RODRIGUEZ, Miguel Ángel; BARRIO, María Victoria Del  and  CARRASCO, Miguel Ángel. How is perceived the parental behaviour by children and adolescence?: Age and gender differences. Escritos de Psicología [online]. 2009, vol.2, n.2, pp.10-18. ISSN 1989-3809.

This study focuses on perceived parenting characteristics by children and adolescent. The Child Report Parental Behaviour Inventory (CRPBI; Schaefer, 1965) was applied to a sample of 1182 subjects (45.3% boys and 54.7% girls) between 8-16 years old. According to children' report, girls are more sensible to parents' affectivity and communication whereas boys are to parental control and hostility. Mothers scored more than fathers in all domains except in hostility. Perception of affectivity, communication and supervision decreases with informants' age and, in contrast, hostility increases.

Keywords : Rearing; children; adolescent; affectivity; hostility; parental behaviour.
