Parenting Styles01:27

Parenting Styles

835
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.

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...

Ending Relationships

233
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Area of Science:

  • Family Law
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Post-separation coparenting with a domestic violence perpetrator is a common challenge for victim-survivors.
  • Parenting apps are recommended for managing communication but their role in abusive dynamics is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how parenting apps facilitate or resist coercive control in post-separation abusive dynamics.
  • To understand the experiences of separated mothers using these apps.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving interviews with 18 separated mothers.
  • Analysis of app use within the context of domestic and family violence.

Main Results:

  • The record-keeping functions of parenting apps are central to negotiating control and resistance.
  • App use is shaped by the legal settings in which it is implemented.
  • Victim-survivors actively resist coercive control through app interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Parenting apps can inadvertently perpetuate coercive control.
  • Understanding the interplay between technology, legal frameworks, and user experiences is crucial.
  • Strategies are needed to mitigate risks and support victim-survivors using these technologies.
