Οικογενειακά μοντέλα και γονική επιτήρηση: μια συγκριτική μελέτη μεταξύ Μεγάλης Βρετανίας, Σουηδίας και Ελλάδας

Abstract

The article examines the family models and parental supervision in three European countries; Great Britain, Sweden and Greece. The results show (secondary data from the 1999 ESPAD study) that in Greece traditional family models and high levels of parental supervision of adolescents are signifi cantly more prevalent than in Great Britain and Sweden. It is suggested that cultural (individualism, collectivism) and socio-political (Welfare State) differences, between these three European countries, may have an impact on the formation of the family models and teenagers’ parental supervision.
