dc.description.abstractThis study aims to identify the influence of family upbringing patterns used by the parents (father and mother) on deviant behavior and academic achievement of children ages 13 to 15 years old in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 98 talented students and their parents from Jeddah were purposively selected. Data obtained from the sample comprised demographic variables and ratings from a scale of the family upbringing patterns. The patterns are composed of democracy-authoritarian and excessive protection and negligence. The Burks Behavior Rating Scale (BBRS) was used to measure the nature of the behavioral deviations. Harold F Burks developed the BBRS, which consists of seven deviant behaviors, namely, withdrawal, dependability, inability to control actions, inability to control anger, excessive aggression, stubbornness and resistance, and lack of social obedience. Results showed the even distribution of parents who use the democratic-authoritarian pattern of parenting. As for the excessive protection and negligence, some children confirmed that their parents used excessive protection, but not negligence. Moreover, 20.4% of the respondents have significant deviant behaviors because they needed attention and care, but none of the respondents had serious deviant behavior. Most respondents had suitable behaviors in the seven dimensions. The highly significant behavior that required treatment programs ranged between 1% and 2% in the dimensions, such as excessive dependability, inability to control actions, inability to control anger, and excessive aggression. The results detected both all patterns interpretation contribute to the occurrence of deviations in some dimensions of deviant behavior among the talented students. No statistically significant differences were found between the means of family upbringing patterns, namely, democratic, negligence, and excessive protection among the talented students according to gender. No statistically significant differences were found between the means of family upbringing patterns, such as negligence and excessive protection, among the talented students according to the academic achievement variable. However, differences existed in the authoritarian and democratic family upbringing patterns. The present study found no statistically significant differences between the mean levels of the deviant behavior among the talented students according to gender and academic achievement in the withdrawal, inability to control actions, stubbornness and resistance, and social obedience variables. Talented students had statistically significant differences depending on their level of academic achievement in the excessive dependability, inability to control emotions, and excessive aggression dimensions.en_US
