Abstract

Study objective was to investigate the relationship between participant’s parenting style and parenting style of her mother and her father. We also examined if dimensions of parental parenting style (mother’s and father’s) could predict the dimentions of the participant’s parenting style. The Parental Acceptance/Rejection and Control Questionnaire (Parental Acceptance-Rejection /Control Scale - Short Form (PARQ/Control-SF)) was used to examine the parenting style dimensions. The study sample was appropriate and included 120 women, 19-64 years of age (M = 49.5, SD = 0.85). The study confirmed the prediction there is a significant correlation between the dimensions of the participant’s parenting style and the parenting style of her parents. It was also found that parenting style of participant’s parents was predicting her own parenting style. It has been confirmed that patterns of behavior learned in the family of origin could be transferred to be the parenting style in the nuclear family. Limitation and signifance of the study were also explored.
