2.0 FINDINGS
2.1 FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE
2.1.1 THE ENVIRONMENT FACTOR THAT AFFECT THE CHILDREN/
BEHAVIOR THE MOST
Based on the pie chart above, the environment factor that affects the
children behavior the most is the parents attitude at home, followed by the peers,
the siblings and the mass media. The parents attitude affects the children
behavior the most because children are always be with their parents at home.
Where everything that the parents do and say will be practice and followed by the
children. Since the children see their parents as a role model that can be trusted
and followed. Peers are the second factor that influences the children behavior
because a peer is the person that is close to the children other than parents.
Which, peers are the children of about same age or maturity level. According to
Harris, children's interaction with their peers permanently modifies their inborn
psychological characteristics. Thus, what they learn outside the home remains
steadfast with them thorough adulthood. Siblings are the factor that givesmoderate affect on children behavior. Where its depending to the family itself,
which if the children are taking care by their siblings the children will be more
prefer to follow their siblings behavior and this will affect the children behavior.

But if the parents are taking care of the children, the children behavior will be less
affect by the siblings. The least affect of environment factor on children behavior
is the mass media (television, internet and many more...). Where parents mostly
will control the amount of time their children spend on watching television and the
television program that usually watch by the children are not violence and wont
affect their children behavior a lot . As a conclusion, parent attitude at home is
the factor that will affect the children behavior the most. For example, a young
boy might observe his fathers aggressive outbursts and hostile interchange with
people; when observed with his peers, the young boys style of interaction is
highly aggressive, showing the same characteristic as his father behavior. Which,
there is a statement state that "As the father is, so is the son or, as the
mother is, so is the daughter."
2.1.2 DO YOU INVESTIGATE YOU CHILDS PEERS BACKGROUND
Yes
No

No
Figure 2 : Investigate You Childs Peers Background
Based on the pie chart above, there is 60 percent of the respondent
investigating their children peers background. While 40 percent didnt investigate
their children peers background. Most of the parents investigate their children
peers background because they want to know the peers parental background,
the kind of environment they are brought up into and their social behavior while in
school and outside of school. While some of the parents didnt investigate their
peers background because they know all their children friends and they say it is
-
7/30/2019 A Report on the Parenting Styles on Enviroments Children Behaviour (1)
12/23
not necessary for them to check on their children friends background. So as the
conclusion, most of the parents nowadays check on their children peers
background because they dont want their children to be influence by the bad
attitude of the friends. Besides, its also because as what their children learn
outside the home may remains steadfast with the children thorough adulthood.
Which according to Harris, children are most influenced by their peers. They
adopt many behaviors of their peers in social settings in order to be accepted by
their peers. But if the children whose parents encourage them to think
independently learn to question rather than to blindly follow. Such children might
be less influenced by their peers. It also can be argued that parents exercise
significant influence on children's choice of peers. Children who are taught to be
responsible are more likely to choose responsible peers. In the negative
instance, children join gangs because they don't have a close knit family. So as a
conclusion, parents investigated their children peers background is to avoid their
children from not affected by their peers bad behavior or unacceptable behavior.
Since children mind and behavior are easily affected.

-

indulgent and neglectful parenting style. This result is based on the analysis
through every question that is answer by the respondent. Most of the respondent is
an authoritative parent. Since, they have the characteristic of the authoritative
parenting style. Where, they demand a lot from their childs behavior, but they also
highly responsive and caring toward their children. Which, they take an interest in
the progress of their child mind and physical development. Besides, they wouldnt
punished their children but they give some advised if their children broke the rule.
While the other respondent is an authoritarian parenting where they control and
demand a lot on their children. Which as Forsyth says that, Authoritarian parents,
in contrast, give few reasons for their demands. Instead of explaining their
demands in terms of the effect of the childs behavior on others, they appeal to an
authority: Do this because I say so (376). According to Horton-Parkers article
Teaching Children to Care. They also use force regularly to maintain a position as
the boss. Where they will punish and scold their children for doing something wrong
or breaking the rules. So as a conclusion, most of the parents nowadays used the
authoritative parenting style. As the authoritative parenting style is a kind of
parenting style that can control the children behavior. Which kids with authoritative
parenting achieve best grade, are the most self-reliant and the best behaves. As
the authoritative parenting approach is associative with the best outcomes forchildrens behavior (Horton-Parker para.17). Besides, children with the
authoritative parents are also a cheerful person, have self-controlled, maintain
friendly relations with peers and cope with adults. Authoritative parenting style
would also help the parents to solve the children problem in a good way as quoted
by Fitzhugh Dodson in his book of How to Discipline With Love which is "I believe
it is far better to solve a conflict by negotiation and agreement rather than through
power. However, in extreme cases . . . I believe we have to fall back on sheer
power" (p. 92). So we can conclude that different types of parenting style will shape
children behavior in different way.

Based on the pie chart above, 77 percent of the respondent agreed that their
mind and behavior will sometimes influenced by their friends. While, 23 percent of the
respondent agreed that their behavior and mind will usually influenced or affected by
their friends. Most of the respondent will sometimes influence by their friends because
they have their own belief. Where, if what their friends do is opposite to their belief they
wont follow it, but if they think that what their friend do is right they will follow it. The fact
is that we decide who we would let influence, inspire, or corrupt us. Children whose
parents encourage them to think independently learn to question rather than to blindlyfollow. These children might be less influenced by their peers. While the others, will
usually influence by their friend because they dont have the self-confident. Where, most
of their decision will be influence by their friends. Besides, their behaviors change in
order to win acceptance from their peers. So as a conclusion child will be influence by
their friend. As according to Harris, children are most influence by their peers. But, how
much the peers influence is depends on the individual itself.
2.1.5 WHATS THE PARENTS USUALLY DO WHEN THEIR CHILDREN BREAK
THE RULES.

Warning
The pie chart above shows that 54 percent of the respondent will be
advice by their parents when they break the rules. Then, followed by 39 percent
whose parents give warning to their children and 7 percent whose parent punish
them for breaking the rules. Most of the parents only give advice to their children
because they believe that their children will regret for what they have do and as
8
their children already know how to think by themselves. Besides, parents believe
that by giving advice the message that they want to tell will be received
effectively by the children. Some parents will only give their children warning
because the child would scare to break the rules again. Which, the childrenbelieve that if they break the same rules again they will be punished by their
parents. While only a few of the parents will punish their child for breaking the
rule, as punishment will give the children a deep impact. So as a conclusion,
mostly parents will only gives their children advice or warning other than
punishing for breaking the rules.
From the explanation above, we can say that most of the parents are
practicing authoritative parenting styles to overcome the children behavior
problem. Which they only giving advice and warning when their children do
something wrong. As the characteristic of the authoritative parenting style is they
allowed extensive verbal give-and-take, warm and nurturant toward their children
and they also support their childrens constructive behavior. The authoritative
parents also only give their children advice because they dont want to hurt their
-

16/23
children in a negative way. In the other hand, some of the parent can be
observed that they practicing authoritarian parenting style. Which they will punish
their children for breaking the rules. The characteristic of the parenting style is
the parents was very strict, and like to punish their children as they want the
children to follow their direction and respect their work and effort. So it can be
concluded that in order to control the children behavior parent should have
different kind of techniques to overcome it. Where one of it, is negotiate with your
children behavior.

2.1.6 DOES THE TELEVISON PROGRAM AFFECT THE CHILDREN BEHAVIOR?
Based on the pie chart above, 70 percent of the respondent agreed that
television program they watch will influence their behavior. While the other 30
percent argue that television program will affect their behavior. Most of the
respondent said that their behavior will be affected by the television program they
watch, which their behavior change into an easy going person, responsible and

become more hilarious. Where the television program they usually watch is
comedy, documentary, drama, movie and many more. While the other that
argued that television program didnt affect their behavior because they have
self-motivated and know what is right and wrong. Besides, they also know how to
control themselves for not being affected by the television program. Where they
watch television just for fun and they will tell themselves that the entire thing
showed in the television is not real. So as the conclusion, television program will
affect one behavior but it depends on what kind of television program they watch.
As television have negative and positive effect on ones behavior.
10
Some people suggest that the media is causing aggressive behavior while
others feel that violence in the media can help reduce an aggressive drive. While
testing both of these theories conclusions have proved that the media violence
can have both a positive and negative effect on an individual. So from
here, its true that television program really got affect the children behavior but
the change of behavior maybe a good behavior or a bad behavior.
3.0 CONCLUSION
In this research, the researcher focuses on two aspects that will affect the
children behavior. That is the parenting styles and the environment aspect. Besides,
the researcher also focuses on the children behavior. The hypotheses of this
research are the way or type of parenting styles that used by the parents and the
environment will affect the children behavior. While, the significant of doing this
study is to solve the social problem that happen among children by finding a way

questionnaire distributed were not given back by the respondent. While in
methodology, the researcher discuss about the method that is used, which the
method used is questionnaire to get the data. Then the questionnaire will be
analyzed and the result will be discuss in finding. Where the result will be convert

authoritative parenting style in raising their children. Where, most of the children
whose parents who are authoritative parents are best behave. While children whose
parents who are authoritarian parents will be more aggressive and have antisocial
behavior. Besides, the parenting styles aspect the result also showed that the
environment also got affect on children behavior.
11
Where, the parents attitude at home is the major factor that will affect the
children behavior. While peers is the second followed by siblings and mass media.
