Abstract

The purpose of this work was to investigate the relationship between paternal and maternal parenting styles and the occurrence of alexithymia in adults. In this cross-sectional empirical study 100 adults aged 19-60 participated, who were a convenience sample and completed online questionnaires. Based on the results, among other things, a positive correlation is observed between authoritarian style and high alexithymia, as well as between permissive style and high alexithymia. Conversely, a negative correlation is noted between authoritative style and high alexithymia. However, there are other factors involved, such as the educational level, age and gender of the participants themselves. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of the value of maternal and paternal parenting styles as they influence their children's emotional competence even into adulthood. Consequently, parents have to embrace the appropriate attitude and necessary practices in order to limit the possibility of developing a low level of emotional competence and externalisation alexithymia even after their children’s adulthood.
