• quick to develop, quick to decay
• LUDUS -- playful love
• love as a game
• passion for the game, not the partner
• STORGE -- companionate love
• based on long-term friendship
• stable and trusting, but lacks dramatic passion

• MANIA -- obsessive love
• intense mental preoccupation, but little
  satisfaction
• manic lover is likely to be possessive
• PRAGMA -- realistic love
• rational and practical
• based on evaluation of "marketability"

  chosen

Parenting Styles

• Diana Baumrind (1980) notes 3 major types of
  parenting or patterns of discipline
• AUTHORITARIAN PARENTS
• PERMISSIVE PARENTS
• AUTHORITATIVE PARENTS

22
(Diana Baumrinds 3 major types of parenting or
patterns of discipline, continued)

• 1) AUTHORITARIAN PARENTS are controlling,
  punitive, rigid, and cold, and whose word is law
  they value strict, unquestioning obedience from
  their children and do not tolerate expressions of
  disagreement.

23
(Diana Baumrinds 3 major types of parenting or
patterns of discipline, continued)

• 2) PERMISSIVE PARENTS provide lax and
  inconsistent feedback and require little of their
  children.
• 2 types of permissive parents
• ? Permissive-indifferent parents are usually
  uninvolved in their children's lives.
• Their children tend to be dependent and moody.
• Their children also tend to have low social
  skills and low self-control

24
(2 types of permissive parents, continued)

• ? Permissive-indulgent parents are more involved
  with their children, but they place little or no
  limits or control on their behavior.
• Their children typically show low control and low
  social skills.
• However, these children tend to feel that they
  are especially privileged.

25
(Diana Baumrinds 3 major types of parenting or
patterns of discipline, continued)

• 3) AUTHORITATIVE PARENTS are firm, setting clear
  and consistent limits, but try to reason with
  their children giving explanations for why they
  should behave in a particular way.

26
(Baumrinds 3 major types of parenting continued)

• Children of authoritative parents tend to fare
  best they are independent, friendly with their
  peers, self-assertive, and cooperative parents
  are not always consistent in their parenting or
  discipline styles.
