does perceived social support and Parental Attitude relate to alexithymia a study in finnish late adolescents
Psychiatry Research-neuroimaging, 2011Co-Authors: Max Karukivi, Matti Joukamaa, Lea Hautala, Olli Kaleva, Kirsimaria Haapasalopesu, Pirjoriitta Liuksila, Simo SaarijarviAbstract:The aim of the present study was to explore the associations of perceived social support and Parental Attitude with alexithymia in a Finnish adolescent population sample. Of the initial sample of 935 adolescents, 729 (78%) answered the questionnaire and formed the final sample. The mean age of the subjects was 19 years (range 17-21 years). The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) was used for assessment of alexithymia. Perceived social support from family, friends, and significant other people was measured using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Perceived Parental care and overprotection were assessed using the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), and separately for mother and father. After controlling for the sociodemographic factors, alexithymia was significantly associated with a lower degree of experienced social support and higher Parental overprotection both in females and males. Maternal overprotection was associated (p<0.04) with TAS-20 total score as well as the Difficulty Identifying Feelings (DIF) and Difficulty Describing Feelings (DDF) subscales. The lack of social support from friends appeared to predict alexithymia more strongly than lack of support from family and significant other people. Against our hypothesis, maternal and paternal care was not directly associated with alexithymic features. This study highlights the significance of intrusive and overprotective Parental Attitudes as a possible risk factor for development of alexithymia. However, to assess causality, we need longitudinal studies. The results also emphasize the need for further studies to establish the significance of peer relationships in the development of alexithymia.

the relationship between perceived Parental Attitude and life satisfaction among university students
Galician Medical Journal, 2021Co-Authors: Nurten Arslan IsikAbstract:Introduction. The effect of Parental Attitudes and behaviors in raising their children on the individual’s life has been the subject of numerous studies for many years. There is a strong correlation between Parental Attitudes and the child’s ability to be satisfied with life. The objective of the research was to determine the relationships between perceived Parental Attitudes (overprotection, rejection, emotional warmth) and life satisfaction among university students. We investigated whether Parental Attitudes play a role in predicting life satisfaction among university students, and what role they play. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted from June 2020 to September 2020. Data were collected using Google Forms. Each person consented to anonymously participate in the study and was informed about the objectives of the study being a descriptive one. The population of the study consisted of nursing students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences. For this purpose, 220 students at the age of 20 to 30 years participated in the study. The assessment battery consisted of Student Demographic Form, the Short-Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran (Own Memories of Upbringing), and the Life Satisfaction Scale. Results. There was a significant negative correlation between maternal rejection and life satisfaction among the students. Male students were more likely to perceive their fathers as being disapproving than female students did. These findings were discussed in line with the studies in the related literature. Conclusions. High life satisfaction is a variable that protects young people from risk factors. Therefore, a focus should be placed on increasing life satisfaction among students. Parental Attitude is an effective factor for life satisfaction among students. For this reason, it can be said that it would be beneficial to inform families about appropriate Parental Attitudes to increase their children’s life satisfaction.

Parental child-rearing Attitudes are associated with functional constipation in childhood
Archives of disease in childhood, 2014Co-Authors: Marieke Van Dijk, Giel-jan De Vries, Marc A. Benninga, Martha A. GrootenhuisAbstract:Objective Parenting factors are assumed to play a role in the development and maintenance of childhood constipation. However, knowledge about the association between parenting factors and childhood constipation is limited. This study investigates the association between Parental child-rearing Attitudes and prominent symptoms of functional constipation and assesses the strength of this association. Design Cross-sectional data of 133 constipated children and their parents were collected. Setting The gastrointestinal outpatient clinic at the Emma Children9s Hospital in the Netherlands. Patients Children with functional constipation aged 4–18 years referred by general practitioners, school doctors and paediatricians. Main outcome measures Parental child-rearing Attitudes were assessed by the Amsterdam version of the Parental Attitude Research Instrument (A-PARI). Symptoms of constipation in the child were assessed by a standardised interview. Negative binomial and logistic regression models were used to test the association between child-rearing Attitudes and constipation symptoms. Results Parental child-rearing Attitudes are associated with defecation and faecal incontinence frequency. Higher and lower scores on the autonomy Attitude scale were associated with decreased defecation frequency and increased faecal incontinence. High scores on the overprotection and self-pity Attitude scales were associated with increased faecal incontinence. More and stronger associations were found for children aged ≥6 years than for younger children. Conclusions Parental child-rearing Attitudes are associated with functional constipation in children. Any parenting issues should be addressed during treatment of children with constipation. Referral to mental health services is needed when parenting difficulties hinder treatment or when the parent–child relationship is at risk. Trial registration number ISRCTN2518556.

Parental Attitude perceived by university students as predictors of subjective well being and life satisfaction
Psychology, 2013Co-Authors: Mehmet Engin Deniz, Ozlem Karaku, Zeliha Tra, Erdal HamartaAbstract:The study aims to analyze whether Parental Attitudes (democratic, protective, and authoritarian) predict subjective well-being and life satisfaction of university students. Subjects in the study were 414 students, 221 female and 193 male. Perceived Parental Attitudes Scale, Subjective Well-Being Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of data. Positive significant relationship was found between democratic Parental Attitude and subjective well-being and life satisfaction scores; negative relation was found between protective and authoritarian Parental Attitude and subjective well-being and life satisfaction scores (p < .001). According to regression analysis, perceived Parental Attitudes predict subjective well-being and life satisfaction significantly

risk factors for conduct disorder and delinquency key findings from longitudinal studies
The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 2010Co-Authors: Joseph Murray, David P FarringtonAbstract:Conduct disorder (CD) and delinquency are behavioural problems involving violation of major rules, societal norms, and laws. The prevalence of CD and delinquency peaks in mid-to-late adolescence. Both show considerable continuity over time. The most important studies of CD and delinquency have prospective longitudinal designs, large community samples, repeated personal interviews, measures of many possible risk factors, and both self-reports and official measures of antisocial behaviour. The most important risk factors that predict CD and delinquency include impulsiveness, low IQ and low school achievement, poor Parental supervision, punitive or erratic Parental discipline, cold Parental Attitude, child physical abuse, Parental conflict, disrupted families, antisocial parents, large family size, low family income, antisocial peers, high delinquency rate schools, and high crime neighbourhoods. However, for many risk factors, it is not known whether they have causal effects. Future research should examine changes in risk factors and changes in CD and delinquency to identify the risk factors that are causes and those that are merely markers of other risk mechanisms.

childhood origins of antisocial behavior
Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, 2005Co-Authors: David P FarringtonAbstract:The major early risk factors for antisocial behavior include impulsiveness, low intelligence and low school achievement, poor Parental supervision, child physical abuse, punitive or erratic Parental dis-cipline, cold Parental Attitude, Parental conflict, disrupted families, antisocial parents, large family size, low family income, antisocial peers, high delinquency-rate schools, and high crime neighborhoods. The causal mechanisms linking these risk factors with antisocial outcomes are less well established, and the ‘ICAP’ theory is proposed to explain these. The major implications for intervention are that programs targeting these key risk factors should be implemented, especially multiple-component community-based programs.
