Correlational Between Perceived Parenting Styles, Aggression, and Emotional Regulation

Abstract

Perceived parenting styles, aggression, and emotional regulation have always been the topic of discussion when it comes to mental health and research papers, parenting styles are of four types that have been impacting child development in various ways, the types are authoritative, authoritarian, neglectful, and permissive. Using the questionnaire for the specific population, participants assessed their perception of their parent’s, parenting style, their emotional regulation compatibilities, and their levels of aggression. The present work is based on the literature review of the three variables. So further the review of the research indicate that authoritative parenting was associated with higher emotional regulation and lower aggression.  Conversely, the neglectful and authoritarian style was linked with poor emotional regulation and a high level of aggression in young adults. Permissive parenting styles have shown the mixture of both, variable aggression level and poor emotional regulation. These findings help us know how parenting styles are important in a child’s development and how they can affect their emotional regulation compatibilities and aggression level.
