evaluate the behavior and attitudes of their
children in accordance with an absolute set
of conduct standards that usually comes
from religious or respected authorities.
They use harsh discipline and punishment.
Obedience becomes a virtue.
The parents do not communicate well with
their children, and do not explain the
rationale behind the rules and the
consequences of their actions.
AUTHORITATIVE
direct their children’s activities in a
rational and intelligent way. They are
supportive, loving, and committed;
support a give-and-take relationship;
discuss their rules and policies with
their children; and encouraging
children to present their viewpoints.
PERMISSIVE
parents are less controlling
and behave with an accepting
and non-punishing attitudes
towards their children’s
desires, actions, and impulses.
They use reason rather that
direct power. They are warm
and supportive but tend not to
enforce rules.

UNINVOLVED
PARENTS

“hands-off” stance in
the affairs of their
children. They are
detached and
indifferent to the
needs of their
