Logical Consequences
We offer an integrative definition of the parental construct of logical consequences (LC), with the aim of stimulating research on their role in child socialization. Based on an exhaustive review of theoretical and empirical literature, we propose that LC are non‐need‐thwarting (i.e., ranging from need‐neutral to need‐supportive) parental constraints that address problems created by children's transgressions. Embedded in problem solving, they are…
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…
Should parents apologize to their adolescents to mend their parent–adolescent relationship? A multi‐method, multi‐phase investigation
Apologies following interpersonal offenses tend to mend relationships, but the role of parental apologies in the parent-adolescent relationship is understudied. Further, parental apologies may have diametrical effects on the parent-adolescent relationship depending on their phrasing. In this three-phase study, we recruited 288 adolescents to assess the role of perceived (phase 1), coded (phase 2), and manipulated (phase 3) parental victim-centere…
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…
Trajectories of coparenting quality across ethnically diverse and interethnic parents
The Interracial Couples' Life Transitions (ICLT) model proposes that: i) interethnic parents experience more coparenting difficulties upon the birth of a child compared to same-ethnicity parents; and ii) there exists heterogeneity in interethnic parents' coparenting quality, thus the coparenting experience cannot be generalized across all interethnic unions. In the present work, we examined these two propositions using a large-scale database of e…
The socializing role of logical consequences, mild punishments, and reasoning in rule‐breaking contexts involving multifaceted issues
Experimental studies focusing on the socialization role of parental authority exertion in persistent rule‐breaking contexts involving non‐personal issues have recently shown the advantages of using logical consequences over alternative strategies (mild punishments, reasoning, and no‐authority). Using an experimental vignette approach and a sample of 214 adolescents ( M age = 15.28 years), the present study extended these findings by comparing the…
The relation between children’s task‐specific competence and mothers’ controlling practices
In the guided learning domain of socialization, studies examining the antecedents of controlling parenting suggest that children’s lack of competence in a task could trigger controlling practices in that task. However, a stringent test of this relation remains to be conducted. This study examined this relation using a sample of 101 children ( M age = 10.21 years) and their mothers, a standardized measure of children’s competence in a task that wa…
