ARENTING PRACTICES AND PERSONAL VALUES: COMPARISON BETWEEN PARENTS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED AND NON-INSTITUTIONALIZED ADOLESCENTS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between personal values, parenting practices and adolescents’ institutionalization. We investigated differences between two groups of parents: 235 parents of adolescents attending regular schools and 92 parents of adolescents attending reformatory schools. The results indicate that benevolence was positively associated with parenting practices, but self-enhancement and hedonism had negative correlations with parenting practices. Parents of institutionalized adolescents rated benevolence and conservatism higher and broadmindedness lower than parents of non-institutionalized adolescents. Differences in parenting practices also emerged in connection with social norms, setting limits, and physical safety. We also established the effect of parents` socio-economic status on adolescents’ institutionalization.
