  • Authoritative parenting moderates the impact of perceived discrimination on health [Elektronski vir]
    Kirbiš, Andrej, 1982- ...
    Parents play a crucial role in well-being of their children. Previous studies have indicated that authoritative parenting is especially conducive to healthy offspring development. In addition, ... parenting styles may also play a protective role in the negative impact of various children's stressors. One such stressor is the experience of not being treated fairly/equally in one's social environment, i.e., being discriminated against. The purpose of our study was to examine 1) whether authoritative parenting style impacts youth's subjective health and substance use; 2) whether perceived discrimination (PD) impacts subjective health and substance use; and 3) whether authoritative parenting moderates the impact of PD on health and substance use. Methods: We examined survey data from a representative sample of Slovenian young people aged 16-27 in 2013 (Flere et al., 2014; N = 907; 48,3 % women). Results: Authoritative parenting was associated with better health and less frequent substance use. In addition, PD had a significant negative impact on health, but not on substance use. Finally, authoritative parenting styles moderated the impact of PD on health by dampening the negative impact of PD on health. Conclusion: Authoritative parenting is an important protective resource within the family that improves health of young people and reduces the impact of stressors on health.
