Name Baumrind's four parenting styles and one typical outcome for a child raised by an authoritative parent.

• A. Authoritative, authoritarian, permissive (indulgent), and neglectful; authoritarian parenting usually predicts social anxiety.
• B. Authoritarian, indulgent, detached, and permissive; authoritarian parenting usually predicts independence.
• C. Democratic, strict, lenient, and indifferent; democratic parenting usually predicts rebelliousness.
• D. Authoritative, authoritarian, permissive (indulgent), and neglectful; authoritative parenting usually predicts high achievement, social competence, and self-regulation.

Answer: (D)

Baumrind's framing of parenting styles and the typical outcome of authoritative parenting. She identified four styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive (indulgent), and neglectful (uninvolved). An authoritative parent combines warmth and support with clear limits and reasonable expectations, explaining rules and encouraging autonomy while maintaining consistent discipline. This balance tends to foster self-regulation, social competence, and strong academic or achievement-oriented behavior in children. Therefore, the option that lists those four styles and notes that authoritative parenting usually predicts high achievement, social competence, and self-regulation best captures the well-supported outcomes associated with this style. The other options mix styles not part of Baumrind’s framework or assign outcomes that don’t align with the typical authoritative pattern.
