Effective Parenting Within an Integrative Framework of Emotional Availability and Domains-Of
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2020) Alsancak-Akbulut,C.; Atalar,D.S.; Metin-Orta,I.; 01. Atılım University
Considerable research has been done by developmental researchers to understand effective parenting, and a great deal of emphasis has been placed on the emotional aspect of the parent-child relationship. This chapter explores the nature of effective parenting by integrating the construct of emotional availability within a context-specific theoretical framework. In broader terms, emotional availability refers to parental sensitivity, non-intrusiveness, structuring, and non-hostility, as well as child's responsiveness and involvement (Biringen 2000). According to the domains-of-socialization approach (Grusec and Davidov 2010), parentchild interactions occur in five domains, which are protection, mutual reciprocity, guided learning, control, and group participation. Appropriate parenting practices are shaped in line with the child's emerging needs within the domain in which the child is situated (Grusec and Davidov 2010). The current chapter provides a comprehensive overview on theoretical and methodological links between emotional availability research and the main principles of the domains-of-socialization approach. In doing so, it contributes to a better understanding of the nature of emotional availability in the parent-child relationship. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Impact of Helicopter Parenting on Emerging Adult Child's Psychological Well-Being and Its Reflections on Work Life
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2020) Metin-Orta,I.; Miski-Aydin,E.; 01. Atılım University
The phenomenon of helicopter parenting refers to the overinvolvement of parents in their children's lives (LeMoyne and Buchanan 2011). Despite its recognition on popular press, little is known about its prevalance and consequences from an empirical perspective. In order to have a complete understanding of helicopter parenting, this chapter provides a detailed overview of what is known about helicopter parenting behavior, and discusses the recent literature with respect to its effects on the psychological well being of emerging adult child and its reflections on the child's work life. As parents recently shifted their hovering behaviors into the work lives of their adult children, this term has also received considerable attention from scholars and HR practitioners. The extant literature demonstrates that parental overinvolvement is associated with poor psychological functioning of the young adults, and scholars offer several strategies for employers in coping with challenging parental involvement in their children's workplace. This chapter also provides suggestions for practical implications and recommendations for prospective research. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
