“…The present study aimed to address the scarcity of data obtained from Russian samples and the lack of consistency in findings about the effectiveness of parenting styles by analyzing a representative sample of Russian families. This study further expanded the literature on post-Soviet countries, which blend the Eastern and Western values that can shape beliefs about parenting [ 34 ].…”

We investigated the magnitude and direction of differences in parenting styles as they relate to children’s mental health problems, as assessed using the CBCL. The sample consisted of 306 families residing in a large industrial city in Russia. We aimed to expand the cross-cultural literature on parenting styles by assessing a sample of Russian families and analyzing how agreement versus disagreement between self-reported and partner-reported parenting styles related to children’s mental health problems. The findings suggested that both congruence and incongruence between parenting styles could be associated with children’s mental health problems. When parents agreed about high warmth and matched on lower levels of demandingness, in line with the permissive parenting style, children tended to exhibit maladaptive behavior and externalizing problems. We also registered that children were likely to show low levels of mental health problems when fathers had higher self-reported warmth compared with mothers’ reports. In contrast, children whose fathers had higher self-reported demandingness compared with the mothers’ reports, exhibited moderate levels of mental health problems. This study expands the existing literature by providing a dimensional approach to children’s mental health difficulties in the context of (dis)agreements in the parenting styles within a family.

“…As most previous cross‐cultural research on parenting made use of a dimensional approach, there is a lack of cross‐cultural research focusing on parenting typologies (e.g., Barnhart et al, 2013; Garcia et al, 2019; Gherasim et al, 2017) explicitly comparing different countries. In addition, only few studies focused on parenting dynamics in non‐EU post‐Soviet countries (Hamzallari, 2018) and there are no studies that explicitly compare parenting in non‐EU post‐Soviet and Western European countries.…”

The parenting context is of fundamental importance for the optimal development of adolescents. Making use of a person‐centered approach, we derived parenting typologies from the perspective of Georgian and Belgian adolescents based on four dimensions of perceived parenting (responsiveness, structure, psychological control, and autonomy support). Further, we examined how perceived parenting typologies were associated with adolescents' self‐esteem. The study sample included 511 Georgian and 830 Belgian adolescents (N = 1341; 48% female). A cluster‐analytic procedure on the full sample was conducted separately for mothers and fathers. The analysis yielded five parenting typologies: Supportive—Highly structuring (high responsiveness and structure), Highly structuring—Moderately controlling (high structure and psychological control, moderate—responsiveness), Supportive—Low structuring/controlling (high responsiveness and autonomy support, low structure and psychological control), Highly controlling (very high psychological control, low responsiveness and autonomy support) and Uninvolved (low on all dimensions). Results indicated that the Highly structuring—Moderately controlling paternal cluster was more prevalent in the Belgian sample. A country‐moderating effect was found with the paternal Uninvolved profile associated with low levels of self‐esteem in Belgian adolescents, but with moderate levels of self‐esteem in Georgian adolescents.
