Construction and Validation of Scale of Parenting Style
This paper describes the development and standardization of a measure of perceived parenting style. The four styles namely authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and negligent proposed by Baumrind (1971) are scaled based on a quadrant of high and low levels of parental responsiveness and control suggested by Maccoby and Martin (1983). The items are constructed on socio-cultural and educational circumstances of adolescent students in Kerala, India. Hence, the tool will be largely suitable for scaling the four parenting styles among south Asian adolescent students. The tool has good criterion related validity and test-retest reliability. Parents have huge impact on a person's life. Number of studies in the area of parenting matches its importance on the developing person. Parenting process combines all the activities of the parents that intended to support their children's wellbeing. One of the most studied approaches to understanding parental influences on human development is concept of parenting style (Baumrind, 1967). Baumrind proposed parenting styles as correlates to socialization of the children. Then many researches recognized the importance of researching role of parenting style in child development (Kordi,
DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A SHORT VERSION OF THE PARENTAL AUTHORITY QUESTIONNAIRE
Social Behavior and Personality An International Journal
A short version of Buri's (1991) 30-item Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), a widely used measure of Baumrind's (1971) model of authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles, has been developed in this study. The participants were 3,025 middle and high school students from Oman. The sample was randomly divided into 2 subsamples. The first sample (N = 1,504) was used for the development of the short version, and the second sample (N = 1,521) served as the validation sample. The results indicate that a reduced 20-item PAQ fit the data better than the 30-item PAQ. The short version evidenced adequate validity and internal consistency. It was discussed and confirmed that the short version of the PAQ utilizes Baumrind's model of parenting styles as well as the original long version of the PAQ, and functions appropriately. This result is consistent with previous research. The construct of parenting style is used to describe parents' practices in social...

Early human development is important for psychological and psychosocial growth. Parental practices include parents' behaviors and communication patterns with their children, which have short-and long-term effects on their children's social functioning in areas such as morality, social development, psychological development, peer play, and academic achievement. This study aims to assess the relationship between perceived parental style and emotional regulation abilities among Indian young adults. Following purposive sampling, data was collected from two hundred and fifteen young adults in India. The findings show cognitive reappraisal and emotional regulation have a significant positive relationship with permissive and authoritative parenting. Cognitive appraisal shares no significant relationship with authoritarian parenting. Excessive suppression did not share a significant relationship with any of the parental styles.
A 133-item parenting questionnaire was completed by 1251 parents of preschool and school-age children. Items in this measure were reduced using principle axes factor analyses followed by varimax rotation. Three global parenting dimensions emerged consistent with Baumrind's authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive typologies. Internal consistency reliability was assessed with Cronbach alpha and additional items were deleted. A 62-item instrument was retained, and the global parenting dimensions were subsequently analyzed to determine their internal structures using principle axes factor analyses followed by oblique rotation. For each of the three global dimensions a number of specific factors were identified.
Parenting styles and its impact on children – a cross cultural review with a focus on India
Mental Health, Religion & Culture, 2019
Parenting is a dynamic process, influenced by socio-cultural factors. It is an important contributing factor to child development and childhood psychopathology. Research investigating association between parenting styles and child outcome are limited in India. This paper aims to review studies conducted in West and in India in order to study cultural differences in parenting styles and its outcome. We found that despite hypothesized cultural differences between the West and India, the effect of parenting styles on children appear to be similar across culture, and culture did not serve as a moderator for parenting style and child outcome. An Authoritative parenting styles was associated with better outcome than authoritarian and neglectful/uninvolved parenting style in both Western countries and in India. Findings on indulgent/permissive parenting style were mixed in both Western countries and in India. The article discusses cultural shift in the parenting styles, and its implications for the future.
Development and validation of the parental authority QuestionnaireRevised
… of Psychopathology and …, 2002
Baumrind's conceptualization of parenting style has influenced research and theorizing about childrearing for more than 30 years, yet few clinical applications of this work have been realized. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a parenting style measure, the Parental Authority Questionnaire-Revised (PAQ-R). This project furthered the development and validation of the instrument by examining the factor structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity of the PAQ-R in a large, ethnically and socioeconomically diverse sample. The factor structure and reliability of the PAQ-R was modest, but generally within the acceptable range. Specifically, the Authoritarian and Permissive subscales of the PAQ-R had modest reliability and convergent validity; these PAQ-R subscales correlated with relevant subscales of the Parenting Scale and the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory. By contrast, the Authoritativeness subscale had poorer psychometric properties when used in lower SES, primarily African American populations. While African American mothers in the sample reported being more Permissive than did Caucasian mothers, these differences disappeared after controlling for income and maternal education. By contrast, African American mothers continued to report more Authoritarian attitudes even after controlling for income and maternal education.
Emotional And Behavioral Problems Associated With Parenting Styles In Pakistani Adolescents
VFAST transactions on education and social sciences, 2015
Current research was an effort to investigate emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents associated with both mother and father parenting styles. A sample of 300 adolescents from public and private schools of Lahore, (13 to 17 years old, Mean=14.8) were selected to participate in the study. Parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, & permissive) were assessed through parental authority questionnaire (PAQ, Buri, 1991) and emotional behavioral problems were screened with the Youth Self-Report (YSR: Achenbach, & Rescorla, 2001). It was hypothesized that i) there will be relationship between parenting styles and emotional, behavioral problems and ii) parenting styles will predict problem behaviors. Findings revealed that authoritative upbringing of both mother and father was established as most optimum style with significant negative relationship with problem behaviors while authoritarian and permissive parenting for mother and father separately as well as together was associated with different problem behaviors. Regression analysis showed that authoritative parenting predicted lower level of problems and authoritarian and permissive styles are significant predictors of emotional and behavioral problems. This research might contribute to create awareness among parents about the effects of their parenting styles on adolescents' behaviors.

Perception of parents and adolescents on parenting: A sociocultural study
2019
The present study was undertaken at Barpeta district of Lower Assam of North East India in the year 2018. The objectives of the study were to study the perception of parents and adolescents on parenting and to determine the socio-cultural factors on parenting. Sample of the present study comprised of 200 adolescents between age 16 to 17 years of age and their parents. Background information was collected by using a socio-economic status (SES) scale developed by Aggrawal (2005). A self developed parenting style questionnaire was used for studying parenting style. Findings of the study revealed that parents perceived their parenting style as authoritative parenting style with highest mean scores of 33.68 (SD= 5.68). Same as their parents adolescents also perceived their parents parenting as authoritative parenting style with highest mean score of 33.22(SD=5.4).No significant difference was observed between urban and rural adolescents’ perception on their parents’ parenting style.

This study used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the structure and factor loadings of an authoritarian parenting scale. The study used data from 315 married couples who had toddlers participating in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project located in 14 communities across the United States. The sample was diverse and consisted largely of white, African American, and Hispanic low-income parents. The results indicate that the authoritarian parenting scale was a consistent and accurate measure of authoritarian parenting attitudes with both mothers and fathers. Social work practitioners may find this instrument a valuable assessment tool in cases in which there is a focus on parenting skills and attitudes.
