Estudiar el efecto de los estilos parentales autoritativo, autoritario y permisivo así como el desafío parental en el desarrollo de la curiosidad intelectual en adolescentes. Es un estudio de alcance explicativo causal de corte longitudinal con dos mediciones anuales consecutivas realizadas en mayo de 2023 y 2024. Participaron del estudio 194 adolescentes (M edad tiempo 1 = 12.52, DT= .66, M edad T2 = 13.33, DT = .61, 42.7% varones). Se utilizó Cuestionario Argentino de Estilos Parentales (Richaud, 2005), el Cuestionario de Desafíos Parental (Dailey, 2008) y la subescala curiosidad intelectual del instrumento de Carácter intelectual virtuoso (Mesurado & Vanney, 2024). Los resultados del ANOVA indican que los adolescentes que percibieron que sus padres ejercen altos niveles de estilo parental autoritativo (Tiempo 1) presentan mayores niveles de curiosidad intelectual (Tiempo 2) que aquellos adolescentes que perciben bajos y moderados niveles de estilo parental autoritativo. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los adolescentes que percibieron estilos parentales autoritarios o laxos en sus niveles de curiosidad intelectual. Un segundo ANOVA indicó que los adolescentes que perciben que sus padres les presentan desafíos (Tiempo 1) presentan mayores niveles de curiosidad intelectual (Tiempo 2) que aquellos adolescentes que perciben bajos niveles de desafío parental.

Studying the effect of authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles, as well as parental challenge, on the development of intellectual curiosity in teenagers. It is an explanatory causal study with a longitudinal design, comprising two consecutive annual measurements conducted in May 2023 and 2024. A total of 194 teenagers participated in the study (Mean age at Time 1 = 12.52, SD = .66, Mean age at T2 = 13.33, SD = .61, 42.7% male). The Argentine Parenting Styles Questionnaire (Richaud, 2005), the Parental Challenge Questionnaire (Dailey, 2008), and the intellectual curiosity subscale of the Virtuous Intellectual Character instrument (Mesurado & Vanney, 2024) were used. ANOVA results indicate that teenagers who perceived their parents as exhibiting high levels of authoritative parenting style (Time 1) showed higher levels of intellectual curiosity (Time 2) than those teenagers perceiving low and moderate levels of authoritative parenting style. No significant differences were found between teenagers perceiving authoritarian or permissive parenting styles in their levels of intellectual curiosity. A second ANOVA indicated that teenagers who perceived their parents as presenting challenges to them (Time 1) showed higher levels of intellectual curiosity (Time 2) than those teenagers perceiving low levels of parental challenge.
