Abstract
Determinants of parental acceptance-rejection. Family socialization studies have paid little attention to the determinants of parental behavior. This study analyzes from an ecological model individual, family, and social determinants of parental acceptance and rejection. The sample consisted of 444 parents. Variables analized correspond with three ecological levels explaining parental behavior: individual system (psychopathological symptoms and child behavior problems), family system (family environment and intra-family sources of stress) and social system (extra-family sources of stress, community support and socioeconomic status). Results underlie the importance to take into account simultaneously variables at different ecological level in order to better explain parental behavior.
