“…Parents who lack a sense of efficacy in their own ability to parent seem to be unable to put parenting knowledge into action, become preoccupied with themselves, often experience high levels of emotional arousal, and do not show persistence in parenting (Grusec, Hastings, & Mammone, 1994). This characterization of parents who exhibit poorly established beliefs in their own competencies within the domain of parenting is congruent with Bandura's general conceptualization of self-efficacy.…”

This study was designed to examine parenting self-efficacy beliefs as correlates of mothers' competence in parenting toddlers and as predictors of toddlers' behavior and development. Sixty-eight predominantly middle-class mother-toddler pairs participated in this study. Mothers completed questionnaires, toddlers were administered the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-II), and each dyad participated in the Crowell Procedure, which is designed to observe parent and toddler behaviors in a semistructured laboratory context. Although domain-general and domain-specific parenting self-efficacy beliefs were not associated with parenting competence, domain-specific beliefs were significantly related to toddlers' scores on the Mental Scale of the BSID-II and several behaviors observed during the Crowell Procedure (Affection Towards Mother, Avoidance of Mother, Compliance, Enthusiasm, and Negativity). Implications of the findings are discussed.RESUMEN: Este estudio fue diseñado con el fin de examinar las creencias que se tienen de la autoeficacia en la crianza como correlativos de la capacidad de las madres de criar a sus infantes, así como puntos de predicción de la conducta y desarrollo de los propios infantes. Sesenta y ocho pares de madres y sus infantes, predominantemenmte de clase media, participaron en este estudio. Las madres respondieron cuestionarios; con los infantes se utilizaron las Escalas Bailey para el Desarrollo Infantil. (BSID-II). Cada díada participó en el Procedimiento Crowell, el cual está diseñado para observar las conductas de las madres y de los infantes dentro de un contexto de laboratorio semiestructurado. Aunque las creencias de la propia eficacia como madres, tanto en los aspectos generales como específicos no estuvieron asociadas con la capacidad materna de criar, las creencias específicas estuvieron significativamente relacionadas con los puntajes de los infantes en la Escala Mental de BSID-II y varios de los comportamientos observados durante el Procedimiento Crowell (el afecto hacia la madre, el evitar la madre, obediencia, entusiasmo y negatividad). Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados.RÉ SUMÉ : Cette étude a été conçue pour examiner les croyances d'auto-efficacité de parentage en tant que corrélats de la compétence des mères pour le parentage des enfants en bas âge et en tant que facteurs de prédiction du comportement et du développement des enfants en bas âge. Soixante huit paires mère-jeune enfant (issus de la bourgeoisie) ont participé à cette étude. Les mères remplirent des questionnaires, on

“…Persistent physical control and strong limitations placed on infant behavior might be seen in this context not as interfering with the infant's development of autonomy, but as positive evidence of efforts to raise a well-behaved, respectful child (Harwood, 1992). This type of maternal control, when combined with warm and responsive parent -child relationships, appears to be associated with positive developmental outcomes among cultural groups characterized as more sociocentric than mainstream American culture (Barnett et al, 1998;Grusec, Hastings, & Mammone, 1994;Smith & Krohn, 1995). It would thus appear that maternal control in the context of cultural meaning systems is an important element of maternal sensitivity.…”

This investigation focuses on cultural differences in the relationship between maternal sensitivity, emotional expression, and control strategies during the first year of life and infant attachment outcomes at 12 months. Participants were middle-class Puerto Rican and Anglo mother-infant pairs . Ratings of physical control, emotional expression, and maternal sensitivity during mother-(N ϭ 60) infant interactions in five everyday home settings, videotaped when the infants were 4, 8, and 12 months old, were examined in combination with 12-month Strange Situation classifications. Results suggest that physical control shows a different pattern of relatedness to maternal sensitivity, emotional expression, and attachment outcomes among the Puerto Rican compared to the Anglo mothers in this study. These findings have implications for practitioners and researchers interested in normative parenting among diverse cultural groups.RESUMEN: Esta investigación se enfoca en las diferencias culturales en la relación entre la sensibilidad materna, la expresión emocional y las estrategias de control durante el primer año de vida y los resultados de la afectividad del infante a los 12 meses. En el estudio participaron 60 pares de madres-infantes de origen puertorriqueño y anglosajón. Los puntajes de control físico, expresión emocional y sensibilidad materna, durante las interacciones entre la madre y su infante en cinco situaciones caseras de cada día, grabadas en vídeo cuando los infantes tenían 4, 8 y 12 meses de nacidos, fueron examinados en combinación con las clasificaciones de la "Situación Extraña" a los doce meses. Los resultados indican que el control físico muestra un patrón diferente de relación en cuanto a la sensibilidad materna, a la expresión emocional, y • V.J. Carlson and R.L. Harwooda los resultados de afectividad entre las madres de origen puertorriqueño, al comparárseles con las madres de origen anglosajón en este estudio. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para los practicantes clínicos y los investigadores interesados en la crianza normativa entre grupos culturales diversos.RÉ SUMÉ : L'accent de cette enquête est placé sur les différences culturelles dans la relation entre la sensibilité maternelle, l'expression émotionnelle et les stratégies de contrôle durant la première année de la vie et les résultats en matière d'attachement à l'âge de 12 mois.

“…Desde os trabalhos iniciais de Sears, Maccoby e Levin (1970) sobre como os pais educam seus filhos e quais as conseqüên-cias para o desenvolvimento da criança das variadas formas de socialização, diferentes aspectos das relações parentais foram foco de investigações. Pode-se salientar, por exemplo, as relações pais-filhos e características de apego (Kerns, Aspelmeier, Gentzler & Grabill, 2001;Rosen & Rothbaum, 1993;Stein, Williamson, Birmaher, Brent, Kaufman, Dahl, Perel & Ryan, 2000), as dimensões do estilo parental (Baumrind, 1970;Costa, Teixeira & Gomes, 2000), a importância das crenças parentais nas práticas educativas (Grusec, Hastings & Mammone, 1994;Luster & Okagaki, 1993;Super & Harkness, 1996), a relação das práticas parentais com a psicopatologia infantil (Wamboldt & Wamboldt, 2000;Wasserman, Miller, Pinner & Jaramillo, 1996) e, finalmente, práticas parentais e abuso (Nicholas & Bieber, 1996). Atualmente, a importância da relação entre pais e filhos e das práticas de socialização utilizadas para promoção do desenvolvimento psicossocial da criança baseia-se no entendimento de que os processos relacionais entre pais e filhos são situações complexas, que influenciam e são influenciados pelo contexto imediato de inserção da família e por situações mais distais da organização social e histórica da comunidade (Super & Harkness, 1996;Bronfenbrenner, 1996).…”

ResumoO objetivo deste estudo é construir um inventário das práticas de socialização empregadas por pais e mães com filhos na idade escolar. A necessidade de construir e de verificar as qualidades psicométricas desta nova medida das práticas parentais, baseada nas teorias sociocognitivas e sistêmicas, é sistematicamente apresentada. Uma amostra de 106 pais, de ambos os sexos, de crianças com idades que variam entre seis e dez anos foi utilizada para se verificarem as propriedades psicométricas dessa primeira versão. Os resultados obtidos com a amostra em estudo, especificamente aqueles relativos às análises de itens e de dimensões, das correlações e da estrutura fatorial exploratória, corroboram mais fortemente o construto teórico do que as fortes previsões sugeridas por cálculos de correlação interdimensões. Pesquisas são ainda necessárias a fim de prosseguir os estudos psicométricos do IPP. Palavras-Chave: Práticas parentais; Crianças em idade escolar; Medidas; Validade; Fidedignidade. Elaboration and psychometric evaluation of the Parental Practices Inventory AbstractThe goal of this study is to develop a Parental Practices Inventory (IPP) assessing mothers and fathers' socialization behaviors with school-age children. The need to build and verify the psychometric characteristics of the new instrument, based on social-cognition and systemic theoretical viewpoints, is systematically presented. A sample of 106 parents mothers and fathers with children aged from 6 to 10 years old was utilized to assess the psychometrics characteristics of the first version. Item and dimension analysis, correlation and exploratory factor analysis were performed on the results, which support the theoretical construct of the instrument. Further studies are still needed to obtain more data about the validity of the instrument IPP.

Parenting cognitions and relationship schemas

Abstract: A primary source of parents' feelings of self‐efficacy with respect to child rearing, as well as their explanations for their children's misdeeds, is the mental representations of relationships they have developed.
