EFFECTS OF PARENTING STYLE TO THE ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN

PALAYAN CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

Introduction:

Parenting style has long been recognized as a key factor in the

development of children's behavior and academic achievement. A variety of

parenting styles have been identified, including authoritative, authoritarian,

permissive, and neglectful. These styles differ in their degree of control and

warmth, which can have significant implications for a student's academic

performance. While numerous studies have examined the relationship between

parenting style and academic achievement, there is still a need for further research

to understand the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Therefore, this study

aims to investigate the effects of parenting style on the academic performance of

senior high school students in Palayan City National High School. Specifically,

the study will examine how parenting styles impact academic motivation, self-

efficacy, and engagement, which are important predictors of academic success.

The findings of this study could inform parenting interventions aimed at

promoting positive academic outcomes for students.Review of Related Literature

Review of Related Literature

Parenting style is a pattern of attitudes and authority that are conveyed to

the child, creating the emotional context for parent behavior (Leung & Kit Man,

2023)

Parents are the primary caregivers and influencers in the life of a child,

and their parenting style can have a lasting impact on their brain development.

Positive parenting can foster healthy brain development, while negative parenting

can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. It is important to provide a safe and

supportive environment that encourages healthy brain development to ensure a

child's full potential (Athena, 2023)

Every parent has a different approach to how to interact and guide their

children. Different researchers have identified four main types of parenting style:

authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Each parent will fall into

one of these types and sometimes have some characteristics from another

category. Parenting style can also be situation-dependent. (Sanvictores T,

Mendez MD, 2022)

The ideal parenting style may vary depending on the child's personality,

temperament, and developmental stage. Research has consistently shown that

authoritative parenting is generally considered to be the most effective parenting

style for promoting positive outcomes in children.(Larrazabal, 2023)

 Parenting has become more global, with authoritative parenting seen as

beneficial for children's development, but sensitivity to cultural and contextual

variations has increased. (Smetana, 2022)

An authoritative parenting style is characterized by high responsiveness

and expectations, while setting limits and enforcing boundaries. (Li, 2023)

Authoritative parenting balances clear rules and expectations with warmth,

support, and guidance. This approach fosters independence, responsibility, strong

relationships, open communication, academic success, and the prevention of

behavioral problems. (Larrazabal, 2023)

Parenting styles can play a part in academic achievement and motivation.

(kendra cherry, 2022)

Modern society is increasingly placing a great emphasis on parenting

styles, which can lead to mental health problems in adolescents. (Junting liang,

2023)

Authoritarian parents are strict disciplinarians and expect their children to

obey their rules without questioning. Authoritarian parents may use expressions

such as “You will do that, because I say so”. These behaviours may cause the

adolescent to be dependent and rebellious. Authoritarian parenting is a strict

parenting style that puts high expectations on children with little responsiveness

and focuses on obedience, discipline, control, and problem-solving instead of

nurturing the child. Mistakes are punished harshly and feedback is usually

negative. (Dann Brennan MD, 2021)

 Permissive parents display a high degree of warmth, but are undemanding

and do not have high expectations. This can lead to children being spoiled and

expecting to be given priority, which can lead to egocentric behaviours.

(kosterelioglu, 2018)

Uninvolved parenting also called as neglectful parenting, a style of

parenting where children receive little guidance, discipline, and nurturing, leaving

them to make decisions on their own. (Higuera, 2019)

This article examines the typology of authoritarian, permissive, and

authoritative parenting styles in relation to adolescent school performance.

Results from a sample of San Francisco Bay Area high school students showed

that authoritarian parenting was positively associated with grades, while

permissive parenting was negatively correlated with grades. Authoritarian

parenting was a stronger association with grades than the other two parenting

styles, except among Hispanic males, and the full typology best predicted grades

among white students. Pure authoritative families had the highest mean estimates,

while inconsistent families that combine authoritarian parenting with other

parenting styles had the lowest. (Dornbusch, Ritter, Leiderman, and Fraleigh,

2018)

Authoritative parenting requires high performance from a child, but also

provides high support (Li, 2019). Authoritarian parenting includes high

requirements like authoritative parenting, but the difference is the lack of support

provided (Li, 2019). These parents will be very demanding, but not encouraging
when a personal relationship is needed. Permissive parents will not be very strict

but will be very compassionate with their kids (Li, 2019). These parents are more

like friends than authoritative figures. Lastly, uninvolved parents provide no rules,

nor any support (Li, 2019). The present study is designed to understand which of

these styles is strongly associated with college academic success. The expected

results include authoritative parenting leading to higher GPA’s combined with

high support on how to get there would propel someone to be able to reach their

full potential. (Weicker, 2022)

Self-efficacy is essential for the psychological development of

adolescents, and research is needed to understand the relationship between

parenting styles and academic performance. (Hamid Masud,Muhammad Shakil

Ahmad,Farzand Ali Jan,Ahmad Fadli Jamil, 2018)

Every parent has a different approach to how to interact and guide their

children. Different researchers have identified four main types of parenting style:

authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Each parent will fall into

one of these types and sometimes have some characteristics from another

category. Parenting style can also be situation-dependent. (Mendez MD, 2022)

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has a profound impact on the daily

lives of children and their families worldwide (Brooks, 2020; Graber, 2021;

Nicomedes & Avila, 2020; Wang, Zhang, Zhao, Zhang & Jiang, 2020; Zhang,

2021).
 During the COVID-19 pandemic, parenting styles were significantly

correlated with the psychological and physical stresses experienced by children.

Punishance had a significant correlation with increased stress, while warm and

permissive parenting styles had positive correlations with increased good

behavioral traits and behaviors. Social support enhanced mothers' self-esteem and

positive perceptions among children, providing important clues to support

families. (Mochida, Sanada, Lee, Takaoka, Ando & Sakakihara, 2022).

Modern society is increasingly placing a great emphasis on parenting

styles, which can lead to mental health problems in adolescents. (Liang, 2023).

Parents strive to help their children reach their full potential, with some being

intentional and others having a relaxed attitude. This study examines the effect of

parenting styles on academic success in college.( Weicker, 2022).

Vac Parents bring unique traits and qualities to the parenting relationship

that affect their decisions, such as age, gender identity, personality, developmental

history, beliefs, knowledge about parenting and child development, and mental

and physical health. Those with more agreeable, conscientious, and outgoing

personalities are better able to respond positively and provide a more consistent,

structured environment for their children. (Lang and Deiner,2018).

Recently, online learning has been broadened to support learners’ learning

processes. Attention has been given to academic self-efficacy (ASE) in

educational psychology as an influential factor to enhance academic performance.

(Yokoyama, 2019). (Albulescu, Vicențiu Labar, Manea, Stan, 2023). Emphasized

the importance of parenting styles for the necessary fulfilment of the

developmental needs of children and eventually improving their quality of life is

frequently treated in the literature. Despite there being many studies that

examined the relationship of parenting styles and academic performance, there is

a lack of measurement of the relationship in the Romanian sample.

(Masud, Mufarrih, Qureshi, Khan, Khan, 2019) Stated that academic

performance is among the several components of academic success. Many factors,

including socioeconomic status, student temperament and motivation, peer, and

parental support influence academic performance. 1(2018)Furthermore parents

exert a strong influence on their children's diet. While authoritative parenting

style is linked to healthier weight and dietary outcomes in children, and

authoritarian and permissive parenting styles with unhealthy eating, little is

known about the mechanisms that mediate these relationships. Feeding styles are

often examined in relation to child diet, but they do not consider the social and

physical environmental contexts in which dietary behaviors occur.

Parental involvement in school is a key factor for children's academic

outcomes. A study of 498 parents/ guardians whose children attended second and

hird grades in 16 public elementary schools in Chile suggested the existence of

three different profiles of parental involvement (high, medium, and low). Results

showed that there are differences in children's Academic achievement between the

parental involvement profiles, indicating that children whose parents have a low

involvement have lower academic achievement. (Sarcostti, 2019)
