ABSTRACT

The present meta-analysis integrates the results of studies on associations of parenting styles with moral reasoning. The systematic search in electronic databases identified 23 studies that were included in this random-effects meta-analysis. We found a statistically significant, but small positive, concurrent association of authoritative parenting with higher moral reasoning, while the reverse was found for authoritarian parenting. No significant associations were found for permissive parenting, and numbers of studies were too small for identifying significant associations of neglectful parenting with moral reasoning, as well as cross-lagged effects of parenting styles on longitudinal change in moral reasoning. The size of the associations varied, in part, by publication status, educational status, and quality of assessing moral reasoning. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

摘要

本荟萃分析整合了关于教养方式与道德推理之间关联的研究结果。电子数据库中的系统搜索确定了 23 项研究，这些研究包括在该随机效应荟萃分析中。我们发现权威教养与更高道德推理之间存在统计显着但小的正相关，而专制教养则相反。没有发现宽容养育与宽容养育之间存在显着关联，而且研究数量太少，无法确定疏忽养育与道德推理之间的显着关联，以及养育方式对道德推理纵向变化的交叉滞后效应。协会的规模在一定程度上因出版状况、教育状况和评估道德推理的质量而异。
