Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maccoby and Martin's four parenting styles are based on two dimensions: responsiveness and demandingness. Responsiveness refers to a parent's warmth, sensitivity, and supportiveness towards their child, while demandingness refers to a parent's expectations for their child's behavior and their level of control over their child's actions. The four parenting styles are: authoritative (high responsiveness, high demandingness), authoritarian (low responsiveness, high demandingness), permissive (high responsiveness, low demandingness), and uninvolved (low responsiveness, low demandingness).
