Description
Summary:Regardless of the parent education level or his/her gender, implicit assumptions about aggressiveness strongly affect the perception of child's behavior. The results also suggest that the child gender has an influence on desired outcomes of upbringing. Pearson's chi-squared test was used to analyze the correlation between gender and education. No significant correlation was found. Depending on the child's gender, significant deviations were detected on one of the indicators: the desired effects of parenting. The research results imply significant differences in the perception and experience of aggressive behavior depending on whether the observed child is one's own child or not, confirming the initial hypothesis. Parents have a significantly higher level of tolerance for the aggressiveness of their own child than for other people's children.
