Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that adolescents with authoritative parents, who are warm, supportive, and yet still set clear and consistent limits, are less involved in risk behaviors than adolescents with other types of parents. Indulgent parents are warm and supportive but are permissive with few limits, which can lead to more risk-taking behaviors. Indifferent parents are uninvolved and disengaged, leading to a lack of guidance and support and potentially increasing the likelihood of risk behaviors. Authoritarian parents are strict and controlling, which can lead to rebellion and increased risk behaviors in adolescence.
