What negative parenting patterns are prevalent in your life?

Upbringing is a long process of adult influence on their child, which can both develop positive character traits, reveal their creative potential, etc., and vice versa, lay neurotic character traits that will have a negative impact on the psyche of the child throughout their adult life.

Teachers understand "the purposeful impact of an adult on the child in order to manage the process of development of their personality" under upbringing. Hence different types of upbringing are distinguished: moral, physical, labor, mental, aesthetic, etc.

Psychologists of different directions interpret the process of upbringing differently. Thus, for some, education is a manipulative influence with the purpose of forming a child's behavior. For others, it is the discovery and disclosure of those tasks and abilities that are naturally inherent in the child. For others it is just a process of modeling and imitation of socially approved adult behavior. But one way or another, most groups (except psychoanalysis) believe that education has a positive character. Nevertheless, researchers in the field of health psychology and educational psychology also distinguish negative models of upbringing. The implementation of negative models of upbringing is understood as a process that forms destructive patterns of behavior. The child realizes these patterns not immediately, but as an adult, they will experience difficulties in interpersonal relationships and personal self-actualization. Negative patterns of upbringing include rivalry, rejection, deprivation, hyper-parenting, overcontrol, and punishment.

This test will allow you to determine which of the 6 models you dominate, so that you can understand the root of your psychological problems that you face in adulthood. This test is based on Dr. Lewis' questionnaire published in Louis, J.P., Wood, A.M., & Lockwood, G. (2018).

There will be a total of 42 questions on the test. Try not to think about one answer for a long time. There are no right or wrong answers here.
