ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between perceived parenting styles and civic skills among Educators in East Java, Indonesia. It was hypothesized that Educators' perception of how they were raised by their parents correlates with their civic skills. We recruited 179 Educators from East Java as our respondents. The respondents answered questions on the Likert scale. Our study found there was a correlation between parenting style and civic skills among Educators, R = 0.10, p-value 0,01. In other words, about 90% of civic skills among Educators were influenced by another variable. The authoritative parenting style was a more significant influence on the formation of civic skills than the authoritarian parenting style and permissive parenting style.
