“…In our study, we nevertheless found low helicopter parenting levels. Moreover, the resilience found in our sample might have decreased the likelihood of exhibiting depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms even in the case of overprotective parenting, in line with the literature [ 67 ]. Our study showed that trainees’ resilience was higher when they received more support at the workplace.…”

“…Our study showed low mean scores of helicopter parenting style among our sample, and a lack of association with the medical trainees’ mental health outcomes. This might be related to cultural context, however, literature shows larger detrimental effects of helicopter parenting in collectivist cultures than in individualistic cultures [ 66 , 67 ]. In collectivist cultures, like the context of our study, university students do not work and depend on their parents financially during their university education.…”

Introduction The negative impact of medical training on trainee mental health continues to be a concern. Situated within a sociocultural milieu, Generation Z and Generation Y, defined by their highly involved parents and the widespread use of technology, currently dominate undergraduate and graduate medical education respectively. It is necessary to explore medical trainees’ generational characteristics and job-related factors related to stress, burnout, depression, and resilience. This might provide different perspectives and potential solutions to medical trainees’ mental health. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical trainees (students and residents) from two institutions in Qatar. A self-administered online survey included measures for trainees’ social media overuse, their parent’s parenting style, the educational support by the clinical teacher, job (demands, control, and support), and work-life balance and their relation with their stress, burnout, depression, and resilience. Relationships were tested with multiple linear regression analyses. Results Of the 326 medical trainees who responded, 142 (44%) trainees − 93 students and 49 residents – completed all items and were included in the analysis. Social media overuse and inability to maintain a work-life balance were associated with higher levels of stress, depression, and student burnout. Higher levels of job support were associated with lower levels of stress, depression, and resident burnout, and a higher level of resilience. Job control was associated with lower burnout levels. Parenting style was unrelated to trainees’ mental health. Discussion The two generations ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ dominating current medical training showed more stress-related complaints when there is evidence of social media overuse and failure to maintain a work-life balance, while job support counterbalances this, whereas parenting style showed no effect. Measures to enhance medical trainees’ mental health may include education about the wise use of social media, encouraging spending more quality social time, and enhancing job support and job control.

“…As a result of changes in work, life, and learning styles, parents and their children have experienced extraordinary pressure. Several studies have demonstrated that helicopter parenting in such extreme circumstances may have more adverse consequences on children's mental health and conduct, potentially impairing their ability to develop the psychological resilience needed to cope with adversity [70][71][72]. In the foregoing context, this study found that helicopter parenting leads to significant negative consequences for college students.…”

An Investigation of Helicopter Parenting and Interpersonal Conflict in a Competitive College Climate

With declining birth rates, and decreasing family sizes being witnessed around the world, helicopter parenting—characterized by high warmth, high control, and low empowerment—is becoming increasingly common among parents. Parenting styles exert long-term effects on individuals’ cognition and behavior, not only in early childhood, but also in adulthood: therefore, within this context, this study explored the underlying influence mechanism of helicopter parenting style on interpersonal conflict, through a survey of 505 Chinese college students. Using multiwave data, our analysis uncovered the mediating roles of psychological entitlement and fear of missing out, as well as the moderating role of a competitive climate. In particular, we found that helicopter parenting enhances interpersonal conflict among college students, by strengthening psychological entitlement and fear of missing out. In addition, the indirect effect of fear of missing out is stronger than that of psychological entitlement. We also found that a competitive climate positively moderates the indirect effect of helicopter parenting on interpersonal conflict among college students through psychological entitlement and fear of missing out, indicating that the negative effects of helicopter parenting are more pronounced in a high competitive climate. These results provide a novel theoretical account of how early parenting styles affect an adult’s cognition and behavior. Practically, these results suggest that parents should limit the use of helicopter parenting, and that, while loving and caring for their child, they should allow their child appropriate autonomy. On the other hand, children should strive for positive self-improvement and harmonious peer relationships, to alleviate the negative influence of helicopter parenting.

“…These parents, who try to control their children's environment, unintentionally prevent their children from encountering new experiences and learning about the world (Awiszus et al, 2021). Discussions continue about these parents who use an unhealthy coping strategy for today's threat conditions their children face (Seki et al, 2023). On the other hand, Lee et al (2014) indicate both advantages and disadvantages of helicopter parenting.…”

The increasing prevalence of brain research and the fact that the findings reveal important arguments about the learning process have led to the proliferation of brain-based learning studies. Brain-based learning principles, introduced by Caine and Caine in 1991, are frequently used in the literature and shed light on educational research. However, in today's changing conditions, educational environments have remarkably differentiated, the opportunities for learners have increased more than ever before, threats such as the Covid-19 pandemic and natural disasters have directly affected education, and technological advances have made a breakthrough with artificial intelligence. There are studies evaluating 12 accepted and frequently used brain-based learning principles in the literature, but there is no review study that addresses brain-based learning principles in today's changing conditions. Therefore, this article aims to examine the principles of brain-based learning in today's changing conditions. Increasing threats in the rapidly changing world pose a risk to brain-based learning. Also, increasingly common helicopter parenting and artificial intelligence hinder brain-based learning, although they have some advantages. However, on the other hand, the fact that technological developments make educational environments richer and increase the opportunities for learners greatly facilitates brain-based learning. Thus, brain-based learning principles have become much more meaningful and gained great importance in today's world.
