Abstract

Parenting Styles loosely define psychological constructs for describing common tactics and methodologies for child-rearing; however, not all are equal. The parenting style a child is raised with can have significant, and sometimes detrimental effects, on all aspects of the child’s life, such as academic success. The majority of parenting strategies fall into four categories: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved, with the former two displaying firmness and demandingness and the latter two displaying a lack of control or strictness. Among Authoritarian and Authoritative parenting, there is a crucial difference between warmth and responsiveness displayed with the child (e.g. an Authoritarian parent is much less likely to openly communicate or have emotional interactions with their child as opposed to an Authoritative parent). This difference of emotional warmth between authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles creates a prominent disparity between the two styles. The discrepancies posed by these parenting styles then have significant implications on the academic success and wellbeing of children.
