Discuss the Parenting Styles theory as proposed by Diana Baumrind, with an explanation of why this theory is relevant to personality psychology as supported by current research discussing authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting, as well as exploring how the influences of parenting styles vary across cultures and the effect on children’s development. Introduction: Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist, created the terms authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles. (Muraco, 2020) According to Baumrind′s Pillar theory, there is a significant connection between parenting style and children′s behavior. Different parenting methods are thought to result in varying child development and outcomes. (Li, 2022) 1st Main Point: That Serves to Prove Your Thesis: Authoritative Parenting • 1st piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Cherry, 2020) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) The authoritative parenting style is sometimes referred to as ″democratic.″ It involves a child-centric approach in which parents hold high expectations for their children backed by support and guidance. • 2nd piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Sorkhabi & Mandara, 2013) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) Children with authoritative parents are more competent, emotionally balanced, higher achievers, and less likely to take illegal substances or participate in other dangerous activities than children with nonauthoritative parents, according to research. However, it is unclear if the typology truly captures non–European American parenting approaches. Baumrind′s original sample consisted almost entirely of high-functioning two-parent middle-class European American families, raising the possibility that the authoritative model is only relevant to these types of households. 2nd Main Point: That Serves to Prove Your Thesis: Authoritarian Parenting • 1st piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Cherry , 2021) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) People with this parenting style often use punishment rather than discipline. They are commonly not willing or able to explain the reasoning behind their rules. • 2nd piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Siu Mui Chan, 2010) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) Authoritarian parenting is characterized by a lack of responsiveness and affection, as well as a high level of coercive control. Physical punishment, verbal animosity, and non-reasoning are among the disciplinary tactics utilized. Because of the distinct meanings connected with it for Chinese people, authoritarian parenting, which has been linked to negative developmental outcomes in Western countries, may not have the same impact on Chinese children. A growing number of studies have been conducted using Chinese samples to see if the impact of authoritarian parenting on children′s development is culturally specific or common. 3rd Main Point that Serves to Prove your Thesis: Permissive Parenting • 1st piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Cherry, 2021) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) Permissive parenting is a type of parenting style characterized by low demands with high responsiveness. Permissive parents tend to be very loving yet provide few guidelines and rules. These parents do not expect mature behavior from their children and often seem more like a friend than a parental figure. • 2nd piece of research That Supports this Main Point (Trautner, 2017) o How does this article support this main point (key ideas) Permissive parents are not demanding. Kids do not have many responsibilities and are allowed to regulate their behavior and most of their choices. Conclusion What Have You found in your research and how does this apply to your thesis: In this paper I discussed Diana Baumrind′s Parenting Styles theory, as well as why it is relevant to personality psychology, as evidenced by current research on authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting, as well as how the influences of parenting styles differ across cultures and their impact on children′s development. Baumrind′s first research was biased, concentrating on Western European two-parent households and not taking into account diverse ethnic groups and cultural parenting practices. References Muraco, J.
