Ensure that you understand the difference between research and other types of articles, you are to find a research article focused on parenting. I suggest you use the library or google scholar to do this search. Upload the research article you chose to the Canvas Assignment “Article Reviewed.” Upload the word documents of your summary about the article here under this assignment. Remember that a summary is your own words. Plagiarism will be checked, so do not copy sentences word for word!
Below are some helpful pointers as to how you determine if the article is a research article or not. After you have made the determination that it is I would like you to provide a brief summary of each of the following sections of the paper: Introduction (i.e., tell me what the problem is that they are studying and why it is important), Methods (i.e., tell me who participated and what type of participation was included…surveys, interviews, evaluations), and Discussion (i.e., what do their results lend to the literature?; what are the recommendations?). In the information below you will see what each section includes. I am not asking that you report about the results as I am not sure that all of you have had a statistics course, but you should report on all of the others.

Abstract
Although parenting styles constitute a well-known concept in parenting research, two issues have largely been overlooked in
existing studies. In particular, the psychological control dimension has rarely been explicitly modelled and there is limited insight
into joint parenting styles that simultaneously characterize maternal and paternal practices and their impact on child
development. Using data from a sample of 600 Flemish families raising an 8-to-10 year old child, we identi?ed naturally
occurring joint parenting styles. A cluster analysis based on two parenting dimensions (parental support and behavioral control)
revealed four congruent parenting styles: an authoritative, positive authoritative, authoritarian and uninvolved parenting style. A
subsequent cluster analysis comprising three parenting dimensions (parental support, behavioral and psychological control)
yielded similar cluster pro?les for the congruent (positive) authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles, while the fourth
parenting style was relabeled as a congruent intrusive parenting style. ANOVAs demonstrated that having (positive) authoritative
parents associated with the most favorable outcomes, while having authoritarian parents coincided with the least favorable
outcomes. Although less pronounced than for the authoritarian style, having intrusive parents also associated with poorer child
outcomes. Results demonstrated that accounting for parental psychological control did not yield additional parenting styles, but
enhanced our understanding of the pattern among the three parenting dimensions within each parenting style and their
association with child outcomes. More similarities than dissimilarities in the parenting of both parents emerged, although adding
psychological control slightly enlarged the differences between the scores of mothers and fathers.
