“…The existing literature on parenting styles suggests that, especially for the authoritarian parenting style, culture is a vital contextual factor that may shift the effects on adolescents' outcomes from being negative to be positive or vice versa (K. Chan & S. Chan, 2009;Chao, 1994;Chen & Luster, 2002;Cheung et al, 2008;Hill, 1995).…”

The current study explored the effects of two teaching styles, authoritative and authoritarian, on students' mathematics motivation. The two motivational constructs examined were intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Data were collected from 425 Omani 8th grade students (males = 202/females = 223, mean age = 13.44, SD = 0.79). Through two questionnaires, students reported their perceptions of their math teachers' teaching styles, and their own motivational orientation towards mathematics. Multiple regression models were used to analyze the data. The findings suggest the two teaching styles play a role in predicting students' mathematics motivation. An authoritative teaching style seems to be the better predictor of the two motivational constructs, when compared with an authoritarian style. Eighteen percent of the variance was accounted for in the intrinsic motivation model, compared with only five percent in the extrinsic motivation model. The educational and cultural contexts were discussed in relation to the research results.

“…Training parenting style. Chao (1994) derived six items based on Chinese child-rearing literature concerning ideologies of child development and the mother-child relationship which significantly distinguish Chinese and EuroAmerican mothers, and have modest internal consistency (Chen and Luster 2002). For this study, one item was removed as its content overlapped with the acceptability of spanking.…”

We examined cultural differences in mothers' acceptance of and intent to use behavioral parenting techniques for managing disruptive child behavior, and the possible roles of parenting styles and implicit theories in explaining these cultural differences. A community sample of 117 Euro-Canadian and Chinese-immigrant mothers of boys aged 4-to 8-years participated. Chinese-immigrant mothers had more favorable attitudes towards punishment techniques (i.e., overcorrection and spanking) than EuroCanadian mothers, and mothers' authoritarian parenting style accounted for this cultural difference. No cultural differences were found in mothers' attitudes towards reward (i.e., praise and token economy) or withdrawal of positive reinforcement (i.e., response cost and time-out). This study helps to inform efforts to increase the cultural sensitivity of mental health services for the underserved population of Chinese-immigrant families.

“…Prior to outlining the full hypothesized model, we will first revisit what is known about these hypothesized direct associations among these variables. Belsky's (1984) ecological model positing that parenting is multiply determined by a series of factors such as parent characteristics, child characteristics, and contextual factors has been well supported (e.g., Chen and Luster 2002;Meyers 1999). Collectively, these empirical investigations demonstrate that the overall quality of marital relationships is predictive of parenting.…”

We investigated the associations among marital relationship quality, mothers' parenting styles, and young children's sibling relationship quality drawing on the principles of family systems theory. Survey data were collected from 130 mothers who had a target child (mean age = 4.6 years) with a sibling close in age. The sample consisted of participants who self-identified as Mexican-American (49%), European-American (20%), and Taiwanese in Taiwan (24%). Structural equation modeling was used to test the direct and indirect effects of marital relationships on children's sibling relationship quality through parenting styles and the reciprocal association between sibling relationship quality and parenting styles. The findings revealed evidence of a direct effect of marital relationships on sibling relationship quality and bidirectional relations between sibling relationships and parenting styles. The importance of research on bidirectional associations between sibling relations and parenting styles is discussed.
