“…This is consistent with an interpretation that suggests that prescribed gender roles may influence SA outcomes (Banyard et al, 2004). Indeed, it is possible that boys express their negative emotions through these types of behavior problems, because it is more accepted for boys to show externalizing behaviors (Kim, Arnold, Fisher, & Zeljo, 2005). Another hypothesis that could explain why boys express more aggressiveness is the same gender-perpetrator issue (Banyard et al, 2004).…”

Child Abuse & Neglect

Despite the proliferation of studies documenting outcomes in sexually abused victims, gender differences remain understudied. The bulk of studies have relied on retrospective samples of adults with insufficient representation of male victims to explore gender specificities. This study examined differential outcomes among boy and girl victims of sexual abuse. A predictive model of outcomes including abuse characteristics and sense of guilt as mediators was proposed. Path analysis was conducted with a sample of 447 sexually abused children (319 girls and 128 boys), aged 6 to 12. Being a girl was a predictor of posttraumatic stress symptoms, while being a boy was a predictor of externalizing problems. Being a boy was also associated with more severe abuse, which in turn predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms. Child's gender was not related to perpetrator's relationship to the child or sense of guilt. However, sense of guilt predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms and externalizing problems while perpetrator's relationship to the child predicted externalizing problems. Gender specificities should be further studied among sexually abused children, as boys and girls appear to manifest different outcomes. Sense of guilt should be a target in intervention for sexually abused children, as results highlight its link to heightened negative outcomes.

“…A study by Gryckowski, Jordan and Mercer [30]gives support to these findings, they reported that mother's loose /indulgent attitude was related to disruptive behaviour of both boys and girls. Whereas another study have found the significant relationship between permissive parenting and disruptive behavior of boys only (e.g., Kim, Park, Cheon, Kim, Cho,& Hong, [25].…”

ABSTRACT. (Robinson, Mandelco, Olsen, & Hart, 2001). Authoritarian/ permissive styles were significantly correlated with ODB and fathers' permissiveness, authoritative style and ADHD came out to be significant predictors, differentially across two settings. parenting practices and ADHD. The reporting participants about boys (N=200) included teachers (N=40) and parents (N=400).The ODB & ADHD was measured by Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behaviour inventory (Burns, 2010) and parenting styles by Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire

“…In some previous studies, an association between gender and parenting practices has been found: in particular, mothers give more commands to difficult daughters than to non-problematic daughters, and mothers give fewer commands to difficult sons than to non-problematic sons (Gordon, 1983; Kim, Arnold, Fisher, & Zeljo, 2005). Finally, the majority of studies report less parental acceptance of irritability and negative affect in girls than in boys (Putnam, Sanson, & Rothbart, 2002).…”

Parenting Practices and Child Misbehavior: A Mixed-Method Study of Italian Mothers and Children

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective The present study uses a mixed qualitative and quantitative method to examine three main research questions: What are the practices that mothers report they use when trying to correct their children’s misbehaviors? Are there common patterns of these practices? Are the patterns that emerge related to children’s well-being? Design Italian mother-child dyads (N=103) participated in the study (when children were 8 years of age). At Time 1 (T1), mothers answered open-ended questions about discipline; in addition, measures of maternal physical discipline and rejection and child aggression were assessed in mothers and children at T1, one year later (T2), and two years later (T3). Results Mothers’ answers to open-ended questions about what they would do in three disciplinary situations were classified in six categories: physical or psychological punishment, control, mix of force and reasoning, reasoning, listening, and permissiveness. Cluster analysis yielded 3 clusters: Group 1, Induction (predominant use of reasoning and listening; 74%); Group 2, Punishment (punitive practices and no reasoning; 16%); Group 3, Mixed practices (combination of reasoning and punishment, as well as high control and no listening; 10%). Multiple-group latent growth curves of maternal physical discipline, maternal rejection, and child aggression were implemented to evaluate possible differences in the developmental trends from T1 to T3, as a function of cluster. Conclusions Qualitative data deepen understanding of parenting because they shed light on what parents think about themselves; their self-descriptions, in turn, help to identify ways of parenting that may have long-lasting consequences for children’s adjustment.
