Abstract
In the present study, role of perceived parenting styles and familial
factors in prediction of childhood behavior problems has been
studied. Sample included children of 3 to 5 grades (N = 635)
between age range 9 to 13 years (boys = 379) and (girls = 256)
from various schools of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Parental
Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) (Urdu version) by Babree (1997)
was used for measuring perceived parenting styles of children. The
assessment of childhood behaviour disorder was made via
Disruptive Behaviour Disorder (DBD) Rating scale (Urdu version)
by Loona and Kamal (In press). DBD rating scale is useful for the
assessment of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and
comorbidity of these disorders through parents and teachers ratings
in the school or home situation. Multiple linear regression
coefficients to predict behavioural disorders were computed on
paternal and maternal perceived parenting scores. Findings
indicated that maternal authoritative and authoritarian style proved
significant predictors for childhood behaviour disorders. Whereas,
paternal authoritative and permissive parenting style proved non
significant predictor for childhood behaviour disorders
