Authoritarian parents attempt to shape, control, and evaluate

the behavior and attitudes of their children in accordance with an absolute set of conduct
standards that usually comes from religious or respected authorities.

Permissive parents are less controlling and behave with an accepting and non-punishing attitude
towards their children's
desires, actions, and impulses.

A fourth parenting style was introduced by Maccoby and Martin in 1983. They coined the term
uninvolved or neglectful parents who take on a "hands-off" stand in the affairs of their children.

Positive regard is believed to be important for the healthy development of one's self-concept
and for successful interpersonal relationships (Liebert & Spiegler, 1994). Positive regard
includes love, sympathy, warmth, acceptance, and respect which people crave from family,
friends, and other significant people. Conditional positive regard refers to positive regard
received as a result of acceptable behavior or living up to the expectations and standards of
others. For example, a teacher may reward students for passing the test. Unconditional positive
regard, on the other hand, refers to the love and acceptance received by a person regardless of
who he/she is or what he/she does. For instance, parents may still love and respect their child
even if the child flunks an exam.
