ScienceDaily (Oct. 21, 2010) — Researchers from the University of Valencia (UV) have identified the effects of the way parents bring up their children on social structure in Spain. Their conclusions show that punishment, deprivation and strict rules impact on a family’s self esteem.

“The objective was to analyse which style of parental socialisation is ideal in Spain by measuring the psychosocial adjustment of children,” says Fernando García, co-author of the study and a researcher at the UV.

The study, which has been published in the latest issue of the journal Infancia y Aprendizaje, was produced on the basis of a nationwide surrey carried out on 948 children and teenagers aged between 10 and 14 (52% of whom were girls), describing the socialisation practices of their parents. On the basis of these answers, the families were classified into one of four classic parental socialisation types — authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent and neglectful.

The results show that the ideal family style in Spain is the indulgent one. “The scores for children from indulgent families were the same, or even better, than those from authoritative families,” the researcher points out.

According to the expert, imposed discipline systems, such as punishments, deprivation and strict rules, which try to force children do things, have a knock-on effect on family self-esteem, and are associated with incomplete emotional development and a certain level of resentment towards the family, even if they are applied by parents who have very cordial relationships with their children, “at least in cultures such as in Spain, where little value is placed on hierarchical relationships.”

The researchers highlight the need for parents to work hard “on aspects that are often not sufficiently addressed,” such as communication, polite relationships, showing an interest in children’s problems and giving reasoned explanations about the consequences of their actions. “These are activities that, at the end of the day, call for involvement, dedication and care,” says García, with the objective being for all people to become mature, responsible and able to do things for themselves.
