  • The development of a parental identity during the transition to parenthood: A psychological resource for first-time parents’ well-being.

    Charlotte Schrooyen, Wim Beyers et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2026

    The transition to parenthood is a momentous life event that brings about significant changes and profound adjustments in individuals' lives. This period poses challenges for new parents and can increase their vulnerability to mental health problems. Although this transition is an identity-defining episode, surprisingly little research has focused on the development of parental identity during this crucial phase. To address this gap, the present s…

  • How autonomy‐supportive parenting fosters adolescent identity across the transition to higher education: The role of an authentic inner compass

    Open Access•Sam Houthuys, Branko Vermote et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2026

    During the transition from high school to higher education, late adolescents are faced with numerous decisions that can significantly impact their identity, such as choosing a major. This study investigated the role of late adolescents' sense of having an authentic inner compass (AIC)—the sense of knowing what is truly important to them by having personally endorsed values, preferences, and goals—in identity development. Moreover, we tested wheth…

  • Adaptive Schema Domains: Validation and Higher-Order Structure of the Young Positive Schema Questionnaire in a Sample of Flemish Emerging Adults

    Jakke Coenye, Sandra Verbeken et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

    Central to schema theory is the idea that schemas can be grouped into domains. The organization of these schemas into domains has clinical importance, but debate persists in the literature. This study uses the Young Positive Schema Questionnaire (YPSQ) to explore the higher-order structure of adaptive schemas, paralleling the literature on maladaptive schema domains. After validating a Dutch version of the YPSQ in a large Flemish emerging adult s…

  • Adolescents' digital lives: Introduction to the special issue

    Open Access•Ingrid Schoon, Ping Chiu Ip et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Adolescence•2024

    In Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China, non-government organizations (NGOs) play a pivotal role in the planning and provision of social services. With the government's emphasis on accountability, output control and cost-effectiveness in the delivery of services, NGOs need information to measure their activities, link their inputs with outputs, and facilitate accomplishing their goals. This research inv…

  • Care Competencies Training Enhances Adolescents’ Well-being: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    Open Access•Cat-Tuong Phuoc Nguyen, Wim Beyers et al.•ARTICLE•Psychosocial Intervention•2024

    Objective: This intervention study seeks to assess the impact of a care competencies training program on students' well-being. Method: This randomized controlled trial involved 191 Vietnamese adolescents (65.4% female, M age = 16 years and 8 months) in a 7-week intervention study that used video vignettes to build their care competencies. Validated scales were used to determine their care competencies (Care Competencies Questionnaire for Adolesce…

  • Which teachers feel good and adopt a motivating teaching style? The role of teaching identity and motivation to teach

    Branko Vermote, Maarten Vansteenkiste et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2024•References: 103

    The present study examined whether secondary school (SE) teachers (N = 324, Mage = 37.97) and university (UNI) teachers (N = 225, Mage = 44.80) with a firmly grounded and well-explored teaching identity would report better work-related well-being and would adopt a more motivating teaching style. We expected the opposite for teachers ruminating about their teaching role and also considered the mediating role of teaching motivation. Results from mu…

  • The how and the why of study choice processes in higher education: The role of parental involvement and the experience of having an authentic inner compass

    Open Access•Branko Vermote, B Soenens et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Adolescence•2023

    INTRODUCTION: Late adolescents differ in the degree to which they are thoroughly engaged in the study choice process and in the degree to which their choices are autonomous in nature. This study examined the unique and interactive roles of (a) parental involvement in the study choice process and (b) late adolescents' sense of having an authentic inner compass (AIC) in predicting their study choice decision-making.

  • Profiles of Parental Burnout Around the Globe: Similarities and Differences Across 36 Countries

    Open Access•M Matias, Joyce Aguiar et al.•ARTICLE•Cross-Cultural Research•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 38

    Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% wom…

  • Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout: A 40-Country Study

    Open Access•I Roskam, Laura Gallée et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2022

    In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when o…

  • Parental Burnout Across the Globe During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    H J A Van Bakel, Coco Bastiaansen et al.•ARTICLE•International Perspectives in…•2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all societies worldwide. The heightened levels of stress that accompanied the crisis were also expected to affect parenting in many families. Since it is known that high levels of stress in the parenting domain can lead to a condition that has severe consequences for health and well-being, we examined whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries (9,923 parents; 75% mothers; mean age 40) increased d…

  • Parenting Adolescents

    B Soenens, Maarten Vansteenkiste et al.•CHAPTER•Handbook of Parenting : Volume I•2019

    Adolescence is a developmental period with a reputation. Much like toddlerhood, it is often described as a period of vehement conflicts with parents, emotional upheaval, and irrational behavior. Such alarming portrayals of adolescence were common in early developmental research on adolescence, and they continue to remain prominent in contemporary popular scientific literature. The onset of puberty involves various physiological changes and physic…

  • The moderating role of adolescent personality in associations between psychologically controlling parenting and problem behaviors: A longitudinal examination at the level of within-person change

    Elien Mabbe, Maarten Vansteenkiste et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2019•References: 4

    Although abundant research has demonstrated associations between psychologically controlling parenting and adolescent problem behavior, little is known about the moderating role of adolescent personality herein. This study examined whether adolescent personality moderates the associations between parental psychological control and internalizing and externalizing problems at the level of within-person change. A 3-wave longitudinal design (N = 198 …

  • Rebels With a Cause? Adolescent Defiance From the Perspective of Reactance Theory and Self-Determination Theory

    Open Access•Stijn Van Petegem, B Soenens et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2015

    The present investigation focused on adolescents' defiance against parents by drawing upon psychological reactance theory (Brehm, 1966) and self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Psychological reactance would be elicited when freedom is taken away, thereby motivating individuals to engage in oppositional behavior. Throughout four studies (total N = 1,472, age ranging between 12 and 21 years), it was examined whether a controlling parentin…

  • Identity Centrality and Psychosocial Functioning: A Person-Centered Approach

    Open Access•Alan Meca, Rachel A Ritchie et al.•ARTICLE•Emerging Adulthood•2015

    There has been increased recognition that identity operates within several "components" and that not every component is likely to be equally central to one's sense of self. The aim of the current study was to determine the extent to which identity components (i.e., personal, relational, collective, and public) are differentially central to emerging adults' identity. We used a two-step cluster analytic procedure to identify distinct clusters and d…

  • Examining the longitudinal association between oppositional defiance and autonomy in adolescence

    Stijn Van Petegem, Maarten Vansteenkiste et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2015•Cited by: 13•References: 13

    In this longitudinal study, we tested whether the association between oppositional defiance to parental authority (i.e., adolescents' tendency to bluntly reject parental rules) and autonomy would depend upon the specific conceptualization of autonomy. Whereas oppositional defiance would yield more interpersonal distance from parents, because it involves turning away from parental authority, it would also yield less volitional functioning, as oppo…

  • Meaning in Life in Emerging Adulthood: A Person‐Oriented Approach

    Open Access•Jessie Dezutter, Alan S Waterman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2014

    The present study investigated naturally occurring profiles based on two dimensions of meaning in life: Presence of Meaning and Search for Meaning. Cluster analysis was used to examine meaning‐in‐life profiles, and subsequent analyses identified different patterns in psychosocial functioning for each profile. A sample of 8,492 American emerging adults (72.5% women) from 30 colleges and universities completed measures on meaning in life, and posit…

    Open Access•K Luyckx, Theo A Klimstra et al.•ARTICLE•Social Development•2013•Cited by: 21•References: 10

    Personal identity formation constitutes a crucial developmental task during the teens and 20s. Using a recently developed five‐dimensional identity model, this cross‐sectional study (N = 5834) investigated age trends from ages 14 to 30 for different commitment and exploration processes. As expected, results indicated that, despite some fluctuations over time, commitment processes tended to increase in a linear fashion. Exploration in breadth and …

  • Why Should I Leave?” Belgian Emerging Adults’ Departure From Home

    Open Access•Evie Kins, Jan De Mol et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Adolescent Research•2013•Cited by: 3•References: 8

    In today’s Western societies, the transition to adulthood is prolonged, creating a separate developmental phase between adolescence and adulthood referred to as emerging adulthood. Following from this general delay in adult commitment-making, a considerable number of emerging adults continues to live in the parental household. The present study was conducted in Belgium and aimed to obtain a greater understanding of the home-leaving experience by …

  • Conceptualizing parental autonomy support: Adolescent perceptions of promotion of independence versus promotion of volitional functioning

    B Soenens, Maarten Vansteenkiste et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2007•Cited by: 110•References: 7

    In current research on parenting, 2 ways of conceptualizing perceived parental autonomy support can be distinguished. Parental autonomy support can be defined in terms of promotion of independence (PI) or in terms of promotion of volitional functioning (PVF). This study aimed to establish the empirical distinctiveness of both conceptualizations and to examine their relative contribution to the prediction of adolescents' adjustment. The authors co…

    Open Access•Wim Beyers, Inge Seiffge-Krenke•ARTICLE•Journal of Adolescent Research•2010•Cited by: 25•References: 17

    Erikson stated that healthy identity development during adolescence is a precursor of intimacy in romantic relationships during emerging adulthood. However, from a developmental contextual perspective, there are reasons to question this strict developmental ordering. Using interview and questionnaire data from a longitudinal study on 93 adolescents, the authors tested whether ego development in middle adolescence predicts intimacy in emerging adu…

    In the West it is not until the mid-20s or 30s people reach an adult status. Becoming an adult signifies being independent from others (especially from parents) and learning to stand alone as a self-sufficient person. This study investigates whether the attainment of such individual qualities are affected by emerging adults’ living circumstances. Results indicate that though independent living is associated with an accelerated achievement of cert…
