El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar qué estilo de socialización parental es idóneo en España midiendo el ajuste psicosocial de los hijos. Una muestra con 948 niños y adolescentes de 10 a 14 años (52% mujeres) indicaron las prácticas de socialización de sus padres. Las familias se clasificaron en una de las cuatro tipologías clásicas (autorizativa, autoritaria, indulgente o negligente) a partir de las respuestas de los hijos al PARQ/C (Rohner, 1990). Se usaron como criterios las cinco dimensiones del autoconcepto medidos por el AF5 (García y Musitu, 1999), seis indicadores de ajuste psicológico medidos por el PAQ (Rohner, 1990), tres indicadores de competencia personal y tres de problemas conductuales (Lamborn et al., 1991). Los estilos familiares autorizativo e indulgente se correspondieron generalmente con mejores puntuaciones en los criterios que los autoritarios y negligentes. Los resultados indicaron que el estilo familiar idóneo en España es el indulgente, ya que las puntuaciones de los hijos de familias indulgentes siempre fueron equivalentes, o incluso mejores, que los de las familias autorizativas.
