| description | While the beneficial effects of authoritative parenting style have consistently been demonstrated
for Caucasian samples, these effects have not always been found for Asians. It appears that
adolescents who perceived their parents’ style of parenting as authoritarian are not one
homogeneous group. Cluster analyses performed for adolescents’ perceived mothers’ and
fathers’ authoritarian parenting style using adolescents’ self-report scores on personal adjustment
and social variables as the clustering variables found similar two-cluster solutions (maladjusted
and well-adjusted). External validation evidence revealed that adolescents in the maladjusted
cluster had poorer attitudes towards school and teachers compared to adolescents in the welladjusted
cluster for both samples. These findings suggest that authoritarian parenting style could
possibly have a different cultural meaning for Asians. |
