Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigated the relationship between dimensions of parenting style and self-compassion among a group of adolescents and examined parenting style as a predictor of self-compassion. The participants (n = 188; M age = 14.4 years) completed the Self-Compassion Scale and the Parenting Style Inventory II. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, correlational analyses, and standard multiple regression analysis. There was a statistically significant association between parental responsiveness and self-compassion, while the relationship between parental demandingness and self-compassion was non-significant. The results suggested that responsive parenting, characterised by sensitivity, warmth, acceptance and nurturance is related to the ability to develop self-compassion during adolescence. Specifically, the father’s parenting style seems to make a unique contribution to adolescents’ self-compassion.
