Parenting Styles and Moral Emotions of Adolescents in Conflict with the Law

Abstract

The cognitive and emotional development of adolescents is affected by how they perceive their parents’ upbringing, or parenting style. This study aimed to verify the relationship between the perception of parenting styles by adolescents who committed transgressive acts and compare it to that of adolescents without such a history, also searching for associations with the moral emotions of pride, shame, and guilt. In total, 219 adolescents in conflict with the law and 243 non-offender adolescents participated in the study. They answered questionnaires containing sociodemographic questions and scales that assess moral emotions and parenting styles. The Chi-square and t-test were used to verify significant correlations between the demandingness dimension of the perceived parenting style and the practice of transgressive acts. Results revealed that the demandingness dimension and two guilt factors can act as protection against transgressive acts, especially in male adolescents.

Parental Perception of Child Behavior and Parental Abuse as Predictors of Delinquent Behavior among Adolescents in a Military Cantonment in Ibadan, Nigeria

“…Braga et al's (2017) meta-analysis on the relationship between maltreatment and adolescents' antisocial behaviors found that physical maltreatment by parents is related to violent delinquent behavior among adolescents. Also, parental verbal abuse tends to wound children's psyches so deeply that the effects remain apparent in young adulthood (Laskoski et al, 2022). Further study by Vallejo Valdivieso et al ( 2022) on the prevalence of child abuse and criminal behavior among 425 male adolescents in Ecuador confirmed a significant relationship between the abuse suffered during childhood and the criminal behavior reported.…”

Impacto de los estilos parentales sobre las habilidades sociales en adolescentes en tiempos de pandemia

“…En relación con este tema Diana Baumrind es una de las precursoras que argumenta que el comportamiento de los padres se basa en dos dimensiones fundamentales: aceptación y control; estas dimensiones se combinan para establecer tres estilos parentales que influyen en el comportamiento de los menores: autoritario, permisivo y autorizativo. Además de estos estilos, MacCoby y Martin agregaron el permisivo, señalando que los cuatro surgen de la combinación del afecto y el control que se brinda a los hijos (7) (8) (9).…”

Parentalidade em famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade social

“…Depois de Baumrind, outros pesquisadores deram seguimento aos estudos sobre os estilos parentais (Cassoni, 2013) e, ainda que o sistema proposto por Baumrind tenha continuado importante, a tipologia proposta por Maccoby e Martin (1983) ganhou notoriedade, pois permite uma maior generalização do modelo para populações diferentes daquela em que sua tipologia surgiu (Darling & Steinberg, 1993), favorecendo, por exemplo, estudos que investigam relações entre status socioeconômico (SSE) e estilos parentais (Hoff et al, 2002). (Laskoski et al, 2022).…”
