The purpose of this study is to capture a snapshot of the lives of Brazilian preadolescents and gain a deeper understanding of the variables that influence compliance with parental rules. This analysis draws from the Sao Paulo Legal Socialization Study, a cohort study ( N = 800; age = 11 years) from public and private schools. Descriptive statistics provide a perspective on normative Brazilian parenting practices and preadolescents’ perceptions of parental legitimacy across multiple domains. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed that procedural justice, global legitimacy, issue-specific legitimacy, and disciplinary techniques all significantly predicted compliance across issues and between preadolescents. Parents who used constructive disciplinary practices paired with procedural justice practices were more likely to be perceived as legitimate authorities and to have their preadolescent children comply with their rules. Our findings broaden the literature on constructive parenting practices in preadolescence, and allow for greater generalizability of current Western research to a diverse metropolitan setting in Brazil.

巴西人的父母的法定身份，程序正义和对父母规则的遵守

这项研究的目的是捕获巴西学龄前儿童的生活快照，并加深对影响遵守父母规定的变量的了解。该分析来自圣保罗法律社会化研究，这是一项来自公立和私立学校的队列研究（N = 800；年龄= 11岁）。描述性统计数据提供了巴西规范性的父母养育方式以及学龄前儿童对多个领域的父母合法性的看法。分层线性建模显示，程序正义，全球合法性，特定于问题的合法性和学科技术都可以显着预测问题之间以及青少年之间的依从性。父母将建设性的纪律做法与程序正义的做法相结合，更有可能被视为合法当局，并要求其青春期前的孩子遵守其规则。我们的发现拓宽了有关青春期前建设性父母养育方式的文献，并使当前的西方研究能够更广泛地推广到巴西不同的大都市环境。
