"Since parents rearing styles may affect adolescents’ behavior andsocialization, it is relevant to know how some psychological variables are related toparent rearing styles. This study is aimed to explore this point by analysing altogetherparents’ rearing styles (EMBU-P), social values (social power, order, benevolence, andconservatism-liberalism), Big-five personality traits, and marital satisfaction (consensus,affection, satisfaction, and cohesion) in parents of adolescents. This is a prospectivestudy based in correlational analysis method. It was found that rearing styles definedby warmth and acceptance are related to a responsible and emotionally stable personalityprofile, high marital satisfaction, and the preference for prosocial values. On the contrary,overprotected and favouring rearing styles are related to low friendliness, low emotionalstability and low openness, poor marital adjustment with a lack of cohesion, and socialvalues defined by a lack of benevolence, and the preference for social power."
