Uninvolved Parenting
(noun)
Often applies when parents are emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.
Examples of Uninvolved Parenting in the following topics:
-
Authority Patterns
- Parenting is usually done by the biological parents of the child in question, although governments and society take a role as well.
- In many cases, orphaned or abandoned children receive parental care from non-parent blood relations.
- These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an uninvolved style.
- Parents who practice authoritarian style parenting have a strict set of rules and expectations and require rigid obedience.
- An uninvolved parenting style is when parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.
-
Influence of Parenting Style on Child Development
- There are four main parenting styles that most parents fall into: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved/neglectful.
- Parenting style refers to the way in which parents choose to raise their children.
- Through her studies, Baumrind identified three initial parenting styles: authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, and permissive parenting.
- Maccoby and Martin (1983) later expanded upon Baumrind’s three original parenting styles by adding the uninvolved or neglectful style, which has the most pervasive negative consequences across all domains.
- With the uninvolved style of parenting, the parents are indifferent and sometimes referred to as neglectful.
-
Parenthood
- These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an uninvolved style.
- An uninvolved parenting style is when parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.
- Helicopter Parenting: over-parenting; parents are constantly involving themselves, interrupting the child's ability to function on their own
- Strict Parenting: focused on strict discipline; demanding, with high expectations from the parents
- Parenting is a lifelong process.
-
Child Rearing
- Parenting is usually done by the biological parents of the child in question, with governments and society playing ancillary roles.
- Orphaned or abandoned children are often reared by non-parent blood relations.
- These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an Uninvolved style.
- Authoritarian parenting is very rigid and strict.
- In Uninvolved families, parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.

Introducing Externalities
- An externality is a cost or benefit that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to be subject to the cost or benefit.
- In economics, an externality is a cost or benefit resulting from an activity or transaction, that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to be subject to the cost or benefit .
- An externality is a cost or benefit that results from an activity or transaction and that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.
-
Positive Externalities
- Positive externalities are benefits caused by activities that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that benefit.
- Positive externalities are benefits caused by transactions that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that benefit.
- The use of these resources, in turn, impacts the uninvolved parties.
-
Negative Externalities
- Negative externalities are costs caused by an activity that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost.
- A negative externality is a cost that results from an activity or transaction and that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost.
-
Child Custody Laws
- Child custody and guardianship are legal terms, which are used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child.
- While the child is with the parent, that parent retains sole authority over the child.
- If a child lives with both parents, each parent shares "joint physical custody" and each parent is said to be a "custodial parent. " Thus, in joint physical custody, neither parent is said to be a "non-custodial parent. "
- A custodial parent is a parent who is given physical and/or legal custody of a child by court order.
- A non-custodial parent is a parent who does not have physical and/or legal custody of his/her child by court order.

Introduction to conditional probability (special topic)
- Are students more likely to use marijuana when their parents used drugs?
- The parents variable takes the value used if at least one of the parents used drugs, including alcohol.
- P(student = uses given parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60
- What is the probability that at least one of her parents used?
- P(parents = used given student = not) = 85/226 = 0.376
-
Defining conditional probability
- P(student = uses given parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60 (2.37)
- = P(student = uses | parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60 (2.37)
- = # (student = uses and parents = used)/# (parents = used)
- P(student = uses and parents = used) and P(parents = used).
- (b) Using the answers from part (a) and Exercise 2.41(b), compute P(parents = used|student = not) + P(parents = not|student = not)
