Abstract
Parenting contributes greatly towards child development. But more specifically, parenting styles plays a part in parental beliefs, attitudes, and behaviour. The aim of the study is to examine the differences in perception of parenting styles among young adults – controlling for gender and parental status. The study consisted of 108 participants between the ages of 18-33 years old – there was 27 male participants and 81 female participants. There was 102 non-parent participants and 6 participants who are parents. Results found that there was no significant difference in perception of parenting styles between males and females – however, there was a significant difference in perception of affection and attachment between males and females. There was a significant difference in perception of parenting styles between parents and non-parents.
