Abstract

Research suggests the differences between parenting boys and girls related to externalising behaviour problems. Self-reported measures were used on a sample of 507 Belgrade secondary school students (42.1% male) to examine the moderating effect of gender on the relationship of parental monitoring (the Scale of Parental Monitoring), parental attachment (the Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment, IPPA), and parental practice (the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire) with externalising problems (aggressive and rule-breaking behaviour) (ASEBA, YSR). The research results show gender differences in rule-breaking behaviour, externalising problems and some parenting variables. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant predictors of aggressive behaviour, rule-breaking behaviour and externalising problems, whereby poor monitoring displayed the strongest relations with all of the criteria. The moderating effect of gender was identified in explaining the links between communication with the mother, positive parenting and trust in the father with rule-breaking behaviour. The research results were discussed in the context of the protective relationship in the father-son and mother-daughter dyads for rule-breaking behaviour. The practical implications of differentiation between the relevance of mothers’ and fathers’ parenting for adolescent adjustment in terms of gender are provided.<br />Istraživanja ukazuju da su razlike u odgoju dječaka i djevojčica povezani s eksternalizacijom problema u ponašanju. Samoprijavljene mjere koristile su se na uzorku od 507 beogradskih učenika srednjih škola (42,1% dječaka) kako bi se istražili moderacijski učinci roda na odnos između roditeljskog nadzora (Skala roditeljskog nadzora), privrženost roditeljima (Inventar privrženosti roditeljima i vršnjacima) i roditeljske prakse (Upitnik roditeljstva iz Alabame) i problema eksternalizacije (agresivno ponašanje i kršenje pravila). Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na rodne razlike u kršenju pravila, eksternalizaciji problema i nekim varijablama roditeljstva. Analize hijerarhijske regresije otkrivaju značajne pokazatelje agresivnog ponašanja, kršenja pravila i eksternaliziranja problema, dok slab nadzor ima najveću povezanost sa svim kriterijima. Moderacijski učinak roda identificiran je u pojašnjenju veza između komunikacije s majkom, pozitivnog roditeljstva i povjerenja u oca s kršenjem pravila. Rezultati istraživanja raspravljaju se u kontekstu zaštitničkog roditeljstva u dijadama otac-sin i majka-kći za kršenje pravila. Navode se praktične implikacije razlikovanja značaja roditeljstva majki i očeva za prilagodbu adolescenata u pogledu roda.
