Impact of Parenting Styles: A Review

regard of Parenting Styles A brushupFarah NazneenImpact of Parenting Style in Bangladesh ASystematic ReviewIntroductionParents are teachers, guiders, leaders, protectors, and providers for their children. Our behavior, thought, motivation, belief, value, in-personity etc all are directly or indirectly depend on our parenting ardour. Research on parenting style is so central to determine the corroboratory contact and cast out impact on children. in that location are mainly four types of parenting styles. They areAuthoritative parenting styleAuthoritarian parenting stylePermissive parenting StyleUninvolved parenting styleFigure 1 Types of parenting styleBangladesh is a small south Asian country. Very few look has been conducted on the general picture of parenting style in Bangladesh. The majority of the research shown that there are positive correlation amid agnate acceptance and positive personal characteristics of children. Figure 2 Parents of BangladeshThe ReviewInformati on about the StudiesFor the review 6 original papers of Bangladesh were selected based on the research on parenting style. All of the research was conducted through quantitative method. The samples (in total 744) of the studies were both school children and adult person. Table 1 depicts the studies with necessary information such as sample size, design, variables studied, data digest techniques and results.Table 1. Description of the StudiesImpact on PersonalityParental rejection can influence our disposition (Shahid et al. 2009). In an investigation researcher found material positive correlation of maternalistic rejection and neuroticism (anger, loneliness, anxiety, and depression) of adults. But they found no significant correlation between paternal rejection and neuroticism. It may be because in Bangladeshi husbandry m otherwise used to play all the roles of child rearing and bewilder barely play the role in economic wellbeing of family. So father rejection merely affect t he childs personality (Shahid et al. 2009).On the other hand, it was found that there is a significant positive correlation between paternal rejection and psychoticism. People with psychoticism demand biological causes rather than neuroticism. Therefore, for biological causes, person would be little able to cope with the electronegative experience like paternal rejection (where some of the participants gave less precedence to paternal rejection). That could be the possible explanation of positive correlation between paternal rejection and psychoticism (Shahid et al. 2009).It was overly found that there is a negative correlation between parental (both paternal and maternal) rejection and extraversion (being outgoing, talkative, high on positive affect). As parental rejection is negative experience that may prevent them to be high on positive affect (Shahid et al. 2009). This study work with only 3 categories of personality. Further studies are needed to find the correlation betwe en parenting style and other categories of personality like as introversion, openness,conscientiousness,agreeableness etc.Impact on Cognitive Emotion RegulationIn an investigation among children researchers found that authoritative parenting was the strongest predictor of overall reconciling emotion canon while authoritarian parenting was the strongest predictor of overall less accommodative emotion ordinance. Permissive parenting has no impact on reconciling and less adaptive emotion mandate (Karim et al. 2013). This study offers some inconsistent results. Here, authoritarian parenting contributes importantly in both the adaptive and less adaptive cognitive emotion regulations. This was unpredicted and failed to explain by the present data.Marital tolerance of parents can also affect the cognitive emotion regulation of children. Because due to marital adjustment balance of parenting style between mother and father could vary. As better marital adjustment of parents help chi ldren to handle the negative experiences it is strongly and positively associated with childs adaptive emotion regulation (acceptance, positive refocusing, refocus on planning, positive reappraisal and putting into perspective strategies) and negatively with childs overall less adaptive emotion regulation (self-blame, rumination or focus on thought, catastrophizing, and blaming others strategies) (Ansary and Karim, 2011).Research evidence also shown that fathers positive affect (enthusiasm, active, and alert) is strongly and positively associated with childs overall adaptive emotion regulation and negatively associated with childs overall less adaptive emotion regulation (Ansary and Karim, 2011).But in the case of mother it is little bit difference. Mothers positive affect and negative affect were non significantly associate with childs overall adaptive cognitive emotion regulation. In the case of less adaptive cognitive emotion regulation picture is unlike, researcher found strong positive association (Ansary and Karim, 2011).Impact on Self-esteemIn a research it was proved that parental rejection is significantly and positively correlated with lower self-esteem of person (Yasmin and Hossain, 2014). This result also suggests thatmaternalrejectionhasgreaterimpactonselfesteemthanpaternalrejection. However sample size of this research is so poor only 60. Which is non sufficient to generalize the finding.Again maternal rejection as a good predictor of self-esteem in early adulthood in which self-esteem had significant negative correlation with remembrance of maternal rejection in childhood (Din and Huque, 2013). In this research they didnt see the effect of paternal rejection in early adulthood.Impact on life-satisfactionYasmin and Hossain (2014) shown that both maternal and paternal involvement in childhoodisimportanttodevelopoffspringslifesatisfactioninadulthood. This result also suggests thatmaternalrejectionhasgreaterimpactonlife satisfactionthanpaternalre jection. However sample size of this research is so poor only 60. Which is not sufficient to generalize the finding.Impact on Academic AchievementIn a study with tribal and non-tribal student researchers found significant negative correlations between both maternal and paternal acceptance scores and schoolman achievement scores. It was also found from the results of the study that there were significant differences in maternal acceptance, paternal acceptance and academic achievement between tribal and non tribal children. That is, non tribal children were more maternally accepted, more paternally accepted and showed higher academic achievement as compared to their tribal counterpart (Aktar, Shahrier, and Rahaman, 2013).ConclusionsExisting literature on parenting style of Bangladesh shown relatively same findings. Most of the research approved the positive impact on children for acceptance parenting style and negative impact due to rejected parenting style. Parental acceptance help to develop our positive aspect of personality and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation, increase self-esteem and life (Shahid et al. 2009 Karim, Sharafat, and Mahmud, 2013 Yasmin and Hossain, 2014 and Din and Huque, 2013). But in the case of academic achievement we get controversial finding from other research in different culture. In the study of tribal and non-tribal children parental acceptance does not facilitate childs academic achievement (Aktar, Shahrier, and Rahaman, 2013). may be our educational system failed to evaluate our children in terms of academic achievement. Further studies are needed to establish a clear kind between parenting style and academic achievement, and evaluating academic achievement.All of the research on parenting style were conducted with few samples. Here highest sample size was only 206. Few sample is not reliable tool to predict the nature of parenting style especially in survey research. The research finding of above studies are failed to gener alize the overall finding for large population of Bangladesh. Again participants of the research are presentable for different class of people in our society like age, race, socio-economic status, occupation, locality etc.There are also no broad, reliable research on overall population of Bangladesh to establish norm of general parenting style in Bangladesh.Again nigh of the research in parenting style are conducted on quantitative research method. Qualitative research on parenting style could facilitate to understand the cause of different impact of parenting style in the context of Bangladesh.In conclusion further research is needed on this sector to establish a clear relationship between parenting style and positive impact on children. So parents awareness in raising child could be increase. We can also work with different types of variables related to parenting style.ReferencesAktar, R., Shahrier, M. A., Rahaman, M. M. (2013).
