MANJARRES-CARRIZALEZ, Dora  and  HEDERICH-MARTINEZ, Christian. Parental Styles in Disability: Examination of the empirical evidence on a model. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.3, pp.187-200. ISSN 0120-0534.  https://doi.org/10.14349/rlp.2018.v50.n3.6.

The objective of the study was to define and analyze, based on the empirical evidence, a model that describes the processes of parenting of people with disabilities -MEPD- Model of Parental Styles in Disability (Manjarrés 2012), and to identify the configuration of parental styles Present in a sample of 195 cases distributed in four departments of Colombia (Santander, Bolívar, Cundinamarca and Antioquia). The participants were: parents (14), mothers (120), children with disabilities (35), siblings (14) and members of the extended family (12), who reported on the processes of parenting the person with disabilities, focusing their attention in the actions carried out by who (s) exercise (s) the parental function. It is an analysis through two successive analysis methods: multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis. The results allowed us to examine, refine, and operationally define the structural framework of the model, identify the important factor axes in the configuration of the parental style (trust in the child's capacity, control and affect) and characterize the parental styles present in the Raising people with disabilities, called impulsive-reflexive, dominator-inflexible, dominated-complacent and dominated-distant.
