Can different parenting styles affect decision making when it comes to social pressure

Decision making is a crucial tool that no one can avoid. From government to families, to individual, each one of us do take very decision whether important or insignificant. Does decision making depend on age? It seems our society accept that decision depends on age. Although everybody can make and should be allowed to make decisions, but at a certain age most adolescent are not trusted to make very important decisions. The ability for one to make quick-concise decisions especially when under pressure is very important. Unfortunately most adolescents are almost always under pressure from society to make decision whether they have the ability to make the decision or not. This is clearly seen when it comes to voting, alcohol, accommodation, just to mention a few. If age is tied to when adolescents can make decisions, can they be trusted to make very important automatically when they get to that age. This is when adults are to be involved in adolescent developing the skill of make decision that will help rescue them from the pressure that comes the society.

According to Brian C. Patridge, parents’ involvement in the decision making of adolescent is based on the emotional involvement as well as the inability to see long term consequences with the decision they make. He also states that the burden that parents have as involving or making their children make better decisions in the future but imitating their style of decision making also plays a huge role on why parents are involved the decision making of adolescents. This means parents are involved because they do believe adolescents might not have yet developed ability to separate impulsivity. More research will done to establish the reason parent will or will not want to be involved the decision making of adolescents.

Parents’ involvement in a decision making of adolescents comes with its own controversies. Such a s; being a parent doesn’t necessarily mean one has to master the act making the right decision because everyone has at a point made terrible decisions. Making decisions is quite different from the right decision. Nathan fox, a participant in a research concerning how parenting affects neural response, states that “different parenting styles orchestrates a range of negative results associated with behavioral inhibition" (Fox, 564). This means that the parenting style used by parents has a big role on the social interaction software individuals which includes decision making.

Also, parenting style can cause social redrawal which can lead to socioemotional difficulties. A research made on social withdrawal and parenting style outlined that “parenting of children who are withdrawn from society, mostly have parents that have tendency to using parenting styles that are bit harsh, oversoliticitous combined with overprotection.

In order to really acquire a substantial information on how parenting style affects adolescent in decision making, a thorough research which will involve newspapers, journals, books a nod probably personal interview with qualified personals will be needed. Also, data will be collected and compared to acquire how different parenting styles affect individuals.
