The aim of this paper was to establish which parenting style of Spanish families is associated with optimum children's outcomes. A random Spanish sample of 1,103 parents of children and teenagers from 6 to 14 years of age, of whom 47% were females, reported on their child-rearing practices. Families were classified into 1 of 4 groups (authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, or neglectful) based on the parents' answers. Socialization outcomes were 6 indicators of interpersonal relationship quality, 9 indicators of psychological adjustment, 7 indicators of personal competence, and 12 indicators of behavior problems. Results showed that indulgent and authoritative parenting styles were associated with better outcomes than authoritarian and neglectful parenting. Overall, our results supported the idea that, in Spain, the optimum parenting style is the indulgent one, as scores in the four sets of socialization outcomes among children and teenagers from indulgent families were always equal to, or even better than, the authoritative parenting style.
本文的目的是确定西班牙家庭的哪种养育方式与孩子的最佳成长结果相关。从西班牙随机抽取了1103名6至14岁孩子和青少年的家长作为样本，其中4７%为女性，他们报告了自己的育儿方式。根据家长的回答，家庭被分为四类（权威型、专制型、放任型或忽视型）中的一类。社会化结果包括6项人际关系质量指标、9项心理调适指标、7项个人能力指标和12项行为问题指标。结果表明，与专制型和忽视型养育方式相比，放任型和权威型养育方式与更好的成长结果相关。总体而言，我们的结果支持了这样一种观点，即在西班牙，最佳的养育方式是放任型，因为来自放任型家庭的儿童和青少年在四组社会化结果方面的得分总是等于或甚至优于权威型养育方式。
