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.

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.

In 1865, nearly ninety years after the founding of the United States, the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, thereby abolishing the “peculiar institution” which had once threatened to end the Great Experiment of American Democracy. Two subsequent amendments, ratified in 1868 and 1870, guaranteed equal protection of the law to all citizens and prohibited the denial of voting rights on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Yet, close to one hundred years after these three Reconstruction Amendments became the law of the land, racial equality was still something confined to the dreams of visionaries and activists.

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 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

In the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrid conducted a research, analyzing child-parent behavior, seeking to identify parenting styles. The Baumrid study and other further studies identified four main styles of parenting (Miller, 2010): the authoritative parenting style was characterized by fair rules and consequences; The Authoritarian parenting style was characterized by strict rules and harsh punishment; the permissive parenting style was characterized by minimal rules with little or no consequences; the uninvolved parenting style was characterized by no rules, and parent presence was almost non-existent. In this paper, I’m going to look at the authoritarian style of parenting in an attempt to draw out its characteristics and its immediate and later impacts on children impact.

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

Pulido chose to go to CSU Stanislaus to stay close by to her family, while in the meantime have her own individual space. Pulido dreams of owning her own office as a psychologist. Pulido is very fascinated by the study of the mind, she would like to further understand the functions and behavior of the human mind. Even though she thinks she is the least creative person you'll ever meet, she wants to inspire those around her, as she states “I want to be remembered as a very helpful person that contributed to society.” Pulido is known to be smart, shy, and very dedicated to her academics.

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

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?

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.

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.

The styles that Dr. Baumrind recognized were based on two aspects of parenting; parental responsiveness and parental expectation (demandingness). The aspects are determined by the parent’s characteristics on the actions towards the children. Too much or too little of either aspect of parenting can conflict with the child’s learning and behavior. A single selection of the four parenting styles is approached after determining the degree of each of the two aspects. Although there is not a perfect match for any parent, most will tend to push towards a

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
