Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of protective factors on parenting styles, based on Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological theory. One-hundred-and-eighty-three mothers living in Hermo- sillo, Sonora, Mexico, with child abuse history, accepted to participate in the research. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results showed that K factor modulates the effect of protective factors. Protective and risk factors were found in the exosistem, microsistem and ontosistem. Protective factor predicted parenting styles, buffering the effects of risk factors like neighborhood insecurity, partner violence, and depression.
