| Résumé : | Social norms about gender roles shape shared ideologies about how to be a “good” mother or a “good” father and may prescribe different parenting practices for mothers and/or fathers. The literature reveals particularly high standards of good parenting in western societies, especially for mothers. Given that parents are active agents who may react differently to parenting prescriptions, the present contribution adopts a person-centered approach, with two aims. First, we consider parental adherence to an intensive parenting ideology, essentialist beliefs and perceived social pressure, in order to distinguish between different profiles. Second, we examine whether these profiles are differently associated with positive and negative parenting dimensions (in terms of involvement, responsiveness, autonomy support, anxious overprotection, overvaluation and parental control). Cluster analysis was conducted on a Belgian sample of 504 mothers and 368 fathers of adolescents. Analyses yielded five profiles for each gender. For both mothers and fathers, there was considerable variation between the different profiles in terms of their beliefs and perceived pressure. More negative parenting was reported by the more traditional profiles in both mother and father samples. Results highlight how parents vary in the way they engage with society' s expectations about parenting, and that this variability is associated with their parenting practices. |
