Social psychologists study these early relationships to understand how patterns formed in infancy influence social functioning and interpersonal behavior in adulthood.Attachment Theory and Early Relational ModelsJohn...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Background:

Inuit populations have undergone significant lifestyle shifts over the last 50 years.
Urbanization has led to an increasing number of Inuit residing in urban centers in southern Canada.
There is a lack of published research on Inuit parenting, particularly within urban settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the parenting experiences of Inuit individuals living in a large Canadian city.
To identify emergent themes in urban Inuit parenting, focusing on autonomy and relatedness.
To address the research gap concerning Inuit parenting in an urban context.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study involving 39 Inuit parents.
Interviews conducted in partnership with the Tungasuvvingat Inuit Family Resource Centre.
Thematic analysis of interview data to identify key parenting themes.

Main Results:

Major parenting themes identified include child characteristics, parenting behaviors and beliefs, affection and love, stressors, and responsive/respectful parenting.
The majority of identified parenting themes were strongly associated with relatedness.
Evidence of autonomy was observed in both parenting behaviors and descriptions of child characteristics.

Conclusions:

Urban Inuit parenting emphasizes relatedness, reflecting cultural values.
Autonomy is also present in urban Inuit parenting practices and perceptions of children.
Findings contribute to understanding the adaptation of Inuit parenting in urban environments within the autonomy-relatedness framework.
