Parenting behaviors (behaviors of parents directed to the child) were assigned to the parenting dimensions: (1) support, (2) authoritative control, (3) authoritarian control, (4) behavioral control — including active monitoring3, (5) psychological control, (6) general control — concepts that are too broad for classification
in a
specific kind of control, (7) general parenting — aspects that covered both support and control, (8) indirect parenting behavior — parental knowledge and child disclosure (see footnote 3), and (9) other parenting — all remaining parenting that did not
fit the other categories (e.g., fairness of
discipline, co-parenting).
