父親・母親の養育スタイルに関する大学生の回想とアイデンティティ形成

抄録

The impact of parenting on the family orientation of university students and their identity formation during adolescence was investigated to identify parenting styles that promoted identity integration and minimized confusion. In addition, cooperation between fathers and mothers was analyzed to explain parenting styles. The results indicated that students of both genders who were raised by parents with an authoritative style more often evaluated that their parents cooperated in raising them compared with those who were raised with other parenting styles. Moreover, identity integration was significantly higher among students who were raised with an authoritative parenting style than among those raised with an authoritarian and uninvolved parenting style, whereas the opposite outcome was seen for identity confusion. Therefore, it was concluded that in the process of identity formation during adolescence, parenting styles that are responsive to children are essential, as is putting demands on them to mature based on proper criteria, i.e. disciplining them. However, further discussion is required about the fact that no differences were seen for the permissive parenting style.
