Gratitude, Empathy, and Parental Typology in Greek Elementary School Children: The Role of Gender and Culture

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study of 225 Greek elementary students (aged 10-13) examined relationships between perceived parenting styles and children’s gratitude and empathy. CFA of PSDQ-G1 confirmed three parenting types, rejecting the "strict" one. Gratitude and empathy were positively associated with authoritative parenting and negatively with the authoritarian one. Boys exhibited higher gratitude than girls. Findings highlight the role of parenting in children’s emotional development.
