Relationship between child rearing practices and selected adolescent behavior

This study is aimed to determine the relationship between certain child-rearing practices of mothers and some patterns of adolescent behavior. The subjects chosen were 210 students of De La Salle University who are in the Dean\u27s List. Structured questionnaires for mothers and students were used in data gathering and correlations between measures for the different categories were computed. Significant correlations were obtained between the achievement-oriented behavior of their children between the mother\u27s child rearing practices emphasizing sharing and cooperation and the children\u27s sociability behavior and, between the mother\u27s permissive - rearing practices and the self-reliant behavior of their children. Thus, as concluded, the mother is still but not as much significant a factor in personality development in the adolescent years than in the earlier years. the adolescents may have been exposed to and influenced by other factors such as their personal interactions in school and the community
