“…Given that parentification is reported to have positive outcomes in certain circumstances (cf. Hooper et al , 2008; Nurwianti et al , 2018), it may be that the parentification measure was not sensitive enough to distinguish destructive parentification from so-called “healthy parentification” (Garber, 2011). The current study did not measure perceptions of parentification, which some research has found to be relevant in explaining the likelihood of antisocial outcomes (Jankowski et al , 2013).…”

“…However, parentification might not always be negative (Garber, 2011). In economically-deprived families, for example, parentification (when mediated by the influence of family strength) was found to be negatively correlated with delinquent conduct (Nurwianti, Poerwandari, & Ginanjar, 2018). It has also been suggested that parentified children may have greater psychological resilience and more secure attachment styles during adulthood, as a result of being adaptive and responsible in childhood (Hooper et al, 2008).…”

Purpose: Despite a robust link between poor caregiver attachment and antisociality, few studies have examined the influence of parentification and emotional resilience on delinquency in later life, in groups at differing risk for antisocial conduct.Methodology: This pilot study compared the influence of parentification, attachment style (avoidant or anxious) and emotional resilience on adulthood antisocial behaviour in an offender and normative sample. Of the 137 participants in this study, 66 were supervised by the National Probation Service (age M = 36.90, SD = 13.91), and 71 were recruited from community-dwelling and student populations (age M = 31.83, SD = 13.25). Findings:In partial support of the predictions, participants in the offender group reported significantly greater levels of attachment anxiety compared to the normative group. However, emotional resilience was positively associated with antisociality in the normative sample.Research implications: This small-scale investigation indicates value in exploring these specific variables in a larger, matched samples study, to enable clearer comparisons to be made between offender and normative groups. Practical implications:The preliminary findings suggest that attachment anxiety is associated with antisociality in offender populations, which indicate a therapeutic focus on attachment anxiety as part of correctional care and offender rehabilitation.Originality: This study is novel in its aim to examine the influence of childhood parentification, attachment deficits and emotional resilience on adulthood antisociality in participants from a high-risk offender sample and non-high-risk normative sample.

“…In subsequent studies, it is also worth looking for intermediary variables in the relationship between parentification and resilience because previous studies have shown that negative effects of parentification decrease and positive outcomes increase when family and sibling relationships are positive [ 36 , 71 ], or when a person presents proactive personality traits [ 63 ], and is able to view parentification experiences as fair [ 70 ].…”

Parentification is a form of distorted division of roles and responsibilities in the family where the roles of parent and child are reversed. A situation that goes beyond the child’s capabilities and exhausts resources usually yields numerous negative consequences. Nevertheless, in some circumstances, parentification may be beneficial by shaping resiliency. The main aim of the study was to examine the relations between parentification characteristics and resiliency. There were 208 adolescents (Mage = 14.55; SDage = 1.00) who participated in the study. Resiliency was evaluated using the Polish Scale for Children and Adolescents SPP-18. Parentification level was measured with the polish Parentification Questionnaire for Youth. The analyses revealed significant relations between parentification and resiliency dimensions. The relations were different based on the participant’s gender. The obtained results underline the role of resiliency in shaping the perception of family role dysfunctions such as parentification.
