The nurse in the pediatric clinic observes a parental lack of warmth and interest toward the child. Which family style will the nurse most likely document in this situation?
1. Authoritarian
2. Authoritative
3. Indifferent
4. Permissive
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Parents displaying the indifferent parenting style fail to demonstrate consistent warmth and interest in their children. Parents who favor the authoritarian style may exhibit a punitive attitude toward the child who is misbehaving but are not disinterested. Parents employing the authoritative style and the permissive style have children who report that "my parent loves me and shows affection regularly."
