Summary
Yemeni parents exhibit high parental cognition, with meta-parenting positively correlating with non-meta-parenting. Differences were observed based on gender, age, and education, highlighting unique parental awareness factors.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Parenting Studies
Background:
- Extensive research highlights parental cognition, including meta-parenting, influencing child development.
- Parental social cognition involves implicit elements like beliefs, emotions, values, and culture.
- Contemporary research is needed on deliberate and mindful parenting constructs, particularly in Yemen and Arab countries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the relationship between meta-parenting and non-meta-parenting in Yemeni parents.
- To examine inter-correlations among meta-parenting dimensions (anticipating, assessing, reflecting, problem-solving) and non-meta-parenting (ruminating).
- To compare parental awareness between mothers and fathers concerning age, marital status, and education.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional survey research utilizing a 21-item scale for meta-parenting and non-meta-parenting (Hawk and Holden, 2006).
- Data collected from 317 Yemeni parents (mothers and fathers) aged 27 to 55.
- Analysis involved assessing relationships, inter-correlations, and group differences.
Main Results:
- Yemeni parents demonstrated a high level of parental cognition.
- Positive correlations were found between overall meta-parenting and non-meta-parenting.
- Fathers showed higher scores in problem-solving and ruminating.
- Parents aged 31 and above scored higher in most dimensions, except anticipating, problem-solving, and ruminating.
- Married parents and those with university education showed stronger correlations in overall meta-parenting.
Conclusions:
- Yemeni parents exhibit robust parental cognition, with meta-parenting and non-meta-parenting coexisting positively.
- Parental awareness is influenced by gender, age, and educational background.
- Further research is recommended to explore these findings in broader cultural contexts.

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
