Abstract

Current emergent studies are seriously questioning if parental strictness contributes to adolescent adjustment. This study examined whether the relationship between authoritative (warmth and strictness), authoritarian (strictness without warmth), indulgent (warmth without strictness), and neglectful (neither warmth nor strictness) parenting styles shows equal or different pattern of adjustment and maladjustment for aggressive and non-aggressive adolescents. The sample consisted of 969 Spanish adolescents, 554 females (57.2%) and 415 males, ranging from 12 to 17 years old. Families were classified into one of four typologies by their scores on warmth and strictness, and the adolescents were grouped by their aggressiveness (low vs. high). Adolescent adjustment was captured with three self-esteem indicators (emotional, physical, and family) and personal maladjustment with five indicators (negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy, emotional irresponsiveness, emotional instability, and negative worldview). It was tested main and interaction effects between parenting and aggressiveness considering also sex and age factors. Findings showed that aggressive adolescents always had the worst socialization outcomes (i.e., the lowest self-esteem and the highest personal maladjustment). Aggressive and non-aggressive adolescents have a common pattern: both, indulgent and authoritative parenting styles were always associated with better outcomes than either authoritarian or neglectful parenting, but indulgent parenting style was associated with the best outcomes across all the criteria. In contrast with previous evidence about the idea that parental strictness and imposition might be beneficial to raise aggressive adolescents, present findings highlight the positive impact of parental warmth even with aggressive adolescents. Implications for family interventions were considered.

父母教养方式与攻击性青少年:与自尊和个人适应不良的关系
目前的新兴研究严重质疑父母的严厉是否有助于青少年的适应。本研究考察了权威型(温暖加严格)、权威型(严格加温暖)、放纵型(温暖加严格)和忽视型(既温暖又不严格)的教养方式在攻击性和非攻击性青少年的适应和不适应模式中是否表现出相同或不同的关系。样本包括969名西班牙青少年,554名女性(57.2%)和415名男性,年龄从12岁到17岁不等。根据温暖和严格的得分将家庭分为四种类型之一,青少年则根据他们的攻击性(低与高)进行分组。青少年适应表现为3个自尊指标(情绪、身体和家庭)和5个个人适应不良指标(消极自尊、消极自我充分性、情绪无反应、情绪不稳定和消极世界观)。在考虑性别和年龄因素的情况下,检验了父母教养与攻击性之间的主效应和交互效应。结果表明,攻击性青少年的社会化结果最差(自尊最低,个人适应不良程度最高)。攻击性和非攻击性的青少年有一个共同的模式:溺爱和权威的父母方式总是比专制或忽视的父母方式有更好的结果,但溺爱的父母方式在所有标准中都有最好的结果。与之前关于父母的严格和强制可能有利于培养具有攻击性的青少年的观点相反,目前的研究结果强调了父母的温暖甚至对具有攻击性的青少年也有积极的影响。讨论了对家庭干预的影响。
