Book excerpt: Higher education has experienced an increase in parent engagement in the lives of college students (Arnett, 2014). Recognizing the presence of families, researchers have investigated the relationship between parenting style and college success variables such as academic performance (Miller & Speirs Neumeister, 2017), wellness (Coccia & Darling, 2017), and transition (Love & Thomas, 2014). In recent literature, studies have focused on grit and its relation to college success (Bowman et al., 2015; Duckworth et al., 2007); yet, research on the relationship between parenting style and grit is lacking. This quantitative correlational study investigated the relationship between college student self-report of grit (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009) and parenting style (Baumrind, 1971b). The study was guided by the following research questions: 1. Is there a relationship between parenting style and college student grit? To what extent and in what manner does parenting style explain the variance in grit? 2. Is there a relationship among parenting style, college student grit, and demographics? To what extent and in what manner does parenting style and demographics explain the variance in grit? Data were collected from undergraduate students (N = 974) through a questionnaire. The results revealed authoritative parenting was positively correlated (single r = .206, p = .003, ES = small/med; parent 1 r = .220, p

This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past years, more emphasis has been given in understanding the level of cultural adjustment that individuals face on migrating to a new country. Not much attention has been given on studying repatriates. This phenomenological study deals with the experiences of 17 Indian repatriates, their emotional challenges and the various coping strategies that they had to employ in order to smoothen their repatriation process on returning to their home country. Six main themes were identified on applying thematic analysis to the individual semi-structured interviews: relief from hardships faced in the host country, stronger bond with the home country, feeling of being an alien in your home country, dynamic factors upon repatriation, emotive encounters and coming to terms with chaos associated with repatriation. Findings from the study, shows that the repatriates had faced many emotional challenges such as feeling of alienation, difficulty in adjusting to the old culture and getting a job, adjusting to the new work settings, grief on leaving the host country, idleness and laziness felt on repatriation, societal and familial pressure and financial struggles. Financial security, positive adjustment to the new work settings and the new income scale, lessons learned from the hostile experiences faced while abroad, pre-arrangements done in the home country before repatriating and reintegrating host culture into home culture served as an effective coping strategy, which eventually helped them in their successful repatriation over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study compared reports of perceived parenting style of mothers and fathers from predominantly White-American (n = 276) college students in the United States and Indian college students in India (n = 195). This study investigated whether cultural group identification moderated the relationship between perceived parenting style and college students' interpersonal/family and academic/career functioning. Results indicated that Indian females were most likely to perceive their mothers and fathers as authoritative, followed by U.S. males and females, followed by Indian males. Indian males were most likely to perceive their mothers as authoritarian, followed by U.S. males and females, followed by Indian females. Perceived authoritative parenting was inversely associated with interpersonal and academic problems for Indian and U.S. college students, while perceived authoritarian parenting was positively associated with interpersonal and academic problems in both samples. Culture did not serve as a moderator for perceived parenting style and interpersonal or academic problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helicopter parents—the kind that continue to hover even in college—are one of the most ridiculed figures of twenty-first-century parenting, criticized for creating entitled young adults who boomerang back home. But do involved parents really damage their children and burden universities? In this book, sociologist Laura T. Hamilton illuminates the lives of young women and their families to ask just what role parents play during the crucial college years. Hamilton vividly captures the parenting approaches of mothers and fathers from all walks of life—from a CFO for a Fortune 500 company to a waitress at a roadside diner. As she shows, parents are guided by different visions of the ideal college experience, built around classed notions of women’s work/family plans and the ideal age to “grow up.” Some are intensively involved and hold adulthood at bay to cultivate specific traits: professional helicopters, for instance, help develop the skills and credentials that will advance their daughters’ careers, while pink helicopters emphasize appearance, charm, and social ties in the hopes that women will secure a wealthy mate. In sharp contrast, bystander parents—whose influence is often limited by economic concerns—are relegated to the sidelines of their daughter’s lives. Finally, paramedic parents—who can come from a wide range of class backgrounds—sit in the middle, intervening in emergencies but otherwise valuing self-sufficiency above all. Analyzing the effects of each of these approaches with clarity and depth, Hamilton ultimately argues that successfully navigating many colleges and universities without involved parents is nearly impossible, and that schools themselves are increasingly dependent on active parents for a wide array of tasks, with intended and unintended consequences. Altogether, Parenting to a Degree offers an incisive look into the new—and sometimes problematic—relationship between students, parents, and universities.

Download or read book The Impact of Different Parenting Styles on First Year College Students Adaptation to College written by Gregory J. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was undertaken to determine the impact of different parenting styles on college students' adaptation to college. During the second week of college, 80 first-year students from two-parent families completed the Tests of Reactions and Adaptations to College, English version and the Parental Authority Questionnaire. Authoritative parenting was related to more positive characteristics in the students studied than either authoritarian or permissive parenting including having less anxiety, being more willing to seek help from peers and teachers, being better prepared for exams, and giving greater priority to their college studies. While permissive parenting was related to better emotional adjustment than authoritarian parenting, the behavioral and belief differences resulting from those two parenting styles were negligible. Comparing mothers and fathers, the fathers' parenting styles had a greater impact on the students than the mothers' parenting styles. The results of this research suggest that different parenting styles have impacted the development of students' individual dispositions and that those individual dispositions then impact on and are exhibited in the students' initial adjustment to college.

Download or read book Career Indecision Goal Orientation and Perceived Parenting Styles as Predictors of Academic Status of Sophomore College Students at the University of Santo Tomas written by Analene N. Atillo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined three factors believed to have significant impact on the academic performance of second year college students, which are: Career Indecision, Goal Orientation, and Perceived Parenting Styles, and with the primary goal of knowing what could be a good predictor of academic status. One thousand one hundred nine (1109) second year students from the university participated. Overall, results showed that academic status is significantly correlated with career indecision, mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goal orientations. For the perceived parenting style, significant relationships were also observed with authoritarian and flexible parenting style of mother, and authoritarian parenting style of father. Interestingly, regression analysis showed that career indecision, mastery goal orientation, authoritarian parenting style of mother, and flexible parenting style of mother are predictors of academic status. Thus, a student's experience of career indecision, being oriented towards mastering academic tasks, and perception of mother's moderation of firmness and warmth, affect academic performance. With these findings, specific enrichment and intervention programs on career, academic, and personal-social aspects may be developed to facilitate a better academic experience for the student. Implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

Download or read book Grit written by Angela Duckworth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).
