The present study had two main goals. The first was to analyze the differences between parenting dimensions—strictness/imposition and involvement/acceptance—in adolescents’ engagement in peer aggression as aggressors, victims, aggressive victims, and non-involved. The second goal was to examine differences between parenting dimensions and peer-aggression roles by gender of both parents and adolescents. Participants were 779 adolescents (49.16% boys and 50.84% girls), aged between 12 and 16 years old (M = 14.21; SD = 1.35), enrolled in schools in Andalusia (Spain). Findings showed significant differences in parenting dimensions depending on gender of both adolescents (boy or girl) and parents (mother and father). For sons, non-involved adolescents scored higher in mother and father involvement than aggressors and aggressive victims. For daughters, non-involved scored higher in mother involvement than aggressors. Furthermore, girl aggressors and aggressive victims reported higher levels of mother imposition than non-involved. Results and their implications for sustainable development in adolescence are discussed.

A telephone survey investigated the level of father involvement in primary schools in a regional area of New South Wales. Hypotheses tested were: (a) that the level of mother involvement is higher than that of fathers, and (b) that fathers are primarily involved in gender stereotypical activities. The survey also aimed to provide a benchmark for programs aimed at increasing the level of father involvement in primary schools. Out of a possible 52 public primary schools, 43 participated. The results confirmed the hypotheses: principals estimated that only one-fifth of volunteers at the schools were male, and sports, outdoor activities and security were the preferred areas of involvement.

Pada anak usia kanak-kanak madya anak mengalami perubahan di beberapa aspek kehidupannya. Hal tersebut menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi orangtua untuk menjalankan proses pengasuhan yang positif. Pengasuhan yang dilakukan orangtua terhadap anak akan memengaruhi perilaku anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh persepsi keterlibatan orangtua (ayah dan ibu) dan strategi pengasuhan secara bersama-sama terhadap parenting self-efficacy. Pengukuran persepsi keterlibatan orangtua menggunakan alat ukur Reported Father Involvement Scales (Finley & Schwartz, 2004) dan Reported Mother Involvement Scales (Finley, Mira, & Schwartz, 2008), sedangkan pengukuran strategi pengasuhan menggunakan alat ukur Parenting Strategies Questionnaire (Laforce, 2004). Pengukuran parenting self-efficacy menggunakan alat ukur Self-Efficacy for Parenting Task Index (Coleman & Karraker, 2000). Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 270 orangtua (ayah atau ibu, boleh tidak berpasangan) yang berusia pada rentang 25-45 tahun dan memiliki anak yang usianya kanak-kanak madya (5-12 tahun). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh persepsi keterlibatan ayah dan strategi pengasuhan secara bersama-sama secara signifikan terhadap parenting self-efficacy F (2, 267) = 13,805, p<0,01. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh persepsi keterlibatan ibu dan strategi pengasuhan secara bersama-sama secara signifikan terhadap parenting self-efficacy F (2, 267) = 11,021, p<0,01. Pada penelitian ini parenting self-efficacy dapat diprediksi oleh persepsi keterlibatan orangtua di masa lalu dan strategi pengasuhan.
