The Impact of Parental Styles on the Development of Psychological Complaints

Abstract

The main aim of the present study was to test Rogers’ theory, stating that parental styles characterized by unconditional positive regard (UPR) promote healthier adults than parental styles characterized by conditional regard (CR). For both caregivers CR was found to be associated with significantly higher scores on psychological complaints than UPR (on nearly all SCL-90 scales and the SCL-total score), even when controlling for gender. Although lack of emotional warmth by the father and harsh discipline by the mother were significant predictors of SCL-90-Total (indicating state neuroticism) it should be noted that both variables only explained a small amount of the total variance. Empirical evidence was found for Rogers’ theory. Others factors than merely emotional warmth and discipline play a role in the etiology of state neuroticism. For future research it is therefore recommended to include other factors, such as daily worries, temperament, and alexithymia

Parenting attitudes have also been categorized in varying ways: as authoritarian, democratic and permissive by Bakhla, Sinha, Sharan, Binay, Verma and Chaudhury (2013); as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, ethnic-minority, indifferent and inconsistent by Maccoby and Martin (1983); and as authoritative, directorial, permissive, democratic, goodenough and disengaged by Baumrind, Larzelere and Owens (2010).…”

The Role of Parenting Styles on Neuroticism in Young Adults

“…A negative parenting style is prone to inflict psychological issues in children once they reach young adulthood. Children who were exposed to low emotional warmth, overprotectiveness and inconsistent disciplinary systems are prone to developing psychological issues in the future such as depression, anxiety, low selfesteem, somatic complaints and hostility [34]. Edwards [35] established that parenting style plays an important part in how children cope with stressors in their life.…”
