The Relationship of the Perceived Child-rearing Methods with the Inconsistent Primary Schemas and Religious Orientation

This research seeks to investigate the relationship of perceived child-rearing methods with the inconsistent primary schemas and religious orientation. To this end, 300 second and third-year students were selected from a high school for girls through a category cluster-sampling method and were asked to complete questionnaires on Schaefer's parent behavioral dimensions, short form of Young's first inconsistent schemas and Allport's religious orientation. Multiple Pearson and regression's statistical correlation coefficient were used for analyzing the data. The results show that the method of child-rearing with love dominating dimension is a meaningful predictor of the lower levels of inconsistent primary schemas of emotional deprivation, social isolation, alienation, deficiency, shame, dependency, inadequacy, unability to develop oneself, being involved, submission, emotional dissuasion, intransigently criteria, excessive fault-finding and extreme care, inadequate self-discipline, external religious orientation and higher degrees of internal religious orientations. The results also show that the method of child-rearing with control dominating dimension is a meaningful predictor of the lower levels of inconsistent primary schemas of emotional deprivation, distrust, illtreatment, deficiency, shame, obedience and self-sacrifice.
