Abstract

SOUZA, Wayson Maturana de; ROCHA, Luiz Fellipe Dias da; CARVALHO, Rafael Vera Cruz de  and  FIORAVANTI, Ana Carolina Monnerat. Relations between Parenting and Executive Functions: A Systematic Review. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.277-297. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.59386.

This systematic review investigated the scientific production regarding the relationship between parenting practices and executive functions of children with typical development from zero to 13 years old. Searches were made on Google Scholar, PsycNET, PubMed and SciELO, considering articles published between 2008 and 2018, in Portuguese, English or Spanish. A total of 668 files were found and, after the screening, eligibility and selection steps, 37 papers were included. The general aspects of the selected articles and their results were analyzed. Most studies were conducted in the USA and in European countries, with children from zero to six years old. To assess the variables of interest, different methods were used, such as tasks, tests, scales and interviews. The investigated parenting practices were categorized into: a) general parenting constructs, b) stimulating parenting, c) affective parental care, and d) other parenting behaviors. The results of the articles indicated a relationship between different parenting practices and the executive functions of children, suggesting the influence of parenting on executive development during childhood. Orientations for future studies are presented.

Keywords : parent child relations; family relations; child development; mental functions; neuropsychology.
