Procenjeni vaspitni stilovi roditelja kao prediktori psihopatskihtendencija adolescenata sa Kosova i Metohije

Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the predictive power of parenting styles of parents assessed by adolescents in predicting adolescent psychopathic tendencies. The sample consisted of 270 adolescents aged 16 and 17 from Kosovo and Metohija. The following instruments were used in the research: Questionnaire of parental styles and dimensions - PSDQ and Questionnaire for assessment of psychopathic deviation - PAQ. The results of the research show that adolescents perceive their parents as predominantly authoritative in their upbringing and that they show low psychopathic tendencies. The estimated educational styles of the father by adolescents explain from 8% to 10% of the variance of psychopathic tendencies of adolescents, and as significant predictors are regulation with a negative sign of the b coefficient as an aspect of authoritative educational style, and coercion and verbal hostility as aspects of authoritarian educational style. Estimated adolescent parenting styles by adolescents explain 5% to 8% of the variance in adolescent psychopathic tendencies, but no variable has emerged from the group of predictor variables as a significant predictor.
