| dc.description.abstract | The present study attempted to describe the effect of sex, parenting styles, and family factors on physical risk-taking behavior on children by analyzing self-report data collected from 93 mothers in the Midwest region of the United States. Previous research has shown that unintentional injury - closely related to physical risk-taking - is one of the leading causes of death, hospitalization, and permanent impairment in children and adolescents (Morrongiello, Zdxieborski, & Normand, 2010; Galligan, & Kuebli, 2011; Wells, Morrongiello, & Kane, 2012; Ablewhite, Kendrick, Watson, & Shaw, 2016). Results of this study indicated significant relationships between levels of authoritarian parenting styles and injury caused by physical risk-taking behavior for female children. Other analysis found indirect relationships between various parenting, child behavior, and family factors that can be used to explain physical risk-taking behavior in children. | |
