Parenting in the United States takes on a variety of different characteristics as a
result of the cultural diversity. According to Calzada and Eyberg (2002), understanding
parenting in the United States can be done through an examination of the various parental
goals, values, and behaviors as displayed by our culturally diverse society. Instead,
researchers have relied on assumptions of normative child-rearing based on the
Caucasian culture, ignoring the role of other cultures in parenting. Recently, several
studies focusing on Asian Indian families and parenting styles have focused on Asian
Indians in India as well as in other countries such as England, Canada, and the United
States (Farver, Narang, Bhadha, 2002; Rao, McHale, Pearson, 2003; Stopes-Roe &
Cochrane, 1989). Although studies have been conducted on parenting styles among Asian
Indian parents, no studies have addressed the link between mother-reported behavioral problems of Asian Indian children living in the United States and acculturation. This
study fills this gap in research, using a set of questionnaires to assess parental reports of behavior
problems in children, parenting constructs (such as parental involvement and
monitoring/supervision), and several dimensions of acculturation, respectively. A sample of 56
Asian Indian mothers with children ages 3 to 11 from the Atlanta, Georgia area participated in
this study. Findings support good internal consistency for the parent-report measure of child
disruptive behavior. The hypothesis that a relationship would emerge between maternal reports
of acculturation and child behavior problems was not supported. No relationship was found
between maternal reports of acculturation and their reports of internalizing, externalizing or total
child behavior problems. In addition, Asian Indian mothers who reported living in the U.S. for a
longer period of time also reported more externalizing child behavior problems. The hypothesis
that mothers would not report more behavior problems for sons than daughters was supported in
that there were no significant differences in reported behavior problems with respect to gender.
The hypothesis that there would be significant age effects on both the CBCL Internalizing and
Externalizing scales was not supported. In addition, Asian Indian mothers who reported higher
levels of acculturation also reported living in the U.S. for a longer period of time. Implications of
the present study as well as directions for future research are discussed.

This study was part of a larger, longitudinal project investigating the relationships
between family stress processes and children’s development. The purpose of the current study
was to examine the relationship between authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative parenting
styles and children’s classroom motivation as measured by child interviews and teacher
perceptions.
The population of this study included 281 first and third grade students and their parents
in a mid-sized Southern city. Parenting styles data for this study were collected via mailed
questionnaires consisting of the Primary Caregivers Practices Report (Robinson et al., 1995) and
questions used to obtain demographic information. Motivation data were collected via child
interviews using the Self-Report Scale of Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Motivation in the Classroom
(Harter, 1981) and the Teacher-Report Scale of Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Motivation in the
Classroom (Harter, 1981), which was given to teachers to complete.
Correlation analyses were performed to determine which demographic characteristics
should be used as control variables. Regression analyses were performed to examine the
relationship between parenting styles and children’s classroom motivation. In general, the results
of the current study did not support the researcher’s expectations that the authoritative parenting
style would be positively related to children’s intrinsic motivation, and authoritarian and
permissive parenting styles would be negatively related to children’s intrinsic motivation. The
results were inconclusive. As expected by the researcher, mothers’ authoritative parenting was
found to be positively related to first graders’ mastery motivation, fathers’ authoritarian
parenting was found to be negatively related to first graders’ mastery motivation, and mothers’
permissive parenting was negatively related to teachers’ perceptions of children’s classroom motivation. Contrary to the researcher’s expectations, fathers’ authoritarian parenting was found
to be positively related to third graders’ mastery motivation and teachers’ perceptions of
children’s classroom motivation.

PARENTING STYLES IN ARAB SOCIETIES
A First Cross-Regional Research Study

The purpose of this study was to examine how extracurricular activities and
parental monitoring relate to rural youth violence. Gender differences were examined
across all of the study variables. Self-report data were collected from 235 teenagers from
a rural, ethnically diverse, Virginia community.
Correlations revealed a significant inverse relationship between church activity as
well as parental monitoring and weapon carrying. Significant mean level differences
existed between males and females on the following variables: time spent in aerobic
exercise activities, time spent in toning exercise activities, weapon carrying frequency,
and level of parental monitoring. In addition, time in non-school clubs was the best
predictor of sample youth classification in either the “violent” category or “nonviolent”
category. Findings emphasize the importance of parental monitoring for youth as well as
the need for more programs and after-school activities to meet the needs of all youth.

Se riesci ad essere u poco più specifica circa l'argomento della tesi, magari riesco a trovare qualcosa di più "centrato".

Per ora buona vita

e buona tesi

Accidenti ne hai trovate di cose!!!!!
Praticamente adesso io devo fare un primo capitolo sui principali modelli teorici del parenting e del monitoring separatamente.
Poi devo fare un secondo capitolo sui strumenti usati per misurarli.
Dopo di che passare alla ricerca che farò con il gruppo di ricerca del prof.
La ricerca usa u test e va a verificare se questo test è adatto per misurare il parenting e il monitoring.
Per ora la base è questa poi ci saranno dei risvolti più specifici ma per ora non ne so moltissimo e mi fermo qui.
In ogni caso si tratterà di correlare il parenting e monitoring al benessere / malessere nella fascia di età 6-11/12 anni.
Se riuscirai ad aiutarmi te ne sarò veramente grata!!!!!!!
Grazie ancora
