- Based on her observations, she categorized parenting styles into three; depending on the extent of demandingness and responsiveness, it was categorized into these four:
- authoritarian
- authoritative
- permissive
- uninvolved (this category was added later by other studies) (Cherry, 2021).
2. Comparison and contrast

- Permissive parents are low in demandingness but responsive (Laff & Ruiz, 2019, p.73; Muraco et al., 2020).
- Uninvolved parents are both low in demandingness and responsiveness (Laff & Ruiz, 2019, p.73; Muraco et al., 2020).
