摘要:Background: Association between parenting dimensions and externalizing behaviors in
children was examined. Method: Data on children from the middle class families of
Patiala (N=240) were collected from schools and families. Parents completed
questionnaires on parenting dimensions and externalizing behaviors of children. Results:
Analysis of variance of externalizing behaviors indicated significant mean differences
for gender and age on aggression and conduct disorders. Analysis of variance for
parenting variables indicated significant differences for age and gender on indulgence,
punitive, physical coercion, and verbal hostility parenting dimensions. Correlations
between non reasoning, verbal hostility, physical coercion, autonomy and indulgence
parenting dimensions and externalizing behaviors were significantly positive whereas
regulation and connection parenting dimensions showed a significant negative correlation
with externalizing behaviors. Multiple regression analysis of parenting dimensions to
each externalizing behaviors showed that autonomy, non reasoning and indulgence
parenting dimensions predicted externalizing behaviors. Conclusions: Parenting
significantly influences externalizing behaviors in children
