| Sumario: | Partial results from a descriptive study performed on 214 adolescent students from the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, are presented herein. They were assessed by means of a self-administrable questionnaire involving Perception about Parenting Styles and Parental Inconsistency, based on Controlling and Inconsistent parenting scale. Significant correlations in the levels of Acceptance/forgiveness/controlling/ punishment(r=.655**) amongst the individuals’ parents, as well as with the temporal consistency of such behavior (r=.785**), were verified. Controlling/ punishment carried out by fathers was significantly higher when both parents lived together, and significantly lower when they were separated or divorced. The educational level of the parents has an influence on the consistency of their reactions to the adolescents´ undesirablebehavior: consistency is significantly lower in parents with incomplete or complete elementary education compared with those who reached high school or college levels, where consistency is significantly higher. Where adolescents recognize they possess a higher economic status, the perception of consistency is significantly higher in each parent. |
