Baumrind's Parenting Styles

Responsiveness/acceptance and Demandingness/control, predicting children’s social, emotional, and cognitive functioning.

Authoritative Parenting

Parents are both responsive and demanding; they encourage independence but set limits, expect age-appropriate behavior, and use reasonable punishment. Children tend to be successful, well-liked, generous, and independent.

Permissive Parenting

Parents are responsive but not demanding; they are nurturing and accepting but have low expectations and avoid discipline. Children tend to be immature, impulsive, short-tempered, unaccustomed to rules, and insensitive to others.

Authoritarian Parenting

Parents are demanding but not responsive; they are restrictive and controlling, expect rules to be followed without explanation, and may use aggressive punishment. Children tend to be low in self-esteem, anxious, and have underdeveloped or externally focused morality.

Disengaged Parenting

Parents are neither responsive nor demanding; they are emotionally unsupportive, low in warmth, and generally uninvolved. Children tend to be emotionally withdrawn, attempt to provide for themselves, and lack an internal sense of discipline.

Determinants of Parenting Behavior Model

Developed by Belsky (1984), this model identifies Parent characteristics, Child characteristics, and Contextual factors as key influences on parenting.

Parental weaving techniques

Strategies for reconciling work and family demands, contributing to child wellbeing. Work-family conflict impacts negatively on child health.

Autonomy

Basic psychological need related to wellbeing, even in collectivist cultures. Supported by autonomy-supportive parenting.

Bidirectional

Basic psychological needs theory

Part of Self-Determination Theory, includes autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Meeting these needs leads to better ability to meet needs of others.
