The current thesis aims to investigate the transmission of maternal self-construals through parenting. For this aim, two different studies were conducted. Study 1 was conducted as a preliminary study to explore whether there is an association between self-construals and parenting practices. The aim was to identify which parenting practices were associated with maternal self-construals. Study 2 focused on how various parenting practices (warmth, reasoning, corporal punishment, deceiving lying) mediate the relationship between maternal self-construals (related, and autonomous self-construals) and child prosocial behavior outcomes (proactive helping, reactive helping, sharing, mother-report prosocial behaviors). Overall, the results suggested that self-construals are related to the child's outcomes through different parenting practices depending on the type of prosocial behaviors. Reasoning practices significantly mediated the relationship between children's self-construals and reactive helping behaviors in both models. Deceiving and lying practices significantly mediated the relationship between self-construals and sharing behaviors only for the model with related self-construals. Lastly, parental warmth significantly mediated the relationship between self-construals and mother-report prosocial outcomes of children only for the model with related self-construals. Results were discussed considering the relevant literature.
