“…Expressions of parental approval generally serve to affirm children's positive behaviors and qualities, and so we might expect their perceived frequency to be positively related to both favorability and stability of children's SE (Briggs, 1975). Parent education and training programs often are geared toward increasing parental encouragement and acceptance of their children and positive effects of these programs on children's self-esteem and self-concept have been reported (Berrett, 1975;Giannotti & Doyle, 1982;Hinkle, Arnold, Croake, & Keller, 1980;McKay & Hillman, 1979;Moore & Dean-Zubritsky, 1979;Nystul, 1982). However, some modes of expression may be more effective in this regard than others.…”

We examined the extent to which 11- to 12-year-old children's (N = 174) self-esteem (SE) stability and level related to their perceptions of various aspects of parent-child communication. Compared to children with stable SE, children with unstable SE reported that their fathers were more critical and psychologically controlling, and less likely to acknowledge their positive behaviors or to show their approval in value-affirming ways. Likewise, children with low SE reported that their fathers exhibited these qualities to a greater extent than did children with high SE. In addition, fathers of children with stable high SE were viewed as especially good at problem solving. Children's SE level related to perceptions of mothers' communication styles very similarly to how it did with fathers'; with respect to SE stability, however, relationships were generally less consistent and frequently absent. Discussion centered on the role of parent-child communication in promoting unstable SE.

“…A parent education program based on these constructs is the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) program (Dinkmeyer & McKay, 1989). Support for the use of this model has been provided through experimental and quasi-experimental studies (Esters & Levant, 1983;Jackson & Brown, 1986;McKay & Hillman, 1979;Meredith & Benninga, 1979;Noller & Taylor, 1989;Nystul, 1982;Sharpley & Poiner, 1980;Snow, Kern, & Penick, 1997;Summerland & Ward, 1981;Williams, Omizo, & Abrams, 1984).…”

Research has supported the use of the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) program when working with families; how-ever, minimal attention has been given to the attrition issue. Given that STEP has been shown to be effective, there is a definite need to identify characteristics of those individuals who are likely to terminate prematurely. A study was conducted comprising 221 subjects to investigate the predictive power of the Basic Adlerian Scales for Interpersonal Success-Adult Form (BASIS-A) in relation to attrition in parenting groups. Results from the study indicated the attrition rate to be higher with individuals who had elevated scores on the Entitlement scale on the BASIS-A than individuals who do not have elevated scores.

“…Positive effects on children's behavior and self-esteem have also been reported (Berrett, 1975; Gruen, 1978; Hinkle, Arnold, Croake, & Keller, 1980). The most frequent outcome reported is a change toward a more democratic parental attitude (Hinkle et al, 1980; Moore & Dean-Zubritsky, 1979; Nystul, 1982). Other outcomes include an increase in parental acceptance and trust (McKay & Hillman, 1979; Summerlin & Ward, 1981) and an increase in encouraging behavior toward children (Moore & Dean-Zubritsky, 1979; Nystul, 1982).…”

“…A review of the research on Adlerian and related parent education indicates that it is usually effective in improving parental attitudes (Berrett, 1975; Gruen, 1978; McKay & Hillman, 1979; Moore & Dean-Zubritsky, 1979; Nystul, 1982; Summerlin & Ward, 1981) and behavior (Gruen, 1978; Moore & Dean-Zubritsky, 1979). Positive effects on children's behavior and self-esteem have also been reported (Berrett, 1975; Gruen, 1978; Hinkle, Arnold, Croake, & Keller, 1980).…”

This study assessed the effects of the Survival Training for Parents (STP) program on parental attitudes and on the self‐esteem and manifest anxiety of preadolescent children. The STP program presents Adlerian parenting principles in six 21/2‐hour sessions to the parents of preadolescents, as an outreach service of a community mental health center. Participants were selected from volunteers from two school districts in northeastern Ohio. Parents in the experimental condition participated in the STP program while control group parents were wait‐listed. Eighteen parent‐child pairs completed pre and posttesting. Analyses of covariance using the pretest as covariate showed that STP was effective in changing parent attitudes of confidence (p <.01), causation (p <.01), and understanding (p <.05) at posttest. The children of participants in STP improved in self‐esteem in school ( p <.05) at posttest. The results are compared to other parent education outcome studies.
