Psychology: Diana Baumrind

The psychologist Diana Baumrind identified three categories of parenting styles and linked them to children’s behaviors. “Authoritative” parents is one example, parents that have strong control when necessary, but they explain why and allow them to have their own opinion.

Psychologists have always debated the role of parenting styles and their influence on the development of children. Parenting styles can be defined as the psychological construct representing the basic strategies that parent use in raising their child (Matsumoto, Juang 2013 p.69). Parenting styles encompass two major aspects of parting those being parental responsiveness and paternal demanding. Paternal responsiveness is essentially the extent at which a parent fosters individuality, self-regulation, and self-assertion. While paternal demanding is the measure of which the parent makes the child

A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.

Parents play the largest role in the overall development of children. During the early 1960’s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted experiments that were designed to identify and understand the different types of parenting. As a result of these studies, Baumrind concluded that there are four main styles of parenting, one of them being the authoritarian parenting style. In the studies, Baumrind claims that an authoritarian parent is defined as a parent who, “attempts to shape, control, and evaluate the behavior and attitudes of their children in accordance with a set standard of conduct, usually an absolute standard, theologically motivated or formulated by a higher secular authority” (Baumrind 127). Authoritarian

Parenting styles were developed by Diana Baumrind in 1966 at the University of California at Berkeley (Diana Divecha Ph.D, 2015). Baumrind used a model of demands and responsiveness to determine three types of parenting styles. These styles were authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting. Because permissive parenting lacks in demand and discipline, it will not be discussed in this essay. In Baumrind’s model, demands refers to the amount of control parents exert onto and expect from their children. Responsiveness refers to how a parent nurtures and empathizes with their child. Parents with high demands and high responsiveness follow the authoritative parenting style. On

However, according to that same report from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report for 2011, the violent crime in Phoenix, AZ is at 5.51 and the property crime rate is at 43.98, that is a drastic difference. First of all, population is a key factor why crime is more prevalent in the Phoenix area. Given that, “Surprise is 160 % less densely populated than Phoenix” (Sperling, (2016). Another key point is marriage, the family structure that gives stability to children. “People are 19% more likely to be married in Surprise” (Sperling, (2016). Having a mother and father in the home is very influential for juveniles (potential offenders).

The FBI and Criminal Profiling The FBI is the United States’s top line of national security and prides itself on its intelligence driven and threat focused organizations. It also works to enforce criminal laws of the United States and to lead federal, state, municipal, and other partners in criminal justice services. A leading work in the FBI is the development of criminal profiling.

The characteristics needed for a behavior analysis for the FBI are someone who has self-discipline, confidence, intelligence, physically and mentally fit to perform under pressure, the ability to make quick decisions, and someone who is capable of bearing numerous responsibilities. And only then will you be at all qualified for the position. The FBI isn't an employer that will hire just anyone that may fit the job description. In order to be considered for the opening, you first must got through an extensive background check and several other test that may take several years to finalize. The process of becoming an FBI agent alone will take several months, if not years to complete, and after that you begin your career as an agent for at least

Diana Braumind, a clinical and developmental psychologist, was known for her research of parental styles in the late 1960s. In her study, she and her research team followed more than 100 children of preschool-age. Baumrind 's primary research methods were interviews and observation. With her results, she was able to categorize three different types of parenting styles: Authoritarian, Authoritative, and Permissive. Elaborating on the work of Braumind, two researchers named Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin later added the classification of “neglecting” parenting.

Developmental psychologist have been very interested in parent’s styles and how they impact on the development. During the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted a study, she put the study on 100 preschool-age children (Baumrind, 1967).However, Baumrind found that actual cause and the effect links between the

The purpose of this study is to identify the accuracy of FBI criminal profiles, to evaluate the effectiveness of the released profiles, and to analyze the most useful aspects of the criminal profile. The data collection and analysis that will form the foundation of my research will be a qualitative procedure that will answer the following questions: How accurate are FBI criminal profiles? How effective are the FBI criminal profiles? What aspect of the FBI criminal profile has most contributed to the apprehending of the criminal?

Growing up, I have had to babysit many children and each child has grown up with a different set of rules and parenting styles were always different. So I had to adapt to each home a little differently. However, I am sure that the parents came into parenting not having much knowledge about how they were going to teach their kids right from wrong, how they were going to punish their children when they got to that age of punishment, how they were going to teach their child good morals, and etc., but I do know all parents have at least a little diversity in their style of parenting. Many psychologists have looked into different parenting styles and have focused on several differing terms such as parental control, parental responsiveness, and parental

Many crime shows have started to depict some form of criminal profiling. However, Criminal Minds is one of the shows that focuses on these premises the most. Some of the depictions mirror real life profiling, while others falsify our image of a real profilers work. This false depiction could have implications for the way society views profilers and their job.

There are many different parenting styles all over the world. Some parents may stay at home, while some work; some may be strict and have their children on an all organic diet and limited T.V time, while others might buy fast food every other night and let their kids run wild with imagination. Many mothers and fathers have different parenting styles and goals; but where do these underlying thoughts and actions come from? Sigmund Freud, a psychologist whose main work was dealing with psychoanalysis from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, would say it was from somewhere deep within the unconsciousness of these moms and dads. According to Freud (1915) the unconscious mind is the primary source of human behavior like an iceberg the most important part of your mind is the part you cannot see (Para 3). Meaning the unconscious part of your mind is the most important because it’s almost as if you do things unwillingly without knowing. The underlining emotions are the most important. I believe, parenting styles, actions, and goals, are all the unconscious mind of parents wanting to be better than their own mother and father; or imitating the same habits they have grew up with throughout their childhood.
