Survey of prevention-relevant beliefs and efforts to enhance parenting skills among rural parents.
Spoth R.L. | Conroy S.M.
The first objective of this article is to summarize literature on selected variables that can influence parents' efforts to enhance their parenting skills, including participation in prevention-oriented education and skills-training programs. The second objective is to report the results of a survey of rural parents with preadolescents (N = 203) on prevention-relevant parenting beliefs and past parenting enhancement efforts, such as parent education program attendance. Descriptive analyses of these variables and their relationships to socioeconomic status and family composition are reported. Results regarding prevention-relevant parenting beliefs indicate relatively low levels of perceived susceptibility to adolescent problem behaviors and high levels of perceived parent efficacy in preventing adolescent problems. High levels of past parenting enhancement efforts also were reported. Little evidence of gender differences on the parenting belief and enhancement variables was found, but education, income, and family structure and composition variables were significantly associated with several key parenting belief and enhancement variables.
