Abstract:

Safe ground theory claims that predictable, positively valenced parental responses that give credit for repeatable, positive child behaviors leads to the repetition of those behaviors (i.e., behavioral competence), and, over time, internalization of the positive responses (i.e., self-esteem). Self-, peer-, and mother-report surveys (N=316) showed that self-esteem was predicted by the hypothesized combination of high self-efficacy of positive behaviors and maternal response characteristics. Behavioral competence was predicted only by perceptions of valence and credit.

Safe Ground 1 Running head: SAFE GROUND THEORY Safe Ground Theory: Explaining the parent-child interaction patterns that lead to child self-esteem and behavioral competence Abstract This paper details a favorable test of “safe ground theory ” which claims that predictable   positively valenced parental responses that give credit for repeatable  positive child behaviors  should lead to the repetition of those behaviors (i.e.  behavioral competence)  which also leads to  the repetition and  over time  internalization of the positive responses to those behaviors (i.e.   self­esteem). This theory contributes to literature on parent­child relationships by specifying why  and how concrete interaction behaviors may lead to positive outcomes. A study of 316  undergraduates  mothers  and friends revealed that self­esteem was predicted by the  hypothesized combination of high self­efficacy of positive behaviors and maternal response  characteristics (high predictability  and high levels of valence and credit). Behavioral  competence was predicted only by perceptions of valence and credit. Implications and  limitations are discussed.  Safe Ground 2 SAFE GROUND THEORY: EXPLAINING THE PARENT-CHILD INTERACTION PATTERNS THAT LEAD TO CHILD SELF-ESTEEM AND BEHAVIORAL COMPETENCE As any parent knows there is an abundance of parenting advice available wherever you turn
