Relationship between parenting behaviors and parenting experiences with self-control in preschool children

Kompetentnost je osjećaj koji se kod roditelja očituje postizanjem kvalitete u ostvarivanju roditeljske uloge, a postiže se mogućnošću korištenja kako svojih vlastitih, tako i poticaja koji dolaze unutar okruženja. Kompetentnim se roditeljima smatraju oni koji za sebe smatraju da u obnašanju roditeljske uloge imaju kontrolu te oni koji su zadovoljni odnosom koji imaju sa svojim djetetom (Ljubetić, 2007). Psihosocijalni razvoj djece i adolescenata je pod utjecajem kvalitete odnosa koji djeca imaju s roditeljima. Kvaliteta odnosa roditelj- dijete, odnosno sam odnos nije moguće jednostavno izmjeriti. Keresteš i suradnici (2012) opisuju roditeljska ponašanja za koja je utvrđena stabilnost u strukturi. To su: emocionalnost, bihevioralna i psihološka kontrola. U provedenom je istraživanju mjereno roditeljsko ponašanje (roditeljska podrška, restriktivna kontrola i popustljivost). Također, mjerena je roditeljska kompetentnost putem skale koja mjeri zadovoljstvo i roditeljsku kompetentnost. Konstrukt samokontrole mjeren je putem ljestvice socioemocionalne dobrobiti i otpornosti. Naposljetku, mjerena je kontrola ulaganja napora kao dimenzija temperamenta. Cilj je rada bio ispitati povezanost roditeljskih ponašanja i roditeljske kompetentnosti i ulaganja napora, i samokontrole kod djece predškolske dobi. Dobivena je statistički značajna razlika u samokontroli i ulaganju napora kod dječaka i djevojčica. Statistički značajna povezanost dobivena je između ulaganja napora i roditeljske podrške te kompetentnosti i zadovoljstva.Competence is a feeling expressed by parents in achieving quality in the fulfillment of their parental role, and is achieved by the ability to use both their own and the stimuli that come within the environment. Competent parents are those who consider themselves to be in control of their parenting role and those who are satisfied with the relationship they have with their child (Ljubetić, 2007). The psychosocial development of children and adolescents is influenced by the quality of the relationship that children have with their parents. The quality of the parentchild relationship, or the relationship itself, cannot be measured easily. Keresteš et al. (2012) describe parenting behaviors that have been found to have stability in structure. These are: emotionality, behavioral and psychological control. The conducted research measures parental behavior (parental support, restrictive control, and indulgence). In addition, parental competence was measured using a scale that measures satisfaction and parental competence. The self-control construct was measured using the scale of socioemotional well-being and resilience. Finally, control of effort effort as a dimension of temperament was measured. The aim of the study was to examine the association between parenting behaviors and self-control and effort among preeschool children. There was a statistically significant difference in self-control and effort among boys and girls. A statistically significant correlation was found between effort and parental support and competence satisfaction
