A research study was conducted to identify digital communities' role and sphere of influence in a parenting ecosystem. This report provides an overview of the target segment needs assessment and digitalization of their physical communities and support systems. Primary research was done via telephonic calls and zoom interviews of pregnant and new mothers and couples. Forty participants took part in the study to share their experiences and pain points. In addition to this, a WhatsApp group of 350 participants was created to observe the engagement on a digital medium. The study helped us validate the need for a social support system beyond the existing physical network of the participants to reach out to others with similar or better parenting approaches. 70% of the participants have expressed their willingness to join digital parental communities. The findings have been helpful to understand the role of a digital society, which can enhance the offerings of parenting facilitators and support parents in implementing better parenting practices. Of the last 10-12 years, there has been a steady increase in regional parenting networks. As a result, we picked the impact and influence of digital parental networks on these women's lifestyles and how they have aided in the growth of a conscious and good parenting style as our research topic. The conclusion outlines the impact of these communities and the significant concerns that have arisen due to their increased use.

Children’S Exposure

This chapter reviews the degree to which empirical evidence demonstrates that families influence youth delinquency. Because they are most likely to be emphasized in life-course theories, this chapter focuses on parenting practices such as parental warmth and involvement, supervision and discipline of children, and child maltreatment. It also summarizes literature examining the role of children's exposure to parental violence, family criminality, and young (teenage) parents in affecting delinquency. Because life-course theories are ideally tested using longitudinal data, which allow examination of, in this case, the impact of parenting practices on children's subsequent behaviors, this chapter focuses on evidence generated from prospective studies conducted in the United States and other countries. It also discusses findings from experimental studies designed to reduce youth substance use and delinquency by improving the family environment.

The Impact

Whether preadolescents perceive their parents’ authority as legitimate or not depends, in part, on the concerns and issues that they have dealt with before and during their preadolescence. Utilizing data from the first and second waves of the São Paulo Legal Socialization Study (SPLSS), we conducted one-way MANOVAs to analyze the role of procedural justice and the impact of victimization on preadolescents’ perceptions of parental legitimacy across domains. Preadolescents were split into four distinct groups based on their perceptions of parental legitimacy and whether the perception shifted across the two waves of data. The study revealed a significant difference across groups in terms of procedural justice and on preadolescents’ reported victimization levels. The latter indicate that suffering some form of victimization may have resulted in delegitimizing parental authority. The findings broaden the literature on parenting practices in preadolescence and make salient an emerging field of victimization impacting parental legitimacy.

Religion may often play a significant role in the parenting goals, style, and practices of parents and can be fundamental to shaping family functioning. Religion is a potential resource for parents and can help parents cope better when facing challenging circumstances, such as times of war, and in contexts of adverse circumstances, including displacement and poverty, and also in caring for a disabled child. Taking steps to understand a family’s religious inclinations and how these interact with their parenting practices is a crucial first step in bridging religious motivations and positive parenting approaches. This chapter explores practical ways that families’ religious beliefs can be encompassed into the delivery of evidence-based parenting programs to increase engagement and acceptability and better inform development and delivery.

Abstract:PARENTING BEHAVIORS ANTECEDENTS: THE ROLE OF THE PARENTAL CONFLICTSThe objetive of the research was to analyze the impact that parental conflicts can have on the rearing practices with children. In addition, this possible relationship is studied in the case of mothers and fathers, and according to the sex of the children. Participants were college students, 333 male and 333 female, who answered a questionnaire on parental conflicts (OPS; Porter & O’Leary, 1988) and Supple’set al. (2004) Parenting Practices Questionnaire. The results confirmed the significant relationship between couple conflicts and parenting behaviors. Total conflicts score was significantly related to the six dimensions of parenting used with daughters by fathers and mothers. In the case of children, however, conflicts were related to all dimensions of parenting of the father, and only two of the mother. Specific conflicts due to parenting had equal impact on the levels of support and autonomy maintained by fathers and mothers with daughters, as well as the use of negative parenting practices. However, in the case of the sons, conflicts predicted the negative practices of both parents, but only the dimensions of positive parenting of the father were resented. Finally, more intense conflicts (verbal aggressions score) were strongly associated with a lower use by mothers and fathers of positive parenting practices with daughters, as well as with the increased use by both of them of negative methods. However, in the case of the sons it was only associated with the use of negative parenting methods by the father.Key words: parenting, conflictsResumen:El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar el impacto que puede tener la conflictividad de los padres en las prácticas de crianza que utilizan con los hijos. Además, esa posible relación se estudia con padres y madres, y en función del sexo de los hijos. Los participantes fueron 191 estudiantes universitarios, 44 varones y 147 mujeres, que contestaron un cuestionario sobre conflictos entre los padres (OPS de Porter y O’Leary, 1988) y el cuestionario de prácticas de crianza de Supple et al. (2004). Los resultados confirmaron la relación significativa existente entre conflictividad de pareja y las conductas de crianza mantenidas con los hijos. La puntuación total en conflictividad se relacionaba significativamente con las seis dimensiones de crianza utilizadas con las hijas por padres y madres. En el caso de los hijos, sin embargo, los conflictos se relacionaban con todas las dimensiones de crianza del padre, y solamente con dos de la madre. Los conflictos específicos por la crianza repercutían por igual en los niveles de apoyo y autonomía mantenidos por padres y madres con las hijas, así como en el uso de prácticas de crianza negativas. Sin embargo, en el caso de los hijos, la conflictividad predecía las prácticas negativas de ambos progenitores, pero sólo se resentían las dimensiones de crianza positiva del padre. Finalmente, la conflictividad más intensa (puntuación en agresiones verbales) se asociaba fuertemente con un menor uso por padres y madres de prácticas de crianza positivas con las hijas y una mayor utilización por ambos de métodos negativos, mientras que en el caso de los hijos sólo se asociaba con el uso de métodos de crianza negativos por parte del padre.Palabras clave: Prácticas de crianza, conflictos entre los padres

General Climate

Two studies examined the impact of macrolevel symbolic threat on intergroup attitudes. In Study 1 (N = 71), participants exposed to a macrosymbolic threat (vs. nonsymbolic threat and neutral topic) reported less support toward social policies concerning gay men, an outgroup whose stereotypes implies a threat to values, but not toward welfare recipients, a social group whose stereotypes do not imply a threat to values. Study 2 (N = 78) showed that, whereas macrolevel symbolic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward gay men, macroeconomic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward Asians, an outgroup whose stereotypes imply an economic threat. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the role of a general climate of threat in shaping intergroup attitudes.
