It was the purpose of this study to examine the relation of parental child-rearing styles, as reported (inventory) by juvenile criminals, and the neuroticism and hostility of juvenile criminals (sample of 171 subjects). Factor analysis of inventory data resulted in the isolation of three parental child-rearing styles, labeled affection-support, rejection-hostility and control-strictness. The child-rearing styles of rejection-hostility and control-strictness were found to be significantly correlated with four factors of hostility (set of inventory scales), aggressive tension (anger, rage), reactive hostility, guilt proneness, suppression of hostility, and with two questionnaire measures of neuroticism. |
