Perkaitan Antara Faktor Sosioekonomi dan Kualiti Tingkahlaku Keibubapaan Dalam Keluarga Berisiko
Abstract
This study aims to identify the association between socioeconomic factors (mother’s age and education, the family’s monthly income and numbers of children) and parenting behavior quality in risky family. As around 201 numbers of mothers who have children aged 11 years and poor condition are selected as respondent of this study. These respondents were interviewed face-to-faced using survey forms. Parenting behavior quality is measured using the supportive parenting scales. The findings show that, highly educated mothers with less children practice positive parenting behavior. This study gives the implication that the mother's education and number of children influence parenting behavior in risky family.

Seramai 201 orang ibu yang mempunyai anak berumur 11 tahun dan miskin dipilih sebagai responden kajian. Responden telah ditemubual secara bersemuka dengan menggunakan borang soal selidik. Kualiti tingkahlaku keibubapaan telah diukur menggunakan skala Supportive Parenting. Hasil kajian mendapati ibu yang berpendidikan
tinggi dan mempunyai bilangan anak yang tidak ramai mengamalkan tingkahlaku keibubapaan yang positif. Kajian ini memberi implikasi bahawa pendidikan ibu dan bilangan anak mempengaruhi tingkahlaku keibubapaan dalam keluarga berisiko.
