Parenting Practices and Personal Values: Comparison Between Parents of Institutionalized and Non-institutionalized Adolescents

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between personal values, parenting practices and adolescents' institutionalization.We investigated differences between two groups of parents: 235 parents of adolescents attending regular schools and 92 parents of adolescents attending reformatory schools.The results indicate that benevolence was positively associated with parenting practices, but self-enhancement and hedonism had negative correlations with parenting practices.Parents of institutionalized adolescents rated benevolence and conservatism higher and broadmindedness lower than parents of noninstitutionalized adolescents.Differences in parenting practices also emerged in connection with social norms, setting limits, and physical safety.We also established the effect of parents` socio-economic status on adolescents' institutionalization.
