Past research suggests that parents and children are similar in terms of overall gender ideology and that authoritative parenting promotes the best outcomes for children. Given this knowledge, the present study sought to investigate the relationship between these two concepts while examining whether the relations between gender ideology and parenting style differ based on parent and child gender. A sample of 76 adolescents from the United States and their parents were asked to complete questionnaires surveying parenting style and gender ideology. Analyses assessed the similarity of parents and their children in terms of gender ideology as well as examined parenting style as a moderator of this association. Results indicated that parent and child gender ideologies are similar, but parenting style does not consistently moderate the transmission of gender ideology from parent to child. Results also revealed that paternal gender ideology is more consistently related to teen, particularly male, gender ideology than maternal gender ideology.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
