Resumo(s)
The healthy development of children and young
people is strongly associated with the relationship that they
establish with parents and the functioning of their family as
a whole, with a special focus on the affective relationship
between parents and children. One aspect that has more
influence on the well-being and quality of life of children is
the affective relationship and family dynamics, so, to
deepen knowledge in this area, our study aims to understand
and characterize the role of parents’ emotional support
in their children’s quality of life. It is also intended to
understand this relationship by taking into account the
family functioning style. The sample included 1757 parents
of children aged 6 to 16 years, 77.3% female (n = 1359)
and 22.7% male (n = 398), aged between 20 and 80 years
(M = 41.61 and SD = 5.71). We used a sociodemographic
questionnaire and other instruments in order to measure
parental styles, family functioning style, and parents’ perception
of the children’s quality of life. Results show that
parenting styles, namely, emotional support, and family
functioning are influenced by parents’ gender and age.
Parental emotional support is better explained by the positive
association with control attempt, family cohesion and
commitment, and parent’s perception of quality of life, and
negative associated to gender (male), rejection and coping
strategies. Implications for research, prevention, and psychological
intervention in relation to parental skills and
family functioning are presented in order to promote children
quality of life and health development.
