Abstract: (10 Views) |
It is now widely accepted among family specialists that parenting is profoundly influenced by cultural contexts. Most parenting theories emphasize the critical role of socio-cultural factors in child-rearing practices. Given the importance of this issue, the present study aimed to qualitatively analyze desirable parenting styles within Iranian families. This qualitative study employed a latent content analysis method conducted in 2023. The target population consisted of 7 psychologists, 6 religious experts, and 8 Iranian parents (N=21). Purposive sampling was utilized, and semi-structured interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was reached. Data analysis led to the identification of 6 main categories and 15 subcategories. The main categories include: parenting based on intimacy and understanding, affection, companionship and support, knowledge of child development, maintaining a consistent routine, and spiritual education. The findings of this study provide a suitable framework for addressing existing cultural gaps in parenting from the perspectives of both Iranian specialists and families.
