Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je opisati pojam helikopter roditeljstva te, na temelju dostupne literature, utvrditi povezanost tzv. „helikopter“ roditeljstva s različitim problemima u ponašanju studenata. Helikopter roditeljstvo ne pripada nijednom roditeljskom stilu, već je opisano kao roditeljstvo koje je visoko na dimenziji topline/podrške i visoko na dimenziji bihevioralne kontrole, ali nisko na dimenziji potpore autonomiji. U dosad provedenim istraživanjima pronađena je povezanost između tzv. „helikopter“ roditeljstva i psihološke neprilagođenosti studenata uključujući simptome depresije, anksioznosti i niske razine zadovoljstva životom (Hong i Cui, 2020). Nadalje, „helikopter“ roditeljstvo je povezano s konzumacijom alkohola i marihuane kod studenata, no ova povezanost izostaje kod studenata iz obitelji s niskim socioekonomskim statusom (McGinleya, 2020). Roditeljska uključenost može biti poticaj koji studenti trebaju kako bi izgradili vlastite sposobnosti i samopouzdanje, ali s druge strane, prevelika uključenost i prezaštitničko ponašanje roditelja mogu dovesti do toga da student nije u stanju samostalno funkcionirati. U skladu s tim, istraživanja pokazuju da je niža razina akademskog uspjeha i lošija socijalna prilagodba na fakultetu povezana s „helikopter“ roditeljstvom i to posredno, putem niže samo-učinkovitosti (Darlow i sur, 2017). Zbog potencijalno nepovoljnog utjecaja „helikopter“ roditeljstva, pojedini fakulteti su počeli uvoditi priručnike kako bi optimizirali roditeljsku uključenost.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to describe the term "helicopter" parenting and, based on the available literature, to determine the correlation of the so-called "helicopter" parenting with various problems in student behavior. Helicopter parenting does not belong to any parenting style, it is described as parenting that is high on the warmth/support dimension and high on the behavioral control dimension, but low on the autonomy support dimension. In the research conducted so far, a correlation has been found between the so-called “helicopter” parenting and psychological maladaptation of students including symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low levels of life satisfaction (Hong and Cui, 2020). Furthermore, “helicopter” parenting is associated with alcohol and marijuana consumption among students, but this association is absent among students from families with low socioeconomic status (McGinley, 2020). Parental involvement may be an incentive that students need to build their own abilities and self-confidence, but on the other hand, excessive parental involvement and overprotective behavior can lead to a student not being able to function independently. Accordingly, research shows that lower levels of academic achievement and poorer social adjustment in college are associated with “helicopter” parenting, indirectly, through lower self-efficacy (Darlow et al, 2017). Due to the potentially adverse impact of “helicopter” parenting, some universities have begun to introduce handbooks to optimize parental involvement.
