Exploration of Positive Parenting Styles in the Perspective of Positive Psychology

Abstract

The application of positive psychology to the construction of parenting styles is one of the directions of development today and in the future. The study utilizes positive psychology as a basis and examines how different parenting styles affect the positive psychological qualities of students in both primary and middle schools. The study was conducted through questionnaires and interviews, and 420 primary and middle school students were surveyed using the Parenting Style Questionnaire and the Primary and Middle School Students Psychological Character Questionnaire. This study shows that positive parenting styles are crucial to forming positive psychological qualities in primary and middle school students. Positive parenting practices encourage the development of childrens positive psychological traits, while negative parenting does the opposite. Problems in current parenting styles are sorted out, and suggestions such as reinforcing positive experiences and model-based parenting styles are put forward.
