This study aimed to relate parental practices to the establishment of self-concept in preschoolers. Participants were 55 children from both genders, registered in Curitiba city public schools, and their parents. It was used the correlation method of study, in which children had their self concept evaluated by a previously selected measurement tool. The parental practices were assessed by observing two game situations with the family triad, video and audio recorded. Categories related to the parental practices were developed in order to have them observed and counted by two blind judges. The categories were: Positive Instruction of Verbal Interaction (IP), Coercive Instruction of Verbal Interaction (IC), Simple Verbal Interaction (VS), Positive Verbal Interaction (VP), Coercive Verbal Interaction (VC), Positive Non-verbal Interaction (NVP), Coercive Non-verbal interaction (NVA), Doing for the child (FP). Through statistic analysis was found that children with a positive self-concept have parents that provide more positive reinforced behaviors. Children with a negative self-concept have more coercive parents, in other words, parents that teach more by rule controlled behaviors, making hard to their kids learn how to discriminate contingencies. In this sample the boys´ self-concept was better established than those of girls of the same age. Children with intact families had also a higher self-concept. To Behavior Analysis the self-concept is acquired in the relationship with others. It is in the interaction with the external environment that the children learn to discriminate their inner stimuli, and thus built the self-concept based on the experiences mediated by the verbal community.Downloads

Once the article has been published, the author(s) should update their acknowledgement and provide a link to the definitive version on RBTCC’s website, adding a text such as: “This is a pre-print of an article published in the Brazilian Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/[insert DOI]”. RBTCC encourages posting of preprints of manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration from RBTCC. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting - including DOI and licensing terms - upon submission of the manuscript or at any other point during consideration at RBTCC publication process.
2. An accepted manuscript is the version accepted for publication in RBTCC following peer review but prior to copyediting and typesetting that can be made available under the following conditions:
(i) on their own personal, self-maintained website immediately on acceptance,
(ii) for public release, 12 months after first publication (i.e., "Embargo Period"), on any of the following: their employer’s internal website; their institutional and/or funder repositories.
