SOLIS-CAMARA, Pedro; CUEVAS, Yolanda Medina  y  ROMERO, Marysela Díaz. Relationships between parenting and risk or protective factors, before and after a parenting intervention. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.1, pp.75-87. ISSN 0718-0446.

The objectives of this study were to identify the relationships between parenting and risk factors and protective factors that exert influence on children's socialization process, and to analyze changes in the relationships as are promoted by a programme for parents of young children. The dimensions fostered by the chosen intervention are fair expectations, and discipline and nurturing practices; factors chosen were children pro social behaviors, psycho-social development, behavior problems, as well as anger-aggression and stress from parents. Parents of young children (3 to 5 yrs. old) with behavior problems were assigned to an experimental group (n = 30) and parents of children without behavior problems were assigned to a control group (n = 30). Results support previous research indicating the importance of early interventions for treatment of behavior problems. Moreover, results allowed the identification of parents' expectations and discipline practices as two components related to children pro social behaviors, psycho-social development, behavior problems, as well as anger-aggression and stress from parents. Results are discussed in terms of present efforts for identifying which factors may be successfully modified, and demonstrate the benefits of specific parenting dimensions which may be adopted by other parenting programs.
