PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 2

Introduction

Parenting Style and Child rearing

From the time that our mothers got pregnant, she already had a care for us

because we were in our mother’s womb for nine months. And from the time that we are

born, our parents we’re the ones who first supported us. They are the first person that

guided us when we we’re just a child. They taught us basic things that a person can do

that created our personality. This research is about the relationship of parenting style on

personality development among college students. This research is about child rearing.

The purpose of this research is to explain how raising a child moulds his or her

personality. Parenting style is studied extensively for human development. It can be said

that the way parents take care of their child impact the child's personality development,

social interaction and from close relationships with significant other. Parents influence

their children in their development during each stage of life. In infancy, parents interact

with their children and choose their clothing, diet, and entertainment. Throughout

childhood, they determine with whom their children interact, the activities in which their

children participate, and how their children manage their emotions which as early as that

age, they already during adolescence, parents exert their influence by providing advice

about schoolwork, social dilemmas, and values. Parents are also involved on the way they

raise their child, therefore their child can grow well. The Personality of the child depends

on the way they were raise. It is according to the parenting style that they use to raise

their child that’s why their child developed their personality in a way that their parents

raised them.

Review of Related Literature

Child’s development from infancy to adolescence

Parenting style has been referred to as a socialization approach to raising children

through which parents teach their children norms, values, behavior, and social skills

(Deci, Eghrari, Patrick, & Leone, 1994; Deci & Ryan, 1995). . Throughout development

from childhood to adolescence, parents play an important role in the development of their

child‘s regulation of emotions and behaviors, as well as their child‘s self-esteem and

identity (Shaffer & Kipp, 2010).Our parents taught us many disciplines when we were a

child, they taught us what is right and what is wrong and they taught us on how to do a

lot of things from reading, writing, walking, and many other things. Our parents have

different kind of ways on raising us that’s also why we have different personality. So

basically, there is a big relationship between the styles of parenting that is used in raising

a child that created his or her personality. Parenting can be explained in terms of two

components such as parental responsiveness and demandingness (Fletcher, Walls, Cook,

Madison, & Bridges, 2008). Parental demandingness is the extent to which parents set

guidelines for their children, and how their discipline based on these guidelines. Parental

demandingness is expressed as the behavioural control and the expectations put on their

children to become a part of the family by the parents’ rules, supervision, and disciplinary

practices Parental responsiveness is the emotional characteristic of parenting.

Responsiveness passes on to the degree to which parents support their children and attend

their children's needs.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 4

Both parenting responsive and demanding has been linked to secure attachment in

children (Karavasilis, Doyle & Mickiewicz, 2003). Responsiveness is described as

warmth or supportiveness, which refers to the extent to which parents intentionally

cultivate their children’s individuality, self-regulation strategies, and assertiveness by

giving attention, providing support, and responding to particular concerns, needs, and

demands. Baumrind identified three styles of parenting: authoritative, authoritarian, and

permissive with these concepts of responsiveness and demandingness in mind

(Baumrind, 1971).

The Three Styles of Parenting

Authoritative parenting

Authoritative parent is a combination of demandingness and responsiveness. They

make logical demands, set limits and insist on children’s compliance, whereas at the

same time, they are warm, accept the children’s points of view, and encourage the

children’s participation in decision making and often seek their children’s views in family

considerations and decisions (Berg, 2011; Weiss & Schwarz, 1996; Zupancic, Podlesek,

& Kavcic, 2004). This type of parent monitors and disciplines their children fairly, while

being very supportive at the same time (Baumrind, 1971).

Authoritarian Parenting

The authoritarian parenting style of parents is demanding and unresponsive. They

engage in little mutual interaction with the children and expect them to accept adult’s

demands without any questions. Authoritarian parenting style has low acceptance and

high control on their children. They use physical punishment or threats for wrong doings.
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 5

They think that the child should obey all orders without asking any question. These

parents always showed rigid behavior and high control even when the child has grown up

maturity or matured age. They are emotionally distant with their children and may be

rejecting. Power-assertive techniques of socialization (threads, commands, physical force,

love withdrawal) use by authoritarian parents and restrain children’s self expression and

independence (Zupancic et al., 2004). Authoritarian parents are inclined to set high

standards and guidelines and obedience is required. Authoritarian parents connect love

with success and are not as nurturing as the other two styles of parenting (Berg, 2011).

Permissive Parenting

The permissive parenting comprises few clear and predictable rules because

follow-through is not constant and misconduct is ignored, neutral or positive affective

tone. They give children a high level of freedom and do not restrain their behaviors

unless physical harm is involved (Rossman & Rea, 2005). The permissive parents make

few demands, exhibiting non-controlling behavior and use minimal punishment. The

dominant paradigm for studying parental socialization in the last 25 years of the 20th

century was through the examination of parenting styles, or the usual patterns of control,

responsiveness, warmth, and punishment that parents use most often, across contexts and

over time, to manage their children’s behavior. Permissive parenting exposes an overly

tolerant approach for socialization with responsive and undemanding parenting

behaviour. These parents are nurturing and accepting, but at the same time they avoid

imposing demands and controls over child’s behavior (Zupancic et al., 2004). They have

little or no expectations for their children and often view their children as friends and

have few limits imposed (Berg, 2011).


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 6

Authoritative parenting could support pro-social behavior by modelling other-

oriented behavior those children may emulate, encouraging children to be more

considerate and caring, and eliciting affection and connectedness that make children more

receptive to efforts to foster concern for others (Hastings et al., 2000). On the one hand

Rossman and Rea, (2005) study in western culture explored that authoritative parenting

lead to better child adaptation and less externalizing problems such as being less

aggressive and higher learning and conduct problems in children are due to strong

authoritarian parenting while permissive parenting leads to a higher anxiety level and

higher internalising problems in children such as depression and social withdrawal.)

.Lamborn Mounts, Steinberg, and Dornbusch (1991) study investigated that authoritative

parents reported significantly higher academic capability, lower levels of problem

behavior, and higher levels of psychosocial development. Same result of Steinberg,

Lamborn, Dornbusch & Darling, (1992) study that Parental involvement in the context of

an authoritative home environment is much more likely to promote school success.

Similarly Adolescent with authoritative home environment do good in school, more self-

reliance, report less psychological distress, and engage less in delinquent activity

(Steinberg, Mounts, Lamborn, & Dornbusch, 1991). Same result of study of Strage and

Brandt (1999) showed that college students living in an Authoritative home reported

more persistence, confidence, and academic success compared with their counterparts.

Cohen and Rice (1997) study indicated that high grades were related with child and

parent perception of higher authoritativeness and Child alcohol and tobacco use was

associated with child perception of higher permissiveness.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 7

The Two Parenting Style based on Present Research Projects

Parental Autonomy Support. Parents with the autonomy support parenting style

encourage their children to be self-starters, independent decision makers, and

autonomous individuals. Parents actively support their children by providing rationale for

their requests, recognizing and discussing the feelings of their children, offering choices

to foster decision making skills, and minimizing the use of controlling techniques such as

conditional affection (Joussemet et al., 2008). For example you’re making your child be a

more responsible person by asking him or her to clean up his or her room. In that way he

or she will know his or her responsibility as a son and daughter living in the house. They

learn to be more industrious. Using Parental Autonomy Support, the child can be

independent because he or she is being trained to do thing on his or her own.

Parental Conditional Regard. In contrast to parental autonomy support through which

parents provide unconditional support for their children, parental conditional regard

motivates children to exhibit desirable behaviors by making parental affection contingent

on the child‘s good or bad behavior (Roth, et al., 2009; Barber, 2002). There are two

types of conditional regard: positive and negative. Positive regard involves providing

more affection for good behavior while negative regard involves withdrawing affection

for bad behavior. For example, children who earn good grades in school might be

rewarded with verbal praise, “Job well done!” and a hug from their parents. On the other

hand, children who earn poor grades in school might be given the cold shoulder or

ignored by their parents.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 8

Parental Autonomy Support can be helpful because the parents make their

children be more independent and praise them when they achieve something, encourage

them to be responsible and learn from his own. Parental Conditional Regard can also be

helpful in raising a child well because the outcome of the parent’s treatment depends on

the children’s behavior. The parents are making their children to be more independent in

a way that they should know what they should do and they also should know their

responsibilities. They should know what is right and what is wrong. In that way, the child

is having a good characteristics and he or she will have a good behavior.

Identity Development

Parenting style and self-regulation of behavior influence the way in which

children make decisions, which relate directly to the process of identity development and

choices about one‘s life path. Marcia (1980) defined identity as a dynamic, self-

constructed organization of abilities, beliefs, needs, and personal experiences. According

to Marcia (1966, 1980), identity development is a function of exploration and

commitment. Exploration refers to how much individuals have considered various

viewpoints within a particular realm of their life. For example, individuals who consider

what it means to be liberal and conservative have explored within the realm of political

identity. Commitment refers to whether or not individuals have decided which viewpoint

suits them best. Perhaps the same individuals decide that they identify most with

conservative politics and commit to that ideology.

Personality development implies progressive identification with higher

dimensions of personality. Thus a person identified only with the physical dimension

without exercising his higher mental faculties, lives not far different from animals, whose
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 9

pleasure and pain are restricted to the sensory system. Adolescence is the time where a

person is exploring many new things. They discover a lot of things from themselves; they

experience many changes in life. They are also starting to create their own personality at

this stage. When they learn something new, they tend to apply it to their lives and it either

help them to grow or to just be an experience to them.

Present Study

Parenting style, according to the literature, functions as a socializing context

through which children learn how to behave, make decisions, and manage their emotions.

This study focuses on the role of parenting style in self-regulation and identity

development during emerging adulthood, as well as the relationship between parenting

style and emotional outcomes such as self-esteem, contingent self-esteem, and

satisfaction with life. Unlike previous research, this study proposes a mediational role for

self-regulation, such that parenting style predicts identity development through its

relationship with self-regulation. Also, this study examines the relationship between

parenting style, and parental conditional regard in particular, with contingent self-esteem.

Parenting styles are important because they have been associated with critical

developmental outcomes including social, psychological, and emotional well-being,

cognitive development, and academic adjustment (Baumrind, 1971; Boveja, 1998;

Deater-Deckard, Dodge, Bates, & Petit, 1996; Grolnick & Ryan, 1989; Kochanska,

Murray, & Coy, 1997; Mounts,2004; Prelow, Bowman, & Weaver, 2007; Silva, Dorso,

Azhar, & Renk, 2007; Steinberg, Elmen,

Personality is the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with

others. Or Personality is generally defined as the deeply ingrained and relatively enduring
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 10

patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. In fact, when one refers to personality, it

generally implies to all what is unique about an individual, the characteristics that makes

one stand out in a crowd. Personalities is the sum total of individual’s Psychological

traits, characteristics, motives, habits, attitudes, beliefs and outlooks.

Personality determinants

Heredity: Heredity refers to those factors that were determined at conception. Physical

structure, facial attractiveness, gender, temperament, muscle composition and reflexes,

energy level, and biological Rhythms are characteristics that are generally considered to

be either completely or substantially influenced by who your parents were, that is by their

biological, physiological and inherent psychological makeup. Environment: The

environmental factors that exert pressures on our personality formation are the culture

in which we are raised, our early conditioning, the norms among our family, friends and

social groups, and other influences that we experience. The environment to which we are

exposed plays a substantial role in shaping our personalities. Situation: A third factor, the

situation, influences the effects of heredity and environment on personality. An

individual’s personality although generally stable and consistent, does change in different

situations. The varying demand of different situation calls forth different aspects of one’s

personality. We should not therefore look upon personality patterns in isolation.

Personality development of a person from being a child to being a teenager has a lot of

influence with the way they were raised. Thus, their life situation when they were just a

child has a big influence on what they are right now. Parenting style may also influence

one’s general sense of self-efficacy. Self-efficacy has been defined as the belief in one’s
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 11

capabilities to organize and execute courses of action required to produce given

attainments (Bandura, 1997). Self-efficacy has been shown to be influential in

the actions and success of individuals in many different areas, including overcoming

fears, success in the workplace, hard life transitions, and academic performance

(Bandura, 1986; Chemers, Hu, & Garcia, 2001).

Objectives of the Study

The main objective of this study is to know the effect of Parenting Style on Child rearing.

We will know what kind of Parenting Style is applied by parents on raising them; we will

know what their experiences on how they were raised are and how those experiences did

affected their personality

Significance of the Study

This research will serve as a guide for the parents to know how to raise a child and realize

that the Parents should know that parenting style can have a big impact on the child’s

personality. The way their children act or behave depends on the way that they were

thought and the way they were raise. This research gives a lot of information to the

parents for them to know how to raise their child in a right way; therefore their child will

grow well and be a good person.

Scope and Limitation

This study will only focus on the personality of the person, on how they act and how they

behave. We will only get information about the influence of parenting style on the way

the participants behave and act. The questions will only focus on the different styles that

parents used in raising the participants; we will also know the different experience of the
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 12

participants with the way they were raise, and lastly we will know how the experience of

the participants affect his or her personality.

Methodology

Research Design

The research use in this study is a Qualitative Research. It is about the Influence of

Parenting Style on Child Rearing among College Students. Data will be collected through

interview. The interview consists of three questions designed to gather basic information

about the participants.

Participants:

There are two participants who will be interviewed and will be asked some questions

about how they were raised as a child by their parents and how does the kind of parenting

style that was used by their parents to raise them.

Sampling Method

The sampling method that we will use is through Purposive Sampling is a non-probability

sampling method that occurs when elements selected for the sample are chosen by the

judgement of the researcher. We will gather our data by the used of semi-structured

interview, this is a qualitative methodology that comprises open-ended questions that will

give the opportunity for the researchers to analyze all the details that will come from the

participants. We are going to have two participants. The two participants that we are

going to interview allowed the interviewer to reveal basic information about their age,

gender and ethnicity.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 13

Ways to gather the data

Our research will use interview to gather the data. We are going to use voice recorder for

the researchers to ensure that all the things that will be talk about in the interview is

correct.

1. The researchers will look for two college students from the psychology

department, one boy and one girl who are appropriate and willing to do the

interview.

2. The researchers will have a personal communication with the participants so that,

it will be comfortable for them. First, the researchers will introduce themselves

and after that, they will tell their objectives in doing the interview and what the

research is all about. This will include the informed consent that will be given to

the participants and we will give them the right for their confidentiality and their

identity for the research.

3. The researchers will use voice recorder while they are having an interview so that,

it will be much easier for them to gather their data and they can repeat the

recorded interview to analyze the data.

4. After the interview the researchers will thank the participants for their time so that

the researchers can get some data from the participants for the research

Result

Transcription

Participant No. 1

Jerry (Not the real name) is a 23 years old, youngest in the family, from Guimba,

Nueva Ecija. Before the interview started we discussed to them the objectives and what

the research is all about. We discussed to them about the different styles of parenting first

on Authoritarian, Authoritative and Permissive and after that, we proceeded to the

interview.

Interviewer: What kind of parenting did your parents do to raise you from the three

kinds of Parenting?

Participant No. 1: For me, Permissive Parenting, because you can do what you want but

my parents always remind me to know my limitations. That I should know my

limitations, and they will let us explore the world but what do you call to these?

The interviewer asks him an additional question.

Interviewer: What if you broke something in your house? What punishment will your

Parents do to you?

Participant No. 1: Usually, they let me clean the broken vase or something but when it

comes to a punishment like palo or something. They did it to me once and once only

because I’m really just a tarantado. Hahahaha. It’s only once they use a belt to him me.
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 15

And the interviewer asked another additional question

Interviewer: Now that you are a college student, what punishment did your parents use?

Participant No. 1: Nothing. (2X) you know they have a trust on me if I did something

wrong, I will be the one to fix it. Hahaha we do it independently.

Interviewer: How does the kind of Parenting Style affected your personality? In the way

that your parents are permissive?

Participant No. 1: Umm. I learned to be independent like when I made decisions. If I

decide something. That will be my decision, so I learned to decide for myself without

asking help from anyone. It also depends on the situation, if it is a group work. It’s really

hard to decide alone if no one is doing anything. It’s like life decisions that we made

whether it is in school or any problems like that, they will just let me made decisions for

myself. Sometimes, they will say some advice but they will let me decide for myself.

Like in my Personality, I am learning to be independent because of the parenting style

they used.

Interviewer: How does your experience from the parenting style that your parents used

to raise you, affect your personality?

My positive experience is in the parenting style that my parents use to raise me,

which is permissive parenting is that I’m free. There’s freedom to do what I want and

that’s one of the perks of ahh what is it? There’s Monetary perks also, in which I can ask

some money anytime I want because I’m not the kind of person who always go out

because like, I have my own savings, that’s why I don’t ask money that often. The

Negative part is that they are so casual with us; sometimes we are not getting enough

guidance. It’s like that, like literally, independence. If you made mistakes, you will be the
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 16

one to solve your own problem. Like if you’re not given a heads up that this is what will

happen if you do this kind of things. That’s the only negative things that I know, but

there’s more positive things, I don’t know if this thing counts but just not a negative

thinker. Because I don’t really think of something the negative to a person until he or she

does something negative. It’s just like revicon “think positive wag kang aayaw mag

revicon forte” Haha

And the interviewer ask an additional question

Interviewer: What personality from your childhood that you are still doing?

Participant No. 1: It’s when I don’t like something; I don’t like something like no one

can stop me even if someone is bribing me. It’s like even if someone is kidding me, I still

don’t care. It’s just like that, that I don’t care because that is how I’ve grown since I was

a child and my opinion about the parenting style is that it is okay because, because of that

kind of parenting, I learned to do things myself. It’s like from when I was still at my early

childhood years, I’ve already become a matured person. I can think in matured way

because I was used to decide things for myself like that, so for me, the parenting style

that my parents have use is great because it’s like they will just give me advice if I don’t

know what to do. I don’t say something to them even if have problems. I just simply ask

them on how to do something with this. And I will not say it straight but I will like set a

situation where I will ask an advice from them. Example is I will ask “Mama, Pano kung

ganito?” and they will say “Oh bakit? May problema ba?”And I will always deny that I

have a problem.

Participant No. 2 The second participant is named Hope, 19 years old, from San Jose

City, Nueva Ecija and currently taking up BS Bio. His mother is a full time wife and a
PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 17

mother and her father is a driver of the Mayor. After knowing the personal information of

the participants, the interviewer discussed about the different styles of parenting

Interviewer: What kind of parenting style did your parents do to raise you?

Participant No. 2: Authoritative. Although I get what I want and I can do what I want to,

I also had limitation when it comes to it. If my parents don’t, that’s it. Sometimes, I

complain, sometimes not. They’re still my parents though. They are giving me advice. As

always. I mean, almost every day.

Interviewer: How does the kind of parenting style that your parents used affect your

personality?

Participant No. 2: Being a spoiled brat. It’s very hard for me to not be given, I mean, the

things that I want to have. Because from the very start, they made me this.

Interviewer: What are your positive and negative experiences in the way your parents

raise you

Participant No. 2: Ah. Maybe if I got good news or I did great, they’re giving me

reward, they buy me something that I want or we go out to places that I want and. of

course I got punishment. A lot! Hahahaha, since they spoiled me, it’s very hard of course

to adjust when I can’t get what I want and if I did something bad, they strike my butt.

The Interviewer added a question

Interviewer: They strike your butt until now?

Participants No. 2: No! I’m too old for that.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 18

Discussion

Our parents are the ones who are with us when we were just an infant and until

we are already an adult, they are still the one who is guiding us through many things that

we should learn and things that we should know. They are still the people who will give

an advice and tell us things that will motivate us in solving our own problems.

Attachment is an emotional bond that comprises comfort, safety and support. Bowlby

(1982) defines attachment as a child being “strongly disposed to seek proximity to and

contact with a specific figure and to do so in certain situations, notably when he is

frightened, tired or ill. When we were just an infant, we often seek for help from the

people that we already knew and that is our parents who raised us in a way that we can

grow well. We seek help from our parents when we need something and these things

grew as a relationship between the parent and the child. They started having an

attachment when the child seeks for help for the first time and the attachment that they

have, grow until now. Bartholomew proposed four attachment styles: (i) Secure, which

reflects generally positive feelings about the self and others; (ii) said that the individual

shows positive feelings about the self, but not about others; (iii) Preoccupied, where there

is anxiety about the self and a valuing of others, and (iv) Fearful, in which there are

negative feelings about the self and others (Bartholomew and Shaver, 1998). These four

attachments explain the relationship between the infant and their parents. It explains that

parents have a close relationship with their child that can have an impact on the child’s

personality when the child grows up.

Parenting styles are important because they have been associated with critical

developmental outcomes including social, psychological, an emotional well-being,


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 19

cognitive development, and academic adjustment (Baumrind, 1971). The child who grew

up with Authoritative parents can have strong relationship because their parents are warm

and their parents accept the child’s point of view which is good for the child because the

child is appreciating the love from his or her parents because he or she is feeling the

affection of the parents. The child who grew up in Authoritarian becomes a disciplined

person when he or she grew up because his or her environment is to obey all the rules that

his or her parents told him or her to do, but the child’s relationship with his or her father

is not that close like there’s a big gap between the parents and the child. Authoritarian

Parents often make demands to the child by saying that he or she should obey his or her

parents no matter what. And lastly, the child who grew up with Permissive parents often

becomes an independent person because his or her parents let’s him or her decide from

him or herself. Permissive parents give a lot of freedom to the child which has some

negative and positive effect in it. The child who grew up with Permissive parents can be

an independent person because of the way his or her parents let him or her decide from

him or herself. This research disregard the traits that the child can get from their parents

because the personality of the child can be receive from the traits of the parents that they

can get because of the genes of the parents because heredity can also influence the

personality of the child that is often similar to their parent’s behavior. The first

participant who we named Jerry told the interviewer that his parents are Permissive

because he grew up to be an independent person. Jerry told the interviewer that his

parents let him decide from himself that’s why he became matured at the very young age.

He said that his parents told him that he should know his limitation and that he should

know what will happen if he does a thing.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 20

His parents let him explore the world so he became an independent person. When

the interviewer asks him if ever he broke something in their house like a vase, what will

be his punishment? Then he answered that his parents will let him clean the mess that he

made but his parents will not use physical action when he is being disciplined because he

was taught to know what is right or wrong. When he was asked about the negative and

positive experience of him with the way his parents raise him, he said that his parents are

too casual with him and he was not always given some guidance because his parents let

him learn from his mistakes. The positive is he learned to be independent and he also said

that he was given a monetary perk. When he was asked on what personality that he have

from when he was a child that he is still doing is making his own decision that’s why he

became a matured person at an early age.

The second participant we named is Hofei and she said that her parents are

Authoritative which is characterized by having a connection with their child by being

affectionate with them and Authoritative parents also encourages their child so that they

can grow well. Hofei said that she gets what she wants and she can do what she likes to

do but she said that she also has limitations to that kind of things. She said that it’s kind

of hard for her sometimes when she doesn’t get what she wants because she was raised

that way. When she was asked, what her positive and negative experiences when it comes

to her parents is When get good grades, her parents would give her a reward and when

does something bad she will be strike in her butt, but her parents are not doing it anymore

when she is getting scolded.


PARENTING STYLE AND CHILD REARING 21

Conclusion

Based on the result of the study about Parenting style and Child rearing, parenting style

has a big influence on child rearing because the way the parents of the participants was

raised from when they were an infant until they get older is that, they moulded their

personality from the way their parents treat them. When the first participant said that his

parents raised him to be a decision maker, it was seen that his parents are Permissive

which gives freedom and seldom gives punishments that’s why he became an

Independent and knows how to decide for his own. The other participant said that her

parents are Authoritative which is characterized by being supportive, knows how to

encourage their child, gives fair discipline and makes connection with their children.

That’s why she became a spoiled brat because she said that she gets what she wants but

she has limitation and when she does something bad, she will be hit at her butt.

The results have shown that the way the parents raise their child give them a big

impact on their personality because the way the parents use their parenting style made an

influence on the participant’s personality. The first participant became an independent

person because his parents are Permissive. The second participant became a spoiled brat

as she said she was, because her parents are Authoritative.
