A Longitudinal Study of Parental Solicitation, Rule-Setting, and Psychological Control as Predictors of Adolescent Disclosure across More Individualistic and More Collectivistic Countries
Although autonomy-relevant parenting practices (solicitation, rule-setting, and psychological control) have been linked to adolescent disclosure, little is known about how these practices operate across cultural contexts. Existing studies often examined these practices in isolation or relied on cross-sectional designs, limiting understanding of their unique relations over time. This study examined these associations longitudinally across eight co…
Exploring how adolescent boys' and girls' internalizing and externalizing behaviors impact parental self‐efficacy: A vignette study
Deliberation, Cognitive Complexity, and Political Engagement: A Longitudinal Study of the Impact of Deliberative Training During Emerging Adulthood
Young adults who had participated in a college program in which they learned to deliberate were compared with a matched sample from the same college who did not participate. Interview and survey responses to questions about citizenship and communication about politics were analyzed. Ten years after their graduation, the students who learned to deliberate during college had more complex conceptions of citizenship and its responsibilities compared …
Trends in parental self-efficacy between 1999 and 2014
Parenting and parent–child relationships in Western countries have undergone notable changes over recent decades. Parents today generally spend more time with their children and use less harsh discipline compared to parents over 50 years ago. Less is known about trends in parental beliefs over this time period. In this study, we examined differences in parental self-efficacy (PSE) between parents of young adolescents from two samples, one collect…
Acculturation Conflict, Cultural Parenting Self‐Efficacy, and Perceived Parenting Competence in Asian American and Latino/a Families
Parents from immigrant backgrounds must deal with normative parenting demands as well as unique challenges associated with acculturation processes. The current study examines the independent and interactive influences of acculturation conflict and cultural parenting self-efficacy (PSE; e.g., parents' confidence in instilling heritage, American, and bicultural values in their children) on perceptions of general parenting competence. Using data fro…
Change and predictors of change in parental self-efficacy from early to middle adolescence
Parental self-efficacy (PSE) describes parents' beliefs about being able to handle developmentally specific issues and being able to influence their child in a way that fosters the child's positive development and adjustment (Bandura, 1997). Parents of adolescents have been shown to feel less efficacious than parents of preadolescent children (Ballenski & Cook, 1982), but little is known about the factors behind low levels of PSE among parents of…
Civic Orientation in Cultures of Privilege: What Role Do Schools Play
The context of privilege provides unique opportunities and challenges for youth civic development. A mixed-method approach was used to examine links between school-based community service, school climate, and civic orientation among students in cultures of privilege. Surveys completed by students ( N = 376) at two private high schools-one with an extracurricular community service requirement and one without-suggest that students in the school wit…
Daily stress and emotional well-being among Asian American adolescents: Same-day, lagged, and chronic associations
Daily-diary data from 180 Asian American 9th-10th graders (58% female, 75% second generation; M age = 14.97 years) were used to investigate how family, school, and peer stress are each associated with same-day and next-day (lagged) well-being, and vice versa. Hierarchical linear modeling provided support for reciprocal links when considering same-day reports. More daily stress was associated with lower same-day happiness and higher distress and a…
Construction of Social Reality During Early Adolescence: Can Expecting Storm and Stress Increase Real or Perceived Storm and Stress
This study examines whether mothers' or adolescents' expectations concerning “storm and stress” behaviors at adolescence predict subsequent real or perceived adolescent behavior and attributes during the early years of adolescence. The study used a short‐term longitudinal design. Participants were 6th‐ and 7th‐grade adolescents and their mothers ( N =270 families). Data were collected via telephone interviews and questionnaires at 2 time points a…
Parenting and Perceived Maternal Warmth in European American and African American Adolescents
Traditional conceptualizations of parenting style assume certain associations between parenting practices/philosophies and parental warmth. This study examines whether those links are similar for European American and African American adolescents. Two hundred and ninety‐eight early adolescents and their mothers reported on discipline and control practices, decision‐making practices, and parenting philosophy, which were used to predict adolescents…
Mothers' and Fathers' Knowledge of Adolescents' Daily Activities: Its Sources and Its Links With Adolescent Adjustment.
To elucidate the benefits ascribed to parental monitoring, the authors examined links between parental knowledge and methods of obtaining knowledge about adolescents' activities, and links between these constructs and adolescent adjustment. The roles of parent gender, adolescent gender, and family earner status in these associations were also studied. Participants were 95 adolescents (ages 10 to 17 years, 60% male and 40% female) and their parent…
Mothers’ Generalized Beliefs About Adolescents: Links to Expectations for a Specific child
Mothers’ generalized beliefs about adolescents were used to predict a mother’s expectations for her own child’s adolescent years. Participants were 75 mothers of children in either sixth grade or seventh grade. Generalized beliefs about adolescents predicted the mother’s expectations for her own young adolescent even after accounting for the young adolescent’s current attributes (e.g., depressed mood, closeness to mother). For example, the more l…
Psychological Control During Early Adolescence: Links to Adjustment in Differing Parent/Adolescent Dyads
The present study examined the association between adolescent perceptions of parental psychological control and adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms across four dyadic relationships (mother/daughter, mother/son, father/daughter, and father/eson) cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Participants were 306 sixth- and seventh-grade students,287 mothers, and 115 fathers, interviewed at two time points one year apart. Cross-sectionally,…

Adolescents and their Families After Divorce: Three Residential Arrangements Compared
Adolescent adjustment and family processes 4 1/2 years after parental separation were examined through telephone interviews with 517 adolescents (10 1/2 to 18 years old) living in mother, father, or dual residence. Residence differences in adjustment were small in magnitude, with adolescents in father residence adjusting somewhat more poorly than adolescents in other arrangements, especially in comparison to dual-resident adolescents. The link be…
Are adolescents the victims of raging hormones? Evidence for activational effects of hormones on moods and behavior at adolescence
The literatures on hormone changes at adolescence, hormonal influences on moods and behavior in nonhuman animals and adult humans, and mood and behavioral changes at adolescence and the small but burgeoning literature on hormonal influences at adolescence are examined. The focus is on moods and behaviors often identified as typically adolescent (e.g., mood lability, mood intensity, irritability, conflict with parents) and the primary hormones of …
