Alexithymia has been linked to reduced emotional awareness and increased aggression. One line of evidence suggests that authoritarian parenting contributes to the development of alexithymia. To elucidate the relationship between experienced parenting style, alexithymia and aggression the Parental Authority Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire were administered to a group of emerging adults. Current findings show a positive relationship between: (i) authoritarian parenting style and alexithymia, (ii) alexithymia and aggression, iii) authoritarian parenting style and aggression. This study also found that paternal authoritarian parenting predicted alexithymia and aggression when controlling for maternal authoritarian style, but not the other way round. In addition, alexithymia mediated the relationship between paternal authoritarian parenting and aggression when controlling for maternal authoritarian style suggesting that elevated alexithymia which is likely to be a consequence of authoritarian parenting, especially when it is practiced by a father, contributes to increased aggression in adulthood.

Abstract – This study aims to determine the role of authoritarian parenting in increasing the aggression tendency among adolescents that is moderated by frustration. Participants in this study were 150 respondents. The instrument used were Parental Authory Questionnaire Scale (PAQ) created by Buri (1991), scale of frustration and Aggression Questionnaire Buss-Perry Scale (Buss & Perry, 1992). Statistical analysis used model moderator analysis 1 according to PROCESS model (Hayes, 2013). The results of this study indicated that frustration significantly affects the role of authoritarian parenting style to the emergence of tendencies of aggression. Adolescents who experienced high (affect = .0043; p <.001) and moderate (affect = .6274; p <.001) frustration significantly increases the influence of parental authoritarian parenting on the tendency of aggression. Meanwhile, adolescents’ low frustration levels do not significantly trigger aggression even if they are exposed to authoritarian parenting style. This suggests that the level of frustration controls the tendency of aggressive behavior in adolescents who experience authoritarian parenting styles from their parents. Abstrak — Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran pola asuh otoriter dalam meningkatkan kecenderungan perilaku agresi yang dimoderatori oleh frustrasi pada remaja. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 150 responden. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Parental Authory Questionnaire Scale (PAQ) yang disusun oleh Buri (1991), Skala frustrasi dan Aggression Questionnaire Buss-Perry Scale (Buss & Perry, 1992). Teknik analisis statistik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis efek moderator model 1 PROCESS (Hayes, 2013). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa frustrasi secara signifikan memengaruhi besar kecilnya peranan pola asuh otoriter terhadap munculnya kecenderungan perilaku agresi. Remaja yang mengalami frustrasi yang tinggi (affect = 1.0043; p <.001) dan sedang (affect = 0.6274; p <.001) secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan peran pola asuh otoriter orang tua terhadap munculnya kecenderungan perilaku agresif. Namun, remaja yang mengalami frustrasi yang rendah tidak signifikan mendorong muncul perilaku agresi walaupau mereka mengalami gaya pengasuhan yang otoriter dari orang tua. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat frustrasi pada remaja memegang peranan penting dalam terbentuknya kecenderungan perilaku agresi pada remaja yang mengalami gaya pengasuhan yang otoriter dari orang tua mereka.

Previous research suggests that the origins of perfectionism lie in parental factors. The present study examined how parenting style and family perfectionism is associated with the manifestation of perfectionism in a sample of 855 Greek university students, using the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R), the Family Almost Perfect Scale (FAPS) and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ). The subscales of APS-R and FAPS are combined to provide three types of personal and family perfectionism respectively (adaptive, maladaptive, absence of perfectionism), whereas PAQ distinguishes three parenting styles (authoritarian, permissive, authoritative). The authoritative parenting style was positively associated with adaptive perfectionism in both genders and negatively associated with maladaptive perfectionism among women, the authoritarian parenting style was positively associated with maladaptive perfectionism among men, whereas the permissive parenting style was positively associated with maladaptive perfectionism among women and the absence of perfectionism among men. Moreover, the type of personal perfectionism was associated to the respective type of family perfectionism.

No two parents view things in the same way when it comes to raising their children. In this light, the current study attempted to establish a link between parenting methods and gender role ideas. This study used a correlational research design. We selected 300 individuals from a population of 1480 using stratified and simple random selection procedures. The participants’ parenting styles were assessed using Buri’s (1991) Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), and their sex role beliefs were assessed using Williams and Best’s Sex-Role Ideology Scale (SRIS) (1990). Moment of Pearson-Product Correlation was used to determine the relationship between parenting methods and sex role ideology, while regression was utilised to determine the variables’ predictions. It was discovered that parenting techniques had no effect on the participants’ sex-role ideas. Individuals with an authoritative parenting style, on the other hand, were more likely to develop a more modern sex-role ideology, whereas those with an authoritarian parenting style developed a more conventional sex-role ideology. Additionally, both sex and religion predicted modern and traditional sex-role ideas, respectively. Tribe anticipated an authoritative parenting style without regard for either permissive or authoritarian parenting methods. The study recommends that because parenting styles are related to sex-role ideology, guidance and counselling coordinators should place a premium on the most effective parenting style in order to help students develop an acceptable sex role ideology.
