The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between parenting style and parental preferences for behavior management techniques in a Turkish population. This cross-sectional study was conducted for a three-month period among the parents and children who applied for treatment in a university clinic. Parenting style was determined using the parenting style dimension questionnaire, and parental dental anxiety (PDA) was rated with the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale. Behavior management technique (BMT) preferences were rated by the parents after a videotape presentation. Chi-square tests and likelihood ratios were used for statistical analysis, and the significance level was set at P<0.05. A total of 142 three- to 12-year-olds (mean age equals 6.83±2.71 years old) and their parents participated in the study. Most parents had an authoritative parenting style and preferred positive reinforcement. Parenting style and PDA were significantly associated with preferences for BMTs (P<0.05). Although the children with high-anxiety parents showed more negative behaviors and the children with low-anxiety parents behaved more positively, this difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition, PDA was not associated with parenting styles (P>0.05). Parenting style and parental dental anxiety should be considered in the selection of behavior guidance techniques.
本研究旨在调查土耳其人群中养育方式与父母对行为管理技巧偏好之间的关联。这项横断面研究在一所大学诊所申请治疗的父母和孩子中进行了三个月。使用养育方式维度问卷确定养育方式，并用改良牙科焦虑量表对父母的牙科焦虑（PDA）进行评分。在观看录像带后，父母对行为管理技巧（BMT）的偏好进行评分。采用卡方检验和似然比进行统计分析，显著性水平设定为P<0.05。共有142名3至12岁儿童（平均年龄为6.83±2.71岁）及其父母参与了该研究。大多数父母采用权威型养育方式，且更喜欢积极强化。养育方式和PDA与对BMT的偏好显著相关（P<0.05）。尽管高焦虑父母的孩子表现出更多负面行为，低焦虑父母的孩子表现更积极，但这种差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。此外，PDA与养育方式无关（P>0.05）。在选择行为指导技巧时，应考虑养育方式和父母的牙科焦虑。
