    The Impact of Lebanese Middle Class Parental Practices on Youth Maladjustment
    (2011) Dagher Bassous, Rachel
    Based on results of previous western research, associations regarding three parental dimensions (parental psychological control, parental behavioral control, and parental support) and a measure of Anxiety/Depression and Delinquency were assessed in a sample of Lebanese middle class youth (N=214). All data were adolescent self-reports by way of school administered questionnaires, in convenient samples of two English schools. Bi-variate correlations, and linear regression were conducted to test for the hypotheses. Several associations were revealed between parenting dimensions and youth outcomes including: a positive relationship between paternal psychological control and anxiety/depression among youth; a negative relationship between parental behavioral control and delinquency; and a negative relationship between both paternal support and anxiety/depression and parental support and delinquency among youth. Results across gender and grade level are discussed further.
