“…We were unable to examine paternal influence as only a small proportion of informants were fathers (1.8%). Future studies should include a higher number of fathers as their parenting behaviors may be at least as influential as mothers’ (Rohner et al, 2005). Reliability of some parenting practices, which were not PW, was not optimal.…”

Background Parental warmth (PW) has a strong influence on child development and may precede the onset of psychiatric disorders in children. PW is interconnected with other family processes (e.g., coercive discipline) that may also influence the development of psychiatric disorders in children. We prospectively examined the association between PW and child psychiatric disorders (anxiety, major depression disorder, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders) over the course of three years among Puerto Rican youth, above and beyond the influence of other family factors. Methods Boricua Youth Study participants, Puerto Rican children 5 to 13 years of age at Wave 1 living in the South Bronx (New York) (SB) and San Juan and Canguas (PR) (n = 2,491), were followed for three consecutive years. Youth psychiatric disorders were measured by the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV (DISC-IV). Generalized Linear Mixed models tested the association between PW (Wave 1) and psychiatric disorders in the next two years adjusting for demographic characteristics and family processes. Results Higher levels of PW were related to lower odds of child anxiety and major depressive disorder over time (OR = 0.69[0.60; 0.79]; 0.49[0.41; 0.58], respectively). The strength of the association between PW and ADHD and disruptive behavior disorder declined over time, although it was still significant in the last assessment (OR = 0.44[0.37; 0.52]; 0.46[0.39; 0.54], respectively). PW had a unique influence on psychiatric disorders beyond the influence of other parenting and family processes. Stronger associations were observed among girls for depression and ADHD. Conclusions Incorporating PW behaviors such as acceptance, support, and comforting into interventions focused on parenting skills may help prevent child psychiatric disorders.

“…The shortcomings of single report is especially crucial in the case of parental warmth as previous studies have shown that parents, especially mothers, have difficulty reporting reliably on various familial areas, particularly their own loving and controlling behaviors or familial conflict (Gonzales, Cauce, & Mason, 1996). Additionally, child report and parents’ self‐report often do not concur, especially in the case of mothers on warmth (Rohner, Khaleque, Riaz, et al., 2005).…”

Parental warmth and parental authority-control patterns have been documented as practices with highest significance for children's well-being and development in a variety of life areas. Various forms of these practices have been shown to have a direct positive effect on children and also to protect children from adverse effects of numerous stressors. However, surprisingly, few studies have examined the role of these practices as possible protective factors for children exposed to intractable conflict and political violence. Participants in this study were Jewish (n = 88) and Arab (n = 105) Israeli families, with children aged 7-12.5 (M = 10.73, SD = 0.99). Children completed questionnaires assessing political violence exposure, behavioral, psychological, and social difficulties, and perceived paternal and maternal warmth. Mothers and fathers completed questionnaires assessing parental warmth, parental authority-control, and the child's difficulties. Results showed parental warmth to be a significant moderator of political violence, related to low levels of behavioral and social difficulties of children. Parental authority-control patterns were not protectors from adverse effects of political violence exposure. Maternal authoritarian authority-control showed an effect resembling a risk factor. Differential roles of parental warmth and authority-control, fathers' versus mothers' roles, and ethnic differences are discussed, and practical clinical implications are proposed.

“…This warmth and affection is a range from a great deal to none, where one end is named parental acceptance while the other one is termed rejection (Rohner [12]. The term parent is defined in PARTheory (Rohner., Khaleque., Riaz., Khan., Sadeque., & Laukkala [15] as any person who has a more or less long term care giving responsibility for a child. Such person may be biological or adoptive parents, older sibilngs, grandparents, other relatives or even non-kinspersons.…”
