“…In the 10th grade surveys, students were asked about several aspects of school climate. School order refers to the amount of confusion and chaos in the classroom and was assessed using a 6-item scale that we adapted from a measure of chaos in the home environment developed by Matheny and colleagues [ 15 , 16 ]. A simple summation of the 6-items was used to create a school order measure with higher scores indicating a more orderly and less chaotic school climate.…”

Background Schools and school climate are thought to influence academic outcomes as well as child and adolescent development, health and well-being. We sought to examine the relationship between several aspects of the school climate with adolescent social-emotional health outcomes. Methods We analysed data from the Reducing Inequities through Social and Educational change Follow-up (RISE UP) Study, a longitudinal natural experimental study of Los Angeles high school students collected from 2013 to 2018. We analysed data on the portion of the sample that completed the baseline, 10th grade and 11th grade surveys (n=1114). Students reported their perceptions of school climate at 10th grade and social-emotional outcomes including grit, self-efficacy, depression, hopelessness, and stress at baseline (9th grade) and at 11th grade. Multivariable regressions adjusted for student and parental demographics and baseline social-emotional states tested associations between school climate and each outcome. Results Students who reported being in authoritative school environments in 10th grade, one that is highly supportive and highly structured, had subsequently higher levels of self-efficacy (p< 0.001) and grit (p=0.01). They also had fewer depressive symptoms (p=0.008), and less hopelessness (p = 0.01), stress at school (p=0.002) and stress about the future (p=0.03) reported in 11th grade. Conclusions School climate, and particularly an authoritative school environment, is strongly associated with better social-emotional health among adolescents. Relationship with teachers and their disciplinary style may be a focus for future interventions to improve the social-emotional health of children.

“…In other words, adolescent athletes valued sportsmanship above gamesmanship. However, families and parents vary in a manner in which they socialize their children, which, according to a large body of research, may be related to various differences in children’s moral, behavioral, and emotional development ( Pinquart, 2017a , b ; Pinquart and Gerke, 2019 ; Fatima et al, 2020 ). While both parents play a significant role in their child’s sporting activity, there are differences in the roles that the genders play in conveying values and norms through the socialization of children regarding sports ( Palomo-Nieto et al, 2011 ).…”

“…Indeed, as compared to an offspring from non-authoritative families, adolescents who were raised by authoritative parents exhibit several developmental socio-emotional advantages: they academically outperform their counterparts at school ( Spera, 2005 ; Pinquart and Kauser, 2018 ), manifest better psychological adjustment in terms of lower depression and anxiety ( Pinquart, 2017a ; Yaffe, 2018a ), tend to be more morally developed while engaging with less behavior and externalized problems ( Freeze et al, 2014 ; Pinquart, 2017b ; Fatima et al, 2020 ), have higher self-esteem ( Pinquart and Gerke, 2019 ; more), and are more likely to be health behaviorally oriented ( Vollmer and Mobley, 2013 ; Yaffe, 2018b ). Accordingly, Darling and Steinberg (1993) submitted that since offspring of authoritative parents tend to endorse their parents’ parental authority and feel obligated to obey their rules, they are more convenient for parental socialization and, consequently, tend to internalize more intensively their parents’ social and moral values.…”

Morality and Values in Sports Among Young Athletes: The Role of Sport Type and Parenting Styles – A Pilot Study

et al. 2021

Given the great importance of morality and values in modern sports, especially among young athletes, in this pilot study, we sought to broaden the exploration of the factors that may play role in these contexts, which have not been widely researched to date. Accordingly, the study tested the relationships between sport type (team or individual) and parenting styles (authoritative vs. non-authoritative), and moral decision-making in sport and sport values among 110 adolescent athletes whose age ranges from 11 to 22 (M = 16.04, SD = 2.86). The findings indicated that participants with authoritative parents, as compared to those with non-authoritative parents, are significantly less accepting of cheating in sport, while they also tend more to keep winning in proportion and hold significantly stronger moral values toward sports. Moreover, participants whose main sport is a team sport type tend to accept more cheating and gamesmanship than participants whose main sport is an individualistic sport type. While no differences were recorded between these groups in moral values, team athletes tend to value status in sport more than individual athletes, while the latter tend to value competence regarding their sport. The implications of the findings are discussed in light of no interaction between the effects of parenting styles and sport type on moral and sport values.

“…This scale has demonstrated excellent reliability and validity in past research (α = .82; Camisasca et al, 2016b ; Camisasca, Miragoli, Di Blasio & Feinberg, 2018 ) and in the current sample (α = .80). Following the suggestions of Fosco and Grych (2008) , children’s, mothers’, and fathers’ reports were converted into z -scores and then computed the mean score to create a single score of Child-Related Inter-parental Conflict.…”

Children’s cognitive and emotional processes in adult versus child-related inter-parental conflicts

2019

In the literature, little attention has been paid to the specific impact of child-related versus adult-related inter-parental conflicts on children’s intrapersonal processes and adjustment. Aimed to advance knowledge on this topic, the cross-sectional study explores: 1) the predictive effects of the two forms of inter-parental conflicts on: a) children’s internalizing/externalizing behaviors and b) children’s cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation; 2) the mediating role of children’s cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation, in the association between adult-related vs child-related conflict and children’s adjustment. Seventy-five school-aged children and their parents completed measures of inter-parental conflict, cognitive, emotional and behavioral processes and child adjustment. The results indicated that: 1) higher levels of adult-related inter-parental conflict promoted children’s internalizing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat; 2) higher levels of child-related inter-parental discord promoted both children’s internalizing/externalzing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat and self-blame.
