Parenting Style and Parent-Adolescent Religious Value Consensus

Gary A. Luft

Gwendolyn T. Sorell

Texas Tech University

Three dimensions of parenting are examined as they relate to value consensus between late adolescents and their parents. A sample of 222 college students completed a questionnaire that assessed perceptions of their parents' childrearing practices in terms of control, nurturance, and communication. The parents and students completed a series of items related to religious values or beliefs. It was found that for father-adolescent dyads, father control and nurturance interacted in relation to value consensus. A parenting style characterized as low in control and low in nurturance was associated with significantly less creedal assent and devotionalism consensus than were other styles of parenting. For mother-adolescent dyads, a three-way interaction between mother control, nurturance, and gender of adolescent was found in relation to religious relativism value consensus, and an interaction between mother control and communication was marginally related to creedal assent and devotionalism value consensus. A high control-high nurturance parenting style was associated with greater creedal assent and devotionalism value consensus than were other styles of parenting. A main effect for gender of adolescent was found in relation to devotionalism value consensus. Mothers had greater agreement with their daughters than with their sons.
