This book presents abundant emergent research works of American,
European and Latin American countries, and examine the results of
the research, which include serious questioning of the most popular
ideas about the theory of parenting styles proposed by Diana
Baumrind. Following traditional parenting research approaches that
examine how parents treat their children and how these children fit
into society, the fourteen chapters of this book explore the
various countries of North and South America (United States, Brazil
and Peru) and Europe (Sweden, United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal,
Slovenia, and the Czech Republic), and sampled people from various
backgrounds (for example, adolescents at psychosocial risks, and
elderly people), for determining who has the best parenting style.
The authors' consider different measures of parental behaviour for
different parenting styles (authoritative, indulgent,
authoritarian, or neglectful) and a varied set of criteria to
determine how their children adjust. Childhood health and
well-being outcomes were as varied as academic achievement,
self-esteem, drug use, internalisation of values, forgiveness,
adolescents' scholar adjustment, child-to-parent violence and teen
dating violence. The contributors of this book conclude that
indulgent parenting styles are equal or even better than
authoritative parenting styles, and highlight the importance of
considering cultural influences when the relationships between
parenting and its impact on the well-being of children are
analysed.
