What is the general purpose of the study? What questions does it raise? This study centers on the concern that children, biological parents, and guardians involved in foster care visitations are inadequately prepared. The Familyconnect tool was designed to enrich visitation amongst foster children and their biological parents, as well improve the relationship between foster and biological parents. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Familyconnect tool.
Also evolutional (inherited from parents) could have an effect on how a child behaves as in the child’s genetics it might be that they are susceptible to violence this means that the child may have more violent tendencies. Also if a child grows up in a hostile environment they may believe that it is normal and it will sculpt their behaviour aggressively in day to day activities. The theorist which links with this psychology aspect is Abraham Maslow. His theory is based on a hierarchy of basic human needs in which they need to have in order to function in society. Maslow says that once you have achieved each level of needs you then get to self-actualisation, this is when you try to fit in with peers, thus changing your behaviour so it is alike theirs.
Haila Jones To Spank or not to Spank As parents we use discipline to teach our children the difference between the right thing and the wrong thing to do. It is the parent’s choice what type they would like to use. There are several, different types of parental styles starting with: authoritarian , overly permissive , authoritative, and spanking (corporal punishment). There are different parenting styles depending on your culture as well. I believe that there is no right or wrong way to discipline a child, but there is a right and wrong way to behave.
Running Head: DETAIL REVIEW OF COERCION THEORY A Detail review of coercion theory of conduct disorder: Reinforcement of aversive behavior and reciprocal relationships In its most basic form, coercion theory (Patterson, 1982; Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992; Reid, Patterson, & Snyder, 2002) is a model of the behavioral contingencies that explain how parents and children mutually “train” each other to behave in ways that increase the probability that children will develop aggressive behavior problems and that parents’ control over these aversive behaviors will decrease. These interchanges are characterized by parental demands for compliance, the child’s refusal to comply and his or her escalating complaints, and finally the parent’s capitulation. In this paper, coercion theory will be further reviewed in its two main divisions—the reinforcement of aversive behavior; and the reciprocal relationships of social interaction. Classical methodology supporting this theory, their limitations, and the recent research addressing these limitations will then be discussed. Reinforcement of aversive behavior According to Patterson and Snyder (2002), the basic paradigm involves negative reinforcement and may also involve positive reinforcement.
Attachments and their impact on parenting Name Institution Date Introduction Attachment is defined by psychologists as the relationship between a child and the parent or guardian. The attachment one has determines a lot of factors about them for example their social life, personality, adulthood and parenthood. It is developed from infantry depending on the affection and attention that a child receives. Attachment styles are based on four main interaction methods: proximity and contact seeking, contact maintaining, resistance to comforting and contact and avoidance of proximity and contact. They are four of them that were a conclusion from a study conducted by Ainsworth (1970).
The first parenting style is the authoritarian parenting style, also known as the military style of parenting. Parents that use this parenting style believe that parents should be strict with children. Structure is high and warmth is low. These parents believe that the child should do as told with no questions asked from the child and no explanation needed from the parent. Often these children act out in aggressive ways outside the home but are fearful inside the home.
These parents often resort to gift giving and even outright bribery, rather than setting boundaries and expecting obedience. The parent wants to be more of a friend than a parent. According to Dr. Phil McGraw (2009), children need boundaries and rules to learn right from wrong. “It is your job to be a parent not a friend to your child.”
Source: Field Survey 4.3 Parenting Styles With the aim of finding out how parenting style affects the introversion and extraversion nature of students, the study sought to find out the kind of parenting styles practiced by the parents of the students. The parenting styles considered include, authoritative, authoritarian and permissive parenting style. 4.3.1 Authoritative Parenting Style The findings showed that, most of the students sampled identified the authoritative parenting style as the main parenting style adopted by their parents in catering for them. This kind of parenting style involves parents
Four Different Styles of Parenting Each parent develops a unique parenting style as they groom their children into adulthood. Various methods of parenting styles can affect a child in either a negative or positive way. In the 1960‘s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted a study on 100 preschool children. She observed them by naturalistic observation, parental interviews and other research methods (Cherry, 2011). By conducting this study she suggested that there were 3 different parenting styles.
Despite these challenges, researchers have uncovered convincing links between parenting styles and the effects these styles have on children. During the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted a study on more than 100 preschool-age children (Baumrind, 1967). Using naturalistic observation, parental interviews and other research methods, she identified four important dimensions of parenting: Disciplinary strategies, Warmth and nurturance, Communication styles and Expectations of maturity and control. Based on these dimensions, Baumrind suggested that the majority of parents display one of three different parenting styles (Maccoby & Martin, 1983) which I myself tried to analyze by observing parent-child relationship at a park. I was at The Prospect Park last week and was observing some parents and their children’s behavior and was really surprised to see a situation, of a 5-6 years old boy and his mother, which I am going to explain in details in this paper.
