Abstract

This research is a comparative study to determine differences in perceptions of male and female students regarding Father’s Positive Parenting and Mother’s Positive Parenting. Positive parenting was measured using a questionnaire consisting of 75 items. Data collection was carried out on 93 students in junior high schools in Bandung, consisting of 33 male students and 60 female students. The data obtained were calculated using an independent sample t-test. The results of data processing showed that there were significant differences in male and female students in perceiving father’s positive parenting (Mean Male = 2.1290; Mean Female = 2.3405; t = -2.561; p = 0.012). Likewise, the results of data processing showed that there were significant differences in male and female students in perceiving mother’s positive parenting (Mean male = 2.3969; Mean female = 2.6107; t = -3.138; p = 0.002). It seems that nowadays, parents are needed to be directly involved and more aware of their adolescent’s needs and expectations in many things whether formally (educational matters) or informally (interpersonal matters), which means that parents need to always develop themselves by actively seeking information about the things that come to be “the world” for their adolescents. Boundaries or rules set for girls and boys very much needed to be given in different ways. Girls can interpret parental boundaries as a form of attention and affection, while boys tend to interpret them as a form of restrictions, and for sure boundaries set for boys need to be given through explanations and discussion until they understand the meaning of the boundaries itself.
