Early parenting research by Baumrind (1967, 1971) focused on particular dimensions thought to be important for successful parenting, and these dimensions were then used to characterize and identify three styles of parenting: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. More recent research has also examined the way in which specific parenting styles may impact child and adolescent development, with better adjustment being associated with an authoritative style and child behavior problems associated with authoritarian and permissive styles. This study provides a partial replication of these findings and explores to what degree parental self-control skills are related to parenting style and child adjustment. Participants (n = 45) completed the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (Robinson et al., 2001), Self-Control and Self-Management Scale (Mezo, 2005, 2009), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997), and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory L scale (Dahlstrom et al., 1972). Correlational analyses then assessed the relationships among parenting styles, parental self-control skills, and child adjustment, and the relative contributions of parenting styles and parental self-control skills to childhood adjustment was examined via multiple regression. Results indicated that authoritative parenting was positively correlated with child adjustment, and authoritarian parenting was negatively correlated with child adjustment. In addition, parental self-control skills were positively correlated with authoritative parenting. The results from this study suggest that further research into developing a potentially new approach to parent training that emphasizes self-control techniques may be beneficial in promoting authoritative parenting.
