“…From a developmental perspective, parenting plays an important role in the development of children and adolescents (Aunola and Nurmi 2005;Lansford et al 2005;Roopnarine et al 2006). Parenting has a number of interacting factors (such as personal stresses or societal demands) that could play a role in their approaches to parenting (Belsky 1984;Thomson et al 2014).…”

Decision Making Styles: A Systematic Review of Their Associations with Parenting

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Decision making is a task that individuals face on a daily basis. The process of making a decision differs from one person to another. The processes involved in making a decision are defined as decision making styles, which can be either adaptive or maladaptive. Children and adolescents' decision making, however, often is thought to be associated with parenting. This review examines and describes previous studies examining the associations between decision making styles and parenting approaches. It suggests that maladaptive decision making styles are the most prevalent, and that they often are associated with detrimental outcomes for children and adolescents' development. Maladaptive decision making styles also are associated with negative parenting approaches. The review reveals that western and non-western societies play an important role in shaping these associations; however, it also finds that age and gender do not play a significant role. The review highlights gaps in literature focusing on decision making and parenting, and the continents where little research has examined the associations presented. The review adds to current debates and knowledge on youth development by providing an understanding of decision making styles from an international perspective as well as from the important role that parents play.

“…Prior research has suggested differences based on these factors, such that there are social and cultural benefits for immigrant children when parents are more open and accepting of the host culture (Pawliuk et al 1996;Sabatier and Berry 2008). Furthermore, there appear to be differences in the benefits for immigrant children based on mothers' and fathers' individual parenting styles and acculturation (Nguyen 2008;Roopnarine et al 2006). Future research should consider exploring differences in outcomes based on these factors.…”

Made in America: Perspectives on Friendship in West African Immigrant Families

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This qualitative study compared West African immigrant parents' and adolescents' perspectives on parental monitoring of adolescents' peer groups. Parents (n = 31) and adolescent children (n = 25) were interviewed using focus groups and individual interviews, and data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Parents expressed a general concern about external influences on their children, particularly their mistrust of their children's friends. Adolescents reported that they were aware of their parents' fears and described their attempts to manage their parents' concerns while simultaneously maintaining friendships with same-ethnic and other-ethnic peers. This study offers both parent and adolescent perspectives in an effort to better understand adolescents' peer socialization and parental monitoring among West African immigrant families, one of the fastest growing demographic groups in the United States. Recommendations for mental health professions are discussed.

“…Moreover, the sample consisted of 8 Arab countries, which have various values and traditions and can affect the findings, but the sample of the current study covers the Jordanian society. Roopnarine et al ( 2006 ) investigate how parents' styles affect children's academic skills, on the one hand, and the effects of parenting styles on their children's social behaviors among kindergarten-age children, on the other. The sample consisted of seventy mothers and fathers.…”

The present paper investigates the emotive and expressive socio-pragmatic function in the Jordanian parent-child interactions in Irbid City, Jordan. A sample of 100 children from different areas of Irbid was chosen randomly from schools in Irbid governorate in North Jordan. It consisted of pupils at grade 5 who are 11 years old. Half of the sample were males, whereas the second half were females. A questionnaire of 5 items was directed to the school children to measure the expressive and emotive socio-pragmatic function. The results showed that parent-child interactions in Jordanian Arabic exhibit the emotive and expressive socio-pragmatic function. The results also showed that parents' interactions affect the children's personality and behavior positively through applying certain tactics and styles.
