Longitudinal relations among parenting daily hassles, child rearing, and prosocial and aggressive behaviors in Turkish children

Abstract

The present study was designed to examine the longitudinal relations between parenting daily hassles and young children's later prosocial and aggressive behaviors, as well as the mediating role of parenting practices in a non‐Western society. The final sample was 159 middle class Turkish school age children (45.3% girls, Mage= 84.69 months, 76.9% from public school, 23.1% from private school in Bolu, Ankara, and İstanbul) and their mothers. Overall, we found longitudinal evidence that parenting daily hassles, warmth, and physical punishment were significantly and differentially associated with children's prosocial and aggressive behaviors 3 years later. The present findings extend our understanding of the interplay of parenting and stress in predicting children's prosocial and aggressive development in a non‐Western culture

Parental acceptance–rejection and child prosocial behavior: Developmental transactions across the transition to adolescence in nine countries, mothers and fathers, and girls and boys.

“…Studying transactional relations between parenting and child prosocial behavior across a diverse range of countries could help to identify universal developmental socialization processes. Relations between parenting and prosocial behavior have been found in various countries (e.g., Carlo et al, 2011; Gülseven et al, in press; Janssens & Deković, 1997; Mesurado et al, 2014; Romano, Tremblay, Boulerice, & Swisher, 2005), but not all (e.g., Russell, Hart, Robinson, & Olsen, 2003). Two previous studies compared bidirectional relations between parenting and child prosocial behavior across late childhood in 8 or 9 countries, and found relatively consistent effects across countries (Pastorelli et al, 2016; Putnick et al, 2015).…”

The mediational roles of harsh and responsive parenting in the longitudinal relations between socioeconomic status and Turkish children’s emotional development

“…When parents had higher daily hassles, their children tend to show more aggressive behaviors 3 years after. Additionally, parental warmth mediated the link between parenting daily hassles and children’s prosocial behaviors in that when parents had higher daily hassles, they tend to be less warm 2 years later, which in turn positively predicted children’s prosocial behaviors 1 year later (Gülseven, et al, 2017).…”
