Gender-Wise Relationship between Children's Behaviour and Parenting Style
The study aimed to find out the relationship between parenting style and behavior of children. The study was conducted on 100 girls between the age group of 7-8 years and their parents (both mother and father). Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) by Robinson (1995) was used to measure parenting style. Vineland adaptive behaviour scale developed by Sparrow et al. (1984) was used to assess the behaviour of the children. The results highlighted that in case of girls authoritative mother parenting style was positively and significantly correlated (r-0.45) with adaptive behaviour of children. Authoritarian maternal parenting style was negatively correlated (r-0.27) with children's adaptive behaviour and permissive maternal parenting style was negatively correlated (r-0.36) with children's behaviour. Results further reflect that in case of boys authoritative mother parenting style was positively and significantly correlated (r-0.45) with adaptive behaviour of children. Authoritarian maternal parenting style was negatively correlated (r-0.27) with children's adaptive behaviour and permissive maternal parenting style was negatively correlated (r-0.36) with children's behaviour but, in case of paternal parenting style, authoritative parenting style was positively and significantly correlated (r-0.45) with adaptive behaviour of children. Authoritarian maternal parenting style was positively correlated (r- 0.48) with children's adaptive behaviour and permissive maternal parenting style was negatively correlated (r-0.27).
