“…Nevertheless, despite these changes, it seems that beyond cultural differences, women still bear most of the responsibility for home and childrearing (Buunk et al 2000;Coltrane and Adams 1997;Sabattini and Leaper 2009). Women assume a greater part in their children's upbringing than do men and do so at the cost of their profession, career, and personal advancement (Brown and Jones 2008;Butler and Skattebo 2004).…”

The study addressed cultural effects on Israeli emerging adults' preferred parenting styles. Pre-parenthood preferred parenting styles in a traditional society (Arab) were compared with those in a more modern Western-oriented society (Jews). The study revealed that both groups preferred the authoritative parenting style to the authoritarian and permissive styles. Unexpectedly, it was also revealed that Arab participants indicated higher preference on the permissive style compared to Jews. Regression analysis indicated that gender is statistically significant in explaining parenting styles, with women preferring authoritative parenting and men authoritarian. Implications of the study are discussed. The Implications of Parenting Styles on Children's OutcomesThis study examines emerging adults' preferred parenting styles, prior to entering marriage and parenthood. The history of research on parenting styles reveals changes in perceptions of their effectiveness. Until the mid-twentieth century, it was assumed that avoiding setting clear limits for children was the correct and effective way to bring them up to be self-confident, creative, and independent (Farson 1974;Holt 1974;Neill 1956Neill , 1964. However, since the 1960s, research had begun developing a degree of uneasiness with permissive upbringing. Studies revealed that education that does not include setting limits is associated among other things with dropping out of school, non-normative behavior, lack of self-control, low self-image, and higher involvement in violent behavior (Baumrind

“…& According to some authors, in order to generate alternative repairing behaviors in dual-earner families, permissive parenting styles are more frequent so as to prevent frustration and conflicts with the children (Nomaguchi and Milkie 2006;Sabattini and Leaper 2004). Other studies also point out the working mother's over-involvement in household responsibilities in order to prevent her work from becoming a burden for her husband and children (Bosch et al 1996;Hochschild 1989;Tobío 2005).…”

Family Gender Role and Guilt in Spanish Dual-Earner Families

et al. 2011

In dual-earner families the balance between work and family demands facilitates the development of guilt feelings when parents perceive a non-fulfillment of their responsibilities in childcare. Specifically, women who aspire to personal and professional development on the basis of more egalitarian gender role models must deal with the traditional stereotypes that maintain an intensive maternity mandate that prioritizes the family. On the other hand, for men the role change is primarily in the family setting with the development of a new father role more involved in the care of their children, which is not easily compatible with the more traditional breadwinner role. This study explored the feelings of guilt about parenting in 251 employed Spanish parents with children between 3 and 6 years of age, through the Scale of Guilt Feelings about Parenting, and its relationship with traditional stereotypes of maternal and family role. The scale addresses diverse situations pertaining to child rearing in which work requirements do not allow parents full availability for the care of their children. This availability is present in the model of intensive maternity and in the new father role model. Results indicate the presence of similar and high levels of guilt in fathers and mothers, although in men guilt is related to a non-traditional family role ideology, whereas in women guilt is related to a more traditional maternal role stereotype.

“…We are cautious with this prediction, however, because some recent research notes that fathers with a traditional gender ideology show less parental involvement than fathers with an egalitarian ideology (Bulanda, ; Sabattini & Leaper, ). This research threatens our hypothesis because fathers’ involvement has been shown to have strong positive effects on youth outcomes (Pruett, Cowan, Cowan, & Pruett, ).…”

We use the NLSY97 dataset to examine the parenting-delinquency relationship and how it is conditioned by parents' gender, controlling for youths' gender. Generally, neglectful and authoritarian parenting styles were associated with the highest levels of delinquency in youths. When the sample was split by parent gender, authoritarianism held up across both groups, but permissive and neglectful parenting was only significant for fathers. Independent of parenting style, boys have higher delinquency levels than girls. The strength and magnitude of this relationship is nearly identical in separate equations for mothers and fathers. Parental attachment was not a significant protective factor against delinquency for either mothers or fathers.
