Parenting Practices and the Development of Internalizing/ Externalizing Problems in Adolescence

Stelios Georgiou and Maria Symeou

A chapter in Parenting - Empirical Advances and Intervention Resources from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter examines the existing relationship between different types of parental practices and the development of internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in adolescence. Parental involvement and parenting styles are defined and analyzed as possible parameters of adolescent problems, including bullying and victimization. Special emphasis is given to the distinction between behavioral and psychological parental control. Furthermore, issues such as parent-adolescent conflict, locus of control, and parental values are discussed as correlates of these problems, since prior research has identified them as either risk or protective factors for child and adolescent social and emotional adaptation.
