Parenting Style and Feedback in Communication between Parents and Adolescents

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research related to feedback from parents with various parenting styles, divided according to Diana Baumrind’s conception into authoritative, authoritarian or permissive. The aim of the study was to determine what kind of positive and negative feedback is characteristic of each style. The study was conducted among adolescents, aged 16–19, N = 226. Both the parenting styles and feedback were studied from the adolescent’s perspective. The following methods were applied: Parental Authority Questionnaire (Buri, 1991) and our own method: Questionnaire of Feedback in Parent-Child Relations. The results show that the most significant correlations occurred between feedback and the authoritative style. The stronger the authoritative style of the parent was (both for mothers and fathers), the more often the adolescent experienced positive feedback (general, specific and trait-related) and constructive criticism from the parent, and the less often there was a lack of reaction from the parent. The authoritarian parenting style was connected with less effective communication, in which negative feedback predominated. There was no clear pattern between feedback and the permissive style.
