Richaud, Mesurado, & Lemos, 2013). Baumrind (1966Baumrind ( , 1996 defined the authoritative parental style as a combination of high levels of demandingness (or control) and responsiveness (or warmth) with their children.…”

This article studies the relationship between parental variables (authoritative parental style, maternal and paternal challenges), empathy, and prosocial flow with different types of prosocial behaviors (prosocial behaviors toward different targets and different motivations of prosocial behavior). The sample included 539 students of both sexes (42.5% males; M age ¼ 19.13 years old, SD ¼ 1.92). The hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that prosocial behaviors toward family, followed by toward friends, are motivated to a much greater extent by the parental variable than by empathy and prosocial flow. Conversely, when the prediction of prosocial behavior toward strangers was analyzed, the variables that had greater weight were prosocial flow and empathy. In relation to prosocial tendencies, the results showed that parental variables, empathy, and prosocial flow explained a similar percentage of variables in the different types of public, responsive, altruist, and anonymous prosocial tendencies.

“…A modo de ejemplo, se sabe que, en población infantil, la dimensión respuesta está asociada al incremento en la cantidad de vocabulario, mejores habilidades sociales y menor agresividad, mayor autorregulación y mayor desarrollo prosocial y al mayor uso del afrontamiento aproximativo en niños (Farrant & Zubrick, 2011;Gaylord-Harden, Campbell, & Kesselring, 2010;Jennings et al 2008;Kaiser, McBurnett, & Pfiffner, 2011;Richaud de Minzi, 2010;Valiente, Lemery-Chalfant, & Swanson, 2009). En adolescentes, se encuentra relacionada con un mayor ajuste psicológico, mayor autoestima y menos síntomas depresivos, menor consumo de alcohol y drogas, mayor satisfacción con la vida, mayor resolución de conflictos y menor agresividad hacia los pares (Behnke, Plunkett, Sands, & Bámaca-Colbert, 2011;Brody et al, 2009;Clark, Belgrave, & Abell, 2012;Dwairy & Dor, 2009;Kokkinos & Voulgaridou, 2016;Lee, 2011;Missotten, Luyckx, Van Leeuwen, Klimstra, & Branje, 2016;Ozer, Flores, Tschann, & Pasch, 2011;Richaud de Minzi, Lemos, & Mesurado, 2011;Richaud de Minzi, Mesurado, & Lemos, 2012;Rohner, 2010;Rohner, Khaleque, Elias & Sultana, 2010;Schwarz et al, 2011); y menos conductas externalizantes y mayor estabilidad emocional, menos síntomas paranoides, mejor ajuste psicológico, menor ansiedad, menor uso de pensamiento dialéctico, menor cantidad de signos de trastornos de personalidad y mayor uso de afrontamientos de tipo aproximativos en adultos (Chyung & Lee, 2008;de la Iglesia, 2013;Khaleque & Rohner, 2012;Mehrad Sadr, 2016;Riggio, 2004;Riggio & Kwong, 2011;Ripoll-Nuñez & Álvarez, 2008;Xu et al, 2016).…”

El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar psicométricamente una medida de parentalidad percibida adaptable a las configuraciones familiares actuales y a los objetivos de investigación vigentes en el área. Para ello se analizó una muestra de adolescentes (n = 443, MEDAD = 15.49 años, DEEDAD = 1.85, 50.6% varones, 49.4% mujeres) y una muestra de adultos (n = 512, MEDAD = 40.83 años, DEEDAD = 15.05, 49.6% varones, 50.4% mujeres) utilizando un instrumento diseñado especialmente para este fin. Los análisis efectuados derivaron en un instrumento (Escala de Parentalidad Percibida; EPP) de veinte elementos pasible de ser utilizado tanto en adolescentes (EPP-ADO) como en adultos (EPP-ADU) con familias de origen diversas. La medida cuenta con evidencias de validez que fundamentan su estructura bidimensional en todas sus versiones y que habilitan a estudios comparativos de los resultados obtenidos con las mismas. Además, los análisis con distintos criterios externos replican los resultados comúnmente hallados cuando se analiza la parentalidad percibida en relación con la sintomatología psicológica, el bienestar y los estilos de afrontamiento. Se proveen baremos para su transferencia al ámbito de aplicación. Mediante la EPP se pueden estudiar las dos dimensiones centrales de la parentalidad (respuesta y demanda) y su combinación en el análisis de estilos parentales tanto en cuidadores primarios como secundarios.
