AB The aim of this study was to compare parenting in two southern European countries,Spain and Portugal, according to adolescent perceptions from a situated perspective. A total of 445Portuguese (58.88%) and Spanish (41.12%) adolescents completed a questionnaire about maternalpractices and provided socio-demographic information. Portuguese and Spanish mothers weremore responsive than coercive in controlling adolescents’ compliance and non-compliance situations.Spanish mothers scolded, revoked privileges, and punished physically more often than Portuguesemothers, who used dialogue more often. Multivariate analysis showed three groups of parentingpractices. Portuguese mothers were represented mainly in the Indulgent group (81.70%), and Spanishmothers in the Authoritative group (74.40%), whereas the third group (Neglectful) was independentof the country of origin. These results support the theory that research and family intervention shouldrecognize cultural aspects in order to grasp the parenting process.
