Paternal Parenting Styles and Filial Piety Toward Fathers Among Chinese Adolescents: The Roles of Conscientiousness and Moral Identity
By Peng C, Zhang Z, Wang Y and 2 others.
Abstract
Background
Previous studies have demonstrated that caregivers' parenting styles are associated with children' filial piety toward parents. However, the underlying mechanisms linking parenting styles to filial piety toward parents remain largely unspecified. Additionally, prior research commonly classifies family parenting styles into positive parenting and negative parenting, neglecting the potential differential impacts and pathways of different types of paternal parenting styles on filial piety toward fathers.
Purpose
Drawing on theoretical and empirical evidence, this study investigated the relationship between two types of paternal parenting styles (positive and negative) and filial piety toward fathers among Chinese adolescents, employing serial mediation models that included conscientiousness and moral identity as potential mediators.
