Studies about the association between parental rearing styles and self-criticism/self-compassion focus in adult´s perception about their parent´s rearing styles, their own levels of self-criticism/self-compassion and psychopathology (possibly associated with that styles). Our objectives were to: evaluate parent´s perception about their own parental rearing styles and levels of self-criticism/self-compassion; explore associations between these variables and between these variables and sociodemographic variables.
114 parent´s (women = 71.9%; mean age = 41.3/SD = 6.29) answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the EMBU-PARENTS, the Forms of Self-Criticizing and Reassuring Scale/FSCRS and the Self-Compassion Scale/SELFCS.
There were no differences, by gender, regarding rearing parental styles and self-criticism dimensions. Women and parent´s with a higher level of education presented higher levels of Human Condition(SELFCS). Married parent´s presented higher levels of Emotional Support. Parent´s with a lower level of education presented higher levels of Control. Inadequate self correlated positively with Rejection and Control; Hated self with Rejection; Reassuring self with Emotional Support. Warmth – Comprehension, Human Condition and Mindfulness correlated positively with Emotional Support; Over identification and Isolation with Rejection and Control.
The results found regarding parent´s perception about their parental rearing styles, their levels of self-criticism/self-compassion show this perception is similar to adult´s perception about their parents rearing styles and levels of self-criticism/self-compassion. We can extrapolate, although in a cross-sectional study, that parent´s parental rearing styles and their levels of self-criticism/self-compassion (influenced by the same variables on their own parents) have impact in the levels of these same variables in their children.
