Abstract

CALLEJA, Nazira; ALVAREZ SEVILLA, Anayanci; CONTRERAS DUENAS, Ricardo  and  NARES TORRES, Paola. Parenting Styles of Father and Mother as Predictors of Adolescents' Smoking Behavior. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.7-18. ISSN 1657-8961.

Objective. Research on adolescent tobacco use has shown the significant influence of family variables, particularly, parenting style. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of each component of fathers' and mothers' parenting styles on smoking susceptibility, cigarette experimentation and the current tobacco use of boys and girls. Method. A non-probabilistic sample of 253 adolescent public high school students in Mexico City answered a demographic questionnaire and the Steinberg's Parenting Styles Scale and Tobacco Susceptibility Scale. Results. Multiple regression analyses made it apparent that the father's care is the main predictor of susceptibility and experimentation in boys, and supervision and care from the mother are the components that explained most variance for girls. Conclusion. Each of the components of the parenting styles of fathers and mothers differently affects the smoking behavior of boys and girls.

Keywords : Tobacco; smoking; parenting style; adolescents; gender.
