Ayoub, Mona, et al. “Genetic and environmental associations between child personality and parenting.” Social psychological and personality science 10.6 (2019): 711-721.
The article discusses how many people’s ideas about parenting are based on how it affects their kids. The authors say that children can affect how their parents raise them. According to the research, there is a lot of difference in how warm and stressed-out parents are because of their genes. When the Big Five personality traits were added to the model, they explained about half of the differences. This article is important because it supports the idea that parents should raise their children in a way that fits their child’s personalities. The authors conclude that any remaining traits traced back to parents are most likely due to child traits.
Cheng, Nanhua, et al. “Quality of maternal parenting of 9-month-old infants predicts executive function performance at 2 and 3 years of age.” Frontiers in Psychology 8 (2018): 2293.
The authors use the data to show that during an infant’s second year of life, much research has been done on how a mother raises her child and how that affects the child’s future executive function (EF). The article says that less is known about the effects of being a good mother in the first year. This study’s goal was to determine whether how a mother cares for her baby during the first year of life affects how well the baby does on EF tests at ages 2 and 3. This work is important because it shows how a mother raising her children early in life affects EF’s later development. Mothers encourage their children to be independent and think for themselves, but not when they are sensitive.
Doepke, Matthias, Giuseppe Sorrenti, and Fabrizio Zilibotti. “The economics of parenting.” Annual Review of Economics 11 (2019): 55-84.
The article says that choosing a way to raise children is one of the most important things a person will ever do. In recent economics research on parenting, more data and ideas from other fields that study parent-child relationships have been used. For example, the authors show how economics has led to models that help us understand the different approaches to parenting. These were first looked into in the field of developmental psychology. It is important because it gives accurate, complete empirical models of how children learn cognitive and noncognitive skills in response to input from their parents and other people.
Elliott, Sinikka, and Megan Reid. “Low-income Black mothers parenting adolescents in the mass incarceration era: The long reach of criminalization.” American sociological review 84.2 (2019): 197-219.
The article looks at the intersection of two related research fields and shows how our knowledge of the far-reaching effects of criminalization has grown. That is, always keeping an eye on black mothers, giving them harsh punishments, and making black teens criminals. Low-income black mothers change how they raise their children so that authorities and mainstream groups don’t label them as bad mothers and take away their parental rights. They also do this so their children do not get labeled criminals. Notable because it introduces the idea of “family criminalization” to explain how institutions can watch over and punish black mothers and their children. The authors say that to understand how criminalization shows up in the lives of African-Americans, you need to know how families work together and how they change over time.
Ishizuka, Patrick. “Social class, gender, and contemporary parenting standards in the United States: Evidence from a national survey experiment.” Social Forces 98.1 (2019): 31-58.
The author talks about how parents are becoming more involved in their kids’ lives and how there are differences in parenting based on class and gender. According to the research, parents from various social groups support strict parenting in various situations, regardless of whether they have sons or daughters. The piece is important because it shows how time-consuming mothering, putting children first, and being a father are common cultural norms that lead to today’s high expectations for parental involvement with children.
Keller, Heidi. “Universality claim of attachment theory: Children’s socioemotional development across cultures.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 115.45 (2018): 11414-11419.
The article examines the main ideas of attachment theory in light of how people are raised in different cultures. The article talks about how toddlers start to use a technique and how the people around them respond to their choices. On the other hand, the baby’s caretakers, whether children or adults, are experts who know what is best for the baby without questioning their mental states. The article is important because it shows how important it is to understand how parents are different to move research forward and improve the lives of children.
Kopala‐Sibley, Daniel C., et al. “Early childhood parenting predicts late childhood brain functional connectivity during emotion perception and reward processing.” Child Development 91.1 (2020): 110-128.
The article says that women have a lot of control over how their children act in different ways. The authors say that data were collected while people looked at emotional faces and did a task that involved processing rewards. The research showed that parental hostility meant the amygdala connection was getting weaker. This is because sad faces, instead of neutral faces, are shown in the frontal and parietal parts of the brain. Also, the connection between the right posterior orbital frontal cortex and the right inferior frontal gyrus is stronger when there is monetary gain feedback than when there is monetary loss feedback. The article identifies monetary gain would make a stronger connection between the cingulate and frontal cortex than loss feedback. The article is important because it suggests that parenting may change how the brain understands emotions and rewards.
Lee, Dae-Woo, Jae-Gon Kim, and Yeon-Mi Yang. “The influence of parenting style on child behavior and dental anxiety.” Pediatric dentistry 40.5 (2018): 327-333.
The articles show how parents raising their kids affects their behavior and fear of the dentist. The goals of this study were to look at how well existing research was done and to see how parenting style affected children’s fear of the dentist and how they behaved. Studies of preschoolers who had never been to the dentist or had a history of dental phobia show that their behavior and fear of the dentist changed greatly depending on how their parents handled it. Studies of school-aged children who had been to the dentist before or were sent there showed no differences. The article is helpful because it shows a link between how parents raise their kids and how they act and feel about going to the dentist.
Le, Kien, and My Nguyen. “‘Bad Apple’peer effects in elementary classrooms: the case of corporal punishment in the home.” Education Economics 27.6 (2019): 557-572.
The authors show the first real-world proof that CPH (corporal punishment in the home) has harmful effects on children exposed to it. The article shows how being around people with CPH hurts success. The article says that if students’ real learning efforts, academic goals, and social connections change badly, this could have serious effects. The important thing about this article is that it shows a link between parenting and the rise in peer aggression.
Luhr, Sigrid, Daniel Schneider, and Kristen Harknett. “Parenting Without Predictability: Precarious Schedules, Parental Strain, and Work-Life Conflict.” RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences 8.5 (2022): 24-44.
This study uses survey answers from 2,971 parents working in the service industry to examine how unexpected scheduling affects three parts of parenting. According to the research, it is harder to find childcare, and there is more work-life conflict when shift timing changes, on-call shifts, and short notice of work schedules are involved. The article points out that working these hours makes it more likely for mothers to miss work. The article is interesting because it discusses how race and family structure affect the relationship between an unpredictable schedule and these parenting traits.
Meeussen, Loes, and Colette Van Laar. “Feeling pressure to be a perfect mother relates to parental burnout and career ambitions.” Frontiers in Psychology 9 (2018): 2113.
The authors say that intensive mothering conventions push women to be their best. According to the study, women who feel they have to be perfect parents have more stress and guilt. This article has two goals to move this research forward: First, we look into the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral ways that mothers deal with the pressure to be the perfect mother and how these ways may be linked to parental burnout. The authors also look at how trying to be the perfect mother might affect how well mothers do at work. The article can be a resource because it advises how to focus your efforts to make parenting easier. The author concludes that the pressure to be the perfect mother has a direct positive effect on professional goals but an indirect negative effect.
Moè, Angelica, Idit Katz, and Marianna Alesi. “Scaffolding for motivation by parents, and child homework motivations and emotions: Effects of a training program.” British Journal of Educational Psychology 88.2 (2018): 323-344.
The ideas in the article come from self-determination theory and motivational scaffolding. This study aimed to examine how perceived parental autonomy-supportive scaffolding affects children’s motivation, mood, engagement, and belief in their own ability to do tasks independently. The article’s findings show that when parents have higher parental autonomy motivation, their children see them as more supportive of their independence. This piece is important to the research because it shows how the debate is mostly about what parents can do to help their kids. At the end of the article, it says that parental autonomy support helps kids become more motivated by giving them a less negative and maybe even more positive view of homework.
Martiny, Sarah E., et al. “Children’s Well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: Relationships with attitudes, family structure, and mothers’ Well-being.” European Journal of Developmental Psychology 19.5 (2022): 711-731.
The article says that even though the epidemic is bad for parents’ health, little is known about children’s health. According to the authors’ research, young people reported being less happy than most people in Europe. Living in a single-parent home was linked to lower child well-being, which is in line with other studies. The article is important because it shows that a mother’s happiness affects her child’s happiness and that people felt worse during the epidemic. Researchers found a strong link between how children see themselves, their health, their feelings about COVID-19 restrictions, and their age. The effects of protecting children from the negative effects of real and imagined pandemics are discussed.
Nikken, Peter. “Parents’ instrumental use of media in childrearing: Relationships with confidence in parenting, and health and conduct problems in children.” Journal of Child and Family Studies 28.2 (2019): 531-546.
The article talks about how parents can use certain parenting techniques, such as limiting their kids’ media time. This article looks at whether or not parents see media devices as helpful tools for parenting and how family characteristics, parenting beliefs, and child development affect whether or not parents are okay with their kids using media devices. The article was chosen for the study because it shows that parental perceptions, not parent-family traits, have a bigger effect on whether or not different kinds of instrumental media use are acceptable. The author finds that parents who are unsure of themselves are more likely to use media to help their kids.
Oliveira, T. D. O., et al. “Children’s behavioral problems, screen time, and sleep problems’ association with negative and positive parenting strategies during the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil.” Child Abuse & Neglect 130 (2022): 105345.
This study looks at the differences between COVID-19 groups of children raised by parents with bad parenting styles and those raised by parents with good parenting styles. In this study, one of the goals of the intervention is to improve parenting skills. The article says that using negative parenting strategies more often makes it more likely that a child’s behavior and mental health will get worse. This article is important to this study because it shows that how parents raise their children may be much more important than what was thought before in preventing harm to them during stressful times.
Piller, Ingrid, and Livia Gerber. “Family language policy between the bilingual advantage and the monolingual mindset.” International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism (2018).
The article discusses how parenting in Western countries has led to many self-help and how-to books. The authors discuss the problems of being a bilingual parent, which is starting to add a new dimension to parents’ worries. The article is important because it looks at how parents discuss their goals for their bilingual children and the associated problems. Statistics show that the posters’ belief in the benefits of being bilingual does not always translate into good ways to raise bilingual children. At the end of the study, the effects of institutionalized English monolingualism on advocacy and policy for family languages are discussed.
Sebastiano, et al. “The six dimensions of parenting and adolescent psychological adjustment: The mediating role of psychological needs.” Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 60.2 (2019): 128-137.
The Self-Determination Theory is used in this article to show how parenting styles can be described in terms of how well teens adjust. This SDT-aligned article aimed to look at the links between the three basic psychological criteria and the six parenting-related attributes. The second goal was to determine how basic psychological needs affect the relationship between parenting styles and good and bad outcomes in a group of Italian teenagers. The article is important because it shows how the three basic psychological needs affect the relationship between parents and their teens as they grow up. The article’s conclusion says that the role of parents shows how psychological needs, parenting, and adolescent adjustment are related.
Tan, W. N., and Maizura Yasin. “Parents’ roles and parenting styles on shaping children’s morality.” Universal Journal of Educational Research 8.3C (2020): 70-76.
The authors look at why children’s moral growth is getting worse. The article examines how parents’ roles and methods affect their children’s moral growth. The end of this article shows that parents should take an active role in teaching their kids how to live their lives. They should spend more time with their family, talk to their kids more often, be good role models who teach their kids religious values, and give them a chance to spend quality time with their grandparents. The article is helpful because it shows that authoritative parenting is the best way to raise a child. The article concludes that neither strict nor permissive parenting helps kids learn how to act morally.
Van Dijk, Rianne, et al. “A meta-analysis on interparental conflict, parenting, and child adjustment in divorced families: Examining mediation using meta-analytic structural equation models.” Clinical Psychology Review 79 (2020): 101861.
The authors use their knowledge to develop ideas about how bad parenting affects children in different homes. This article explains how kids act by examining how families change after a divorce. Both direct and indirect research was done on parenting, the conflict between parents, and how children adjust. This article is very important to the study because it shows that negative parenting styles are more strongly linked to how a child adjusts after a divorce than positive parenting styles. When negative and positive parenting behaviors are compared, the article shows that conflict between parents after a divorce is a clear danger.
Zurcher, Jessica D., et al. “Parenting and cyberbullying across adolescence.” Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking 21.5 (2018): 294-303.
The article’s main point is to show how bad parenting can lead to cyberbullying. The authors say that using certain parenting techniques can stop teens who bully others. The authors point out that not many studies look at these temporal links. This article is important as a source because it looks at how parenting in early adolescence can predict attitudes and behaviors about cyberbullying in late adolescence. In particular, warm and supportive parenting was linked to less positive attitudes about cyberbullying and lower levels of cyberbullying among young adults. Also, having an authoritarian parent made it more likely for kids, especially boys, to be cyberbullied. As a possible defense against cyberbullying, suggestions are given for how parents can teach their kids more positive things during early adolescence.
