This study examines the bidirectional relationship between adolescents' perceptions of their parents' parenting styles and the development of a virtuous intellectual character. A longitudinal panel study was conducted, which involved annual evaluations of a sample of 383 adolescents from secondary schools in urban areas of Buenos Aires, Argentina. At Time 1, 57% of the participants were girls, 43% were boys, and one identified as nonbinary. At Time 2, 58% of the participants were girls, and 42% were boys. The average age of the participants was 12.63 years (SD = 0.69) at Time 1 and 13.42 years (SD = 0.59) at Time 2. This study used the Argentine Parenting Styles Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Parental Challenge Questionnaire, and the Virtuous Intellectual Character Scale. Cross-lagged panel analyses revealed a bidirectional relationship between an accepting parenting style and a virtuous intellectual character, as well as a unidirectional effect of parental challenge, which was identified as a predictor of a virtuous intellectual character. Parents who adopt a positive parenting style are likely to promote a virtuous intellectual character among adolescents, thus making the latter more curious, autonomous in terms of their thinking, attentive in their learning, detail-oriented in their studies, and open-minded with respect to others' perspectives. Moreover, dysfunctional parenting styles, such as pathological control and extreme autonomy, decrease open-mindedness among adolescents. These results reflect the important role that parents play in the development of intellectual virtues among adolescents.
本研究考察了青少年对父母教养方式的认知与良好智力品质发展之间的双向关系。开展了一项纵向面板研究，对来自阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯市区中学的383名青少年样本进行年度评估。在时间1，57%的参与者为女孩，43%为男孩，1人认定为非二元性别。在时间2，58%的参与者为女孩，42%为男孩。参与者在时间1的平均年龄为12.63岁（标准差=0.69），在时间2的平均年龄为13.42岁（标准差=0.59）。本研究使用了阿根廷青少年教养方式问卷、父母挑战问卷和良好智力品质量表。交叉滞后面板分析揭示了接纳型教养方式与良好智力品质之间的双向关系，以及父母挑战的单向效应，父母挑战被确定为良好智力品质的一个预测因素。采用积极教养方式的父母可能会在青少年中培养良好的智力品质，从而使青少年更具好奇心、思维更自主、学习更专注、学习更注重细节且对他人观点更开放。此外，功能失调的教养方式，如病态控制和极端自主，会降低青少年的开放性。这些结果反映了父母在青少年智力美德发展中所起的重要作用。
