What is the difference between parenting styles and practices? What role do they play in
predicting child adjustment? How are these constructs assessed?
What will be an ideal response?
Parenting practices refer primarily to parenting behaviors, such as disciplinary
techniques, sensitivity, instrumental assistance, or monitoring. There are innumerable
questionnaires that assess the behaviors, some poll a wide range of parenting practices,
whereas others assess a particular construct (e.g., parental monitoring). Parenting styles
refer more to the "way" a parent enacts these behaviors. Parenting styles differ on 2
dimensions: responsiveness and demandingness. These styles have been identified in a
variety of ways, including observations, questionnaires, and q-sort methods. The
relationship between parenting practices and child adjustment is largely dependent on
the parenting style, for example, a particular parenting practice, such as monitoring,
may be viewed differently by children of authoritative or authoritarian parents.
