Summary
354 Swedish eighth graders and their parents participated in a study investigating the extent to which adolescents’ achievement strategies are associated with the parenting styles of their families. Four types of parenting styles were identified: authoritative (demanding and responsive), authoritarian (demanding, but not responsive), permissive (responsive, but not demanding), and neglectful (neither responsive nor demanding). Adolescents from authoritative families tended to use the most adaptive achievement strategy.
