20.500.12556/DKUM-93893 Effects of parenting styles on academic achievement the moderating role of a country’s economic development Although numerous studies have examined the relationship between parenting styles and academic achievement in different socio-cultural contexts, the moderating role of specific macro contextual characteristics remains understudied. This cross-national study examined the effects of three parenting styles on two aspects of academic achievement (self-reported average grade and educational attainment) in a sample of adolescents and young adults from ten Southeast European countries (N = 10,909) and tested whether the associations were moderated by economic development as an indicator of socio-cultural context. Results indicated that country-level authoritative parenting style was positively associated with both academic outcomes, while authoritarian and permissive parenting styles were negatively associated (authoritarian with both outcomes, permissive only with educational attainment). Furthermore, the country’s higher economic development increased the positive impact by authoritative parenting and decreased the negative impact by authoritarian parenting style on educational attainment. Study results provide evidence of the importance of contextual characteristics in which parenting takes place, especially for adolescents’ and young adults’ long-term educational outcomes. The results are dis cussed in terms of importance of general value orientations and life goals for the varying effects of parenting styles on educational attainment. academic achievements parenting styles Southeast Europe cross-national youth učni uspeh vzgojni stili Jugovzhodna Evropa mladi ekonomski razvoj true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-07-25 03:12:17 2025-08-21 14:30:33 2025-08-22 03:37:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-12 št. članka 108429 Letn. 176 Sep. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-02-12 2025-06-25 2025-06-25 316.334:37.015.3 243753219 10.1016/j.childyouth.2025.108429 0190-7409 RAZ_Cupar_Tina_2025.pdf RAZ_Cupar_Tina_2025.pdf 1 601508F5DAEE65E7EC38C4D03BFFDB33 75ba2cd65a0adabe51fa21acc89c635178aad3ba99aa437b65d5c504817406a8 c685ac1e-7e8a-11f0-9610-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195849 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.childyouth.2025.108429 0 d0cb6b4a-7e8a-11f0-9610-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195850 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
