Percieved Role Management and Parental Self-Efficacy of College Students

Abstract

The current study seeks to make a contribution to the existing literature on parenting programs by examining the effects of the Triple-P Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), on college students who are parents. Using a family systems framework as a theoretical guide, a case study was done to analyze parental role management and self-efficacy upon completion of Triple P parenting seminars. Four to six weeks upon completion of the Triple P seminar follow-up interviews were conducted with the 3 participants of this case study. After transcription and analyses of all participants' responses, a relevance to perceptions of participants' parental self-efficacy and role management as student parents was identified.
