ABSTRACT Name of Institution: De La Salle University-Dasmarinas Address: Dasmarinas, Cavite Title: Implication of the Parenting Styles of Selected Psychologists for their Adolescent’s Personality Authors: Dela Cruz, Katrina Joie A., Pinggolio, James Philip Ray V., Samson, Chiradee G. Funding Source: Parents Cost: P 11,000 Date Started: July 2006 Date Finished: February 2007 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY A. GENERAL The study aimed to determine implication of parenting style of selected psychologists for the personality of their adolescents. B. SPECIFIC 1. To know the demographic profile of the parent psychologists in terms of age, gender, occupation and educational attainment. 2. To know the demographic profile of the adolescents in terms of age and gender. 3. To know the parenting style applied by the selected psychologist. 4. To find out personality traits of the adolescent respondents as measured by the Emotions Profile Index. 5. To identify the implication of the parenting styles of the psychologists for the personality of their adolescents. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION The respondents are thirty parent psychologists, 35 to 61 years old with adolescents ranging from 13-18 years old. The parent psychologists have either a master’s degree or doctoral degree and are currently practicing their field of specification. All the respondents are from the Cavite area. METHODOLOGY The researchers used Snowball sampling in order to gather the participants. Through referrals, the researchers came up with the thirty respondents. The research method used in this study is the descriptive method specifically the survey method to measure the frequency of the respondents. The data was presented through frequency counts and percentages. There are two tests used in data gathering. The first is the Discover Your Parenting Style (DYPS) questionnaire developed by Baumrind, Maccoby, and Martin. On the other hand, the Emotions Profile Index or EPI is used to determine the personality of the adolescent respondents. RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY The respondents of this study are thirty (30) selected psychologists and their adolescents. The psychologists are said to have either a master’s degree (MA or MS) or doctoral degree and are practicing their specialization as clinical psychologist/s, guidance counselor/s, teacher/s or other fields related to psychology. There is no age limit set for the psychologists though they are all residing in Cavite area. Their adolescent children are 13-18 years old, male and female. MAJOR FINDINGS Based on the data collected, the following results have been obtained: 1. 22 or 74 percent of the parent psychologists fall under the authoritative parenting style. Only 13 percent or 4 parent psychologists respondents fall under the permissive or indulgent parenting style. There are 10 percent or 3 parent psychologist respondents that are considered authoritarian. Unexpectedly, 1 parent psychologist falls under the uninvolved type. 2. About 17 or 57 percent of the adolescent respondents are depressed while only 8 percent of them are gregarious. In addition, 53 percent of the adolescent respondents have timid personality traits and 33 percent of them are aggressive. 50 percent of the adolescent respondents are trustful while only 27 percent of them are distrustful. The least personality trait of the respondents is dyscontrolled with 23 percent. However, 47 percent of the respondents are controlled. 3. Authoritarian parent psychologists have controlled (100 percent), timid (67 percent), and depressed (67 percent) adolescents, while permissive or indulgent parent psychologist respondents have trustful (75 percent) and dyscontrolled (75 percent) adolescents. Authoritative parent psychologists have timid (59 percent), depressed (55 percent) and, trustful (50 percent) adolescents and lastly the uninvolved parent psychologist has controlled but depressed adolescent. CONCLUSIONS From the findings, the researchers conclude that: 1. Most psychologist respondents are authoritative in their parenting. They know how to handle their children better. However, not all of them would establish authoritative parenting style. 2. Depression is the common personality trait among adolescents who have parent psychologists, however, the source of the adolescent’s depression is not exactly coming from their parents. 3. Adolescents with parent psychologists, in general, are least likely to have dyscontrolled personality trait. 4. Authoritarian parent psychologists have adolescents with controlled personality traits for the reason that parents are highly demanding and directive. 5. Permissive or Indulgent parent psychologists have trustful and dyscontrolled adolescents which mean that a parent who is permissive has dependent and impulsive adolescents. 6. Even authoritative parenting style which is said to be the most ideal parenting style still implies negative personality traits to their adolescents. 7. Depressed and controlled personality traits can be dominant to the adolescents with uninvolved parent/s. 8. Parenting styles have implications for the personality of adolescents. However, it does not necessarily mean that the wholeness of an individual depends on the way they are reared. Different factors should also be considered like, the environment outside their homes, peers and other variables that their parents cannot control. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. For better results and analysis of parenting styles, it is recommended that future researchers adopt a standardized Filipino parenting style test. 2. For the generalizability of the research, it is recommended that future researchers have more respondents. 3. For better analysis and comparison of the four parenting styles, it is recommended that future researchers have the same number of respondents for each parenting style type. 4. To have an in depth analysis, it is recommended that future researchers have a case study with intensive interviews and follow-up interviews to validate the information gathered.
