ABSTRACT
The present study aims to determine the relationship among factors that make up the parenting styles according to the PCRI (Parent-Child Relationship Inventory) and hyperactivity reported by parents through the BASC (Behaviour Assessment System for Children). We selected a sample of 32 children between 3 and 14 years old (23 male and 9 female) with risk scores in hyperactivity and another similar group with low scores in hyperactivity. After administering both instruments to the parents, we carried out a binomial logistic regression analysis which resulted in a prediction model for 84.4% of the sample, made up of the PCRI factors: fathers' involvement, communication and role orientation, mothers' parental support, and both parents' limit-setting and autonomy. Moreover, our analysis of the variance produced significant differences in the support perceived by the fathers and mothers of both groups. Lastly, the utility of results to propose intervention strategies within the family based on an authoritative style is discussed.

El presente estudio se propone determinar la relación existente entre los distintos factores que componen el estilo de crianza de padres y madres según el PCRI (Parent-Child Relationship Inventory) y la hiperactividad informada por los padres mediante el BASC (Behavior Assessment System for Children). Para ello se seleccionó un grupo de 32 niños entre 3 y 14 años (23 niños y 9 niñas) con puntuación de riesgo en hiperactividad y un segundo grupo de similares características aunque con una puntuación baja en hiperactividad. Tras administrar a sus padres los dos instrumentos antes señalados se llevó a cabo un análisis de regresión logística binomial, obteniendo como resultado un modelo de predicción válido para el 84,4% de los sujetos, compuesto por los factores del PCRI: compromiso, comunicación y distribución de rol del padre, apoyo de la madre y disciplina y autonomía de ambos progenitores. Además, el análisis de varianza arrojó diferencias significativas entre el apoyo percibido por padres y madres de ambos grupos. Finalmente, se discute la utilidad de estos resultados para el planteamiento de estrategias de intervención en el ámbito familiar basadas en un estilo educativo democrático
