Estilos educativos familiares: valoración en un grupo de familias españolas (p. 15-41)

Abstract

Family educational practices have been analyzed and differentiated for different parenting styles. In this study we review the most significant features of the main family parenting styles and their impact on child development. To do this, we rely primarily on the classical types of Baumrind (1978), revised by Maccoby and Martín (1983). Here are data from a study with Spanish families (N = 387), determining what ideologies associated with the four parenting styles analyzed (Authoritarian, Permissive Neglect, Permissive Indulgent and Democratic or inductive) are more common in families, discriminating by age and sex. Educational ideas are analyzed from the degree of agreement with various budgets and practices. The results show different trends for Authoritarian and Permissive Indulgent (high level of agreement between parents) and Democratic or inductive (high level of agreement between mothers) educational styles, being a high degree of widespread disagreement towards permissive styles negligent.
