Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being Following Knee Injury
During adolescence, knee injuries are common and can greatly affect patients’ subjective well-being. Social support has been identified as a buffer against ill-being after knee injury. Self-determination theory holds that optimal social support nurtures the psychological need for autonomy, which is defined as a sense of personal endorsement of one’s actions. This longitudinal study aimed to examine the contributions of perceived parent and physic…
Evaluating the Impact of the How‐to Parenting Program on Child Mental Health
The How‐to Parenting Program teaches parents how to provide autonomy support, structure, and affiliation, the three components of the parenting style shown to be beneficial for children's mental health. Using a waitlist RCT, we assessed its impact on school‐aged children's externalizing and internalizing problems. We also tested whether family composition, participating parents' gender, child age, sex, and baseline mental health modified its effe…
Effects of an ACT-based intervention on university students’ self-compassion and psychological well-being
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an ACT intervention, Korsa, on university students’ self-compassion and psychological well-being. We also explored whether self-compassion could mediate Korsa’s well-being benefits. In this randomized controlled trial, 137 university students were randomly assigned to Korsa or a waitlist control condition. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires about their self-compassion and w…
Parental Autonomy Support and Child Psychosocial Adjustment
The studies described in this paper investigated whether cultural hierarchy plays a moderating role in the association between parental autonomy support and child psychosocial adjustment, employing samples presenting a wide range of cultural variability (parents born in 71 different nations). The participants’ cultural backgrounds, based on the parents’ birth country, were rated in terms of emphasis on hierarchical power using Schwartz’s dimensio…
Disentangling autonomy-supportive and psychologically controlling parenting
Self-determination theory's (SDT) dual process model claims that parental autonomy support relates positively to child well-being, while psychologically controlling parenting is linked positively to child ill-being. We tested these claims using a combination of one-stage and univariate meta-analytic structural equation modeling with moderation ( k = 238; n = 1,040, N = 126,423). In the univariate models, parental autonomy support was linked posit…
Parental consideration of children's experiences
The purpose of this paper is to bring together and highlight common conceptual elements and findings from constructs that involve parents' consideration of children's viewpoints and experiences: parental sensitivity, empathy, perspective taking, responsiveness, autonomy support, and scaffolding. Research on each of these constructs suggests that consideration in the parenting role is associated with better child development, learning, and well‐be…
Perceived Parenting and Borderline Personality Features during Adolescence
Validation of the Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale (P-Pass).
A self-determination theory perspective on parenting.
This article describes research on parenting that supports children's need for autonomy. First, the authors define parental autonomy support and distinguish it from permissiveness or independence promotion. The authors also define psychologically controlling parenting and distinguish it from behavioral control (structure). Second, the authors present studies examining how parental autonomy support promotes healthy development. Indeed, clear and c…
A Longitudinal Study of the Relationship of Maternal Autonomy Support to Children's Adjustment and Achievement in School
A longitudinal study examined the relations of maternal autonomy support to children's school adjustment. Autonomy support and other parenting dimensions were measured when children were 5 years old. School measures were teacher‐rated academic and social adjustment and achievement in reading and math in grade 3. Regression analyses controlling for age 5 family and child factors (e.g., socioeconomic status [SES], kindergarten adjustment, IQ) revea…
Introducing Uninteresting Tasks to Children
Two experiments compared rewards and autonomy support as methods to promote children's self-regulation for an uninteresting vigilance task. Dependent measures were ratings of positive affect, perception of the task's value, and free-choice engagement. ANOVA results revealed some positive effects associated with autonomy support, whereas no effect for rewards was found in either study. The outcomes of most interest were correlations between free-c…
