In this study, changes in three conflict resolution styles in parent–adolescent relationships were investigated: positive
problem solving, conflict engagement, and withdrawal. Questionnaires about these conflict resolution styles were completed
by 314 early adolescents (M = 13.3 years; 50.6% girls) and both parents for four consecutive years. Adolescents’ reported use of positive problem solving
increased with mothers, but did not change with fathers. Fathers reported an increase of positive problem solving with adolescents,
whereas mothers reported no change. Adolescents’ use of conflict engagement was found to temporarily increase with mothers,
but showed no change with fathers. Mothers and fathers reported a decrease in conflict engagement with adolescents. Adolescents’
use of withdrawal with parents increased, although this increase was temporarily with mothers. Mothers reported no change
in withdrawal, whereas fathers’ use of withdrawal increased. Generally, we found that both adolescents and their parents changed
in their use of conflict resolution from early to middle adolescence. These results show that conflict resolution in parent–adolescent
relationships gradually change in favor of a more horizontal relationship. 相似文献

This longitudinal study examined whether supportive parenting mediates relations between parent–child differences in cultural
orientation (generational dissonance) and depressive symptoms with a sample of 451 first and second generation Chinese American
parents and adolescents (12–15 years old at time 1). Using a person-centered approach, meaningful typologies of cultural orientation
were derived for fathers, mothers, and adolescents. Overall, results provided support, though qualified, for the notion that
generational dissonance is linked to depressive symptoms through decreased supportive parenting. In general, having a parent
with a bicultural profile seemed to be most advantageous if adolescents similarly had a bicultural profile, whereas more American oriented adolescents with more Chinese oriented parents reported the least supportive parenting and most depressive symptoms. Directions for future research and
the benefits of using a person-centered approach in research of acculturation and generational dissonance are discussed.

Cellular phones provide a means for parents to monitor and request information about whereabouts, associates, and current
activities from adolescents. Simultaneously, adolescents can communicate with parents to inform them of activities and to
solicit support or they can also choose to nondisclose. The frequency, duration, and nature of calls may relate to parents’
and to adolescents’ perceptions of truthfulness and family relationships. 196 dyads (13% father–son, 11% father–daughter,
30% mother–son, and 46% mother–daughter) completed a questionnaire indicating cell phone use, their truthfulness of activities,
the nature of their calls to one another, and family relationships. The parents were, on average, 45.38 years old (SD = 6.35)
and were 83% Euroamerican, 9% Asian American, 3% Latino, 3% African American, 2% Mixed ethnicity, and 1% American Indian.
The adolescents were, on average, 16.25 years old (SD = 1.17) and were 77% Euroamerican, 9% Asian American, 4% Latino, 3%
African American, 8% Mixed ethnicity, and .5% American Indian. Correlational analyses revealed that parents who called more
frequently reported less truthfulness when speaking to their adolescents via cell phone. Greater frequency in parental calls
also was associated with less adolescent-reported truthfulness. From multiple regression analyses, for parents, calls when
upset were associated with less parental knowledge and poorer family relations. For adolescents, the same was true; however,
adolescents who made calls seeking social support and to ask and confer with parents reported greater perceived parental knowledge
and better family relationships.

Research suggests that high parental support and control improves children’s well-being. However, a large part of these studies have focused on the parenting of married parents. Research on parenting after a divorce, mainly has focused on parenting of divorced mothers, with few exceptions concentrating primarily on non-residential fathers. Therefore, we compared both parenting dimensions support and control of fathers in different family structures (non-residential fathers, fathers in joint custody and married fathers). We also investigated the association between fathers’ parenting dimensions and children’s self-esteem, controlled for the parenting dimensions of the mother. Data from 587 children (50?% girls) between 10 and 18?years old and their parents were examined. Results revealed that non-residential fathers (n?=?225) were less supportive and controlling than fathers in joint custody (n?=?138) and married fathers (n?=?224). Nevertheless, having a supportive father was beneficial to children’s self-esteem in each family structure. We conclude that, even after a divorce, fathers have the capacity to enhance children’s self-esteem and we suggest that future research should investigate this capacity. 相似文献

A daily diary method was used to examine the daily dynamics of adolescent conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction
with mothers, fathers, and best friends among a sample of 72 Dutch adolescents (M = 15.59 years). Multilevel analyses revealed that perceived relationship satisfaction with mothers, fathers, and best friends
was lower on days on which conflict occurred with mothers, fathers, and best friends than on days on which no conflict occurred.
More specifically, perceived relationship satisfaction was highest in a particular relationship on days when no conflict occurred,
second highest on days on which constructive conflict occurred, and lowest on days on which unconstructive conflict occurred.
Whereas in adolescents’ relationships with their parents, conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction were not found
to be related to each other one day later, conflict with their best friends—and especially unconstructive conflict—was found
to be related to higher perceived relationship satisfaction one day later.

Data from the Fragile Families and Child-Well-being Study were used to examine predictors of involvement among fathers of
young children (N=2,215) born to adolescent and young adult mothers (ages 14–25; N=2,850). Participants were interviewed immediately following their baby's birth and at 3-years postpartum regarding co-parental
relationship quality, fathers’ caretaking behavior (“father involvement”), and fathers’ provision of material support for
the child (“in-kind” support). Early postnatal and 3-year postpartum parental relationship quality and father-child cohabitation
predicted 3-year father involvement while early father involvement did not. The race of fathers, specifically African American,
was associated with lower levels of father involvement. For in-kind support, 3-year father-child cohabitation and 3-year relationship
quality were both positively associated with provision of in-kind support. Father's income was not a significant predictor
but mother's involvement with a new partner at the 3-year follow-up was marginally significant. Lastly, the race of fathers,
specifically African American and Latino, was associated with provision of less in-kind support.

We examine the extent to which parental antisocial behavior is related to child antisocial behavior and, if it is, the extent
to which the effect is mediated by parental stressors and by parenting behaviors. In particular, we examine two sources of
stress–depressive symptoms and exposure to negative life events. The study is based on data from the Rochester Intergenerational
Study, a prospective multi-generation panel study. The parent sample is 73% male and 27% female and predominantly African
American (69%); the child sample consists of each parent’s oldest biological child. We find significant levels of intergenerational
continuity in antisocial behavior for mothers and for fathers who live with or supervise their child, but not for fathers
who have low levels of contact with their child. Results of structural equation models of mediating pathways are similar for
mothers and for supervisory fathers. Of the two stressors we examine, depressive symptoms appears to be the more consistent
mediator. It, both directly and indirectly via its impact on parenting behaviors, influences the child’s early onset of antisocial
behavior. The results imply that childhood antisocial behavior has deep roots, extending back to the parent’s adolescent development.

Anecdotal evidence suggests an increase in entitled attitudes and behaviors of youth in school and college settings. Using
a newly developed scale to assess “academic entitlement” (AE), a construct that includes expectations of high grades for modest
effort and demanding attitudes towards teachers, this research is the first to investigate the phenomenon systematically.
In two separate samples of ethnically diverse college students comprised largely of East and Southeast Asian American, followed
by Caucasians, Latinos, and other groups (total N = 839, age range 18–25 years), we examined the personality, parenting, and motivational correlates of AE. AE was most strongly
related to exploitive attitudes towards others and moderately related to an overall sense of entitlement and to narcissism.
Students who reported more academically entitled attitudes perceived their parents as exerting achievement pressure marked
by social comparison with other youth and materially rewarding good grades, scored higher than their peers in achievement
anxiety and extrinsic motivation, and engaged in more academic dishonesty. AE was not significantly associated with GPA.

The purpose of the present study was to examine relations between adolescents’ social cognitions regarding parenting practices
and adolescents’ prosocial behavioral tendencies. A mediation model was tested whereby the degree to which adolescents perceived
their parents as responding appropriately to their prosocial and antisocial behaviors was hypothesized to predict adolescents’
tendencies toward prosocial behavior indirectly by way of adolescents’ prosocial values. Adolescents (N = 140; M age = 16.76 years, SD = .80; 64% girls; 91% European Americans) completed measures of prosocial values and of the appropriateness
with which they expected their parents to react to their prosocial and antisocial behaviors. In addition, teachers and parents
rated the adolescents’ tendencies for prosocial behaviors. A structural equation model test showed that the degree to which
adolescents expected their parents to respond appropriately to their prosocial behaviors was related positively to their prosocial
values, which in turn was positively associated with their tendencies to engage in prosocial behaviors (as reported by parents
and teachers). The findings provide evidence for the central role of adolescents’ evaluations and expectancies of parental
behaviors and of the role of values in predicting prosocial tendencies. Discussion focuses on the implications for moral socialization
theories and on the practical implications of these findings in understanding adolescents’ prosocial development. 相似文献

Given that parenting practices have been linked to suicidal behavior in adolescence, examining the moderating effect of parenting
styles on suicidal behavior early in development could offer potential insight into possible buffers as well as directions
for suicide prevention and intervention later in adolescence. Hence, the moderating effects of parenting styles, including
authoritarian, permissive, and features of authoritative parenting, on depressed and aggressive children’s suicidal behavior,
including ideation and attempts, were evaluated with young children (N = 172; 72% male, 28% female) ranging from 6 to 12 years of age. African American (69%) and Caucasian (31%) children admitted
for acute psychiatric inpatient care completed standardized measures of suicidal behavior, depressive symptoms, and proactive
and reaction aggression. Their parents also completed standardized measures of parental distress and parenting style. Hierarchical
regression analyses revealed that, while statistically controlling for age and gender, children who endorsed more depressive
symptoms or reactive aggression reported more current and past suicidal behavior than children who endorsed fewer depressive
or aggressive symptoms. The significant positive relationship observed between depressive symptoms and childhood suicidal
behavior, however, was attenuated by parental use of authoritarian parenting practices for African-American and older children
but not for younger and Caucasian children. The ethnic/racial difference observed for the buffering effect of authoritarian
parenting practices offers potential theoretical and clinical implications for conceptualizing the moderating effects of parenting
styles on African-American and Caucasian children’s suicidal behavior. 相似文献

Early puberty is associated with stressful family environments, early sexual intercourse, and teenage pregnancy. We examined
pubertal timing and sexual debut among the 14-year-old offspring of teenage mothers. Mothers (71% Black, 29% White) were recruited
as pregnant teenagers (12–18 years old). Data were collected during pregnancy and when offspring were 6, 10 and 14 years old
(n = 318). Adolescents (50% male) compared the timing of their pubertal maturation to same-sex peers. There was a significant
3-way interaction effect of race, sex, and pubertal timing on sexual debut (n = 305). This effect remained significant in a model controlling for maternal age at first intercourse, substance use, exposure
to trauma, authoritative parenting, and peer sexual activity (n = 255). Early maturation was associated with early sex in daughters, and may be one pathway for the inter-generational transfer
of risk for teenage pregnancy among daughters of teenage mothers. 相似文献

How Do I Feel About Feelings? Emotion Socialization in Families of Depressed and Healthy Adolescents
Erin C. Hunter Lynn Fainsilber Katz Joann Wu Shortt Betsy Davis Craig Leve Nicholas B. Allen Lisa B. Sheeber 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2011,40(4):428-441
Emotional and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence set the stage for the development of adaptive or maladaptive
beliefs about emotions. Although research suggests that parents’ behaviors and beliefs about emotions relate to children’s
emotional abilities, few studies have looked at parental socialization of children’s emotions, particularly in families with
depressed adolescents. The present study examined associations between parent and adolescent meta-emotion philosophies (MEP),
defined as thoughts, reactions, and feelings about their own emotions. Additionally, adolescent depressive status was tested
as a moderator of relationships between parents’ and adolescents’ MEP. One hundred and 52 adolescents, aged 14–18 (65.8% female),
and their parents (148 mothers, 106 fathers) participated in a study on emotion socialization in families of depressed and
healthy adolescents. Depressed adolescents (n = 75) and matched healthy adolescents (n = 77) were recruited based on research criteria for mental health status. The sample was largely Caucasian (82%) and of middle
socioeconomic class status. Results indicated that mothers’ and fathers’ MEP about their children’s emotions were associated
with adolescents’ MEP, although parents’ MEP about their own emotions was unrelated to adolescents’ MEP. Fathers’ MEP about
children’s emotions made unique contributions to adolescents’ MEP across both adolescent groups. Adolescents’ depressive status
moderated the relationship between mothers’ and adolescents’ MEP such that mothers’ MEP was particularly relevant for depressed
adolescents. The continued influence of parents in the emotional lives of adolescents is discussed as well as differences
in emotion socialization in families with depressed and healthy adolescents. 相似文献

Adolescents may engage in risk behaviors that jeopardize their futures. Although adolescent risk-taking has long been attributed
to faulty decision making, surprisingly little research has directly examined this link. This study examined the role of deliberative
decision making (the tendency to consider options and consequences before making a decision) and social contextual variables
(parenting and friend influences) in alcohol and drug use, risky sex, and delinquency. Participants were 7,748 adolescents
(50% female) in grades 7–11 from the Add Health dataset (M age = 14.87, SD = 1.54). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that deliberative decision making and contextual variables
were associated with risk behavior concurrently and 1 year later. Furthermore, deliberative decision making interacted with
social contextual variables in some models, indicating that deliberative decision making may be especially important in certain
contexts. These findings suggest that both cognitive and social factors need to be considered to explain adolescents’ decisions
to engage in risk behavior. 相似文献

Drawing on García Coll et al.’s integrative framework and the risk and resilience model, this study examined the relationships
between adolescents’ perceived discrimination and psychosocial adjustment and the moderating roles of adolescents’, mothers’,
and fathers’ cultural orientations and values, and adolescent gender in a sample of 246 Mexican-origin families. Using multilevel
modeling with data from mothers, fathers, seventh graders (M
age = 12.8 years; SD = .57 year) and older siblings (M
age = 15.7 years; SD = 1.5 years), findings revealed that perceived discrimination was positively related to depression, risky
behaviors, and deviant peer affiliations. In addition, parents’ cultural orientations and values and adolescent gender moderated
the relationships between perceived discrimination and some indicators of adjustment. These findings suggest that parents’
cultural orientations and values can serve as protective and vulnerability factors in the associations between Mexican-origin
adolescents’ perceived discrimination and their psychosocial adjustment. 相似文献

Intergenerational cultural dissonance (ICD)—a clash between parents and children over cultural values—is a frequent issue
for Asian American youth. Using longitudinal data from the Cross Cultural Families Project, this study examines the mechanisms
by which ICD contributes to problem behaviors, including whether ICD predicts parent–child conflict, whether parent–child
conflict then has a direct effect on youth problem behavior, and whether positive bonding with parents mediates the effects
of such conflict on youth problem behaviors among Vietnamese (n = 164) and Cambodian (n = 163) families with adolescents [average age = 15.2 years (SD = 1.05)]. The results from the path analyses show that, in both groups, ICD indirectly predicts problem behaviors by increasing
parent–child conflict, which in turn weakens positive parent–child bonding. Interventions that target youths’ perception of
intergenerational cultural gaps, help them manage conflict, and help strengthen bonds with parents may prevent problem behaviors
among Cambodian and Vietnamese families. This study contributes to inform how to effectively prevent problems and difficulties
among these families.

AIDS is the leading killer of African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44, many of whom became infected when they were
teenagers or young adults. The disparity in HIV infection rate among African Americans youth residing in rural Southern regions
of the United States suggests that there is an urgent need to identify ways to promote early preventive intervention to reduce
HIV-related risk behavior. The Strong African American Families (SAAF) program, a preventive intervention for rural African
American parents and their 11-year-olds, was specially designed to deter early sexual onset and the initiation and escalation
of alcohol and drug use among rural African American preadolescents. A clustered-randomized prevention trial was conducted,
contrasting families who took part in SAAF with control families. The trial, which included 332 families, indicated that intervention-induced
changes occurred in intervention-targeted parenting, which in turn facilitated changes in youths’ internal protective processes
and positive sexual norms. Long-term follow up assessments when youth were 17 years old revealed that intervention-induced
changes in parenting practices mediated the effect of intervention-group influences on changes in the onset and escalation
of risky sexual behaviors over 65 months through its positive influence on adolescents’ self-pride and their sexual norms.
The findings underscore the powerful effects of parenting practices among rural African American families that over time serve
a protective role in reducing youth’s risk behavior, including HIV vulnerable behaviors. 相似文献

Understanding the prevalence and correlates of decisional autonomy within specific cultural contexts is necessary to fully
comprehend how family processes are embedded within culture. The goals of this study were to describe mothers’ and fathers’
decision-making with adolescents (M = 12.51 years, SD = 0.58; 51% female), including parent-unilateral, joint, and youth-unilateral decision-making, and to examine
the socio-cultural and family characteristics associated with these different types of decision-making in 246 Mexican-origin
families. Mothers reported more joint and youth-unilateral decision-making and less parent-unilateral decision-making than
did fathers. Fathers reported more youth-unilateral decision-making with sons than with daughters. Further, for mothers, more
traditional gender role attitudes and higher levels of mother-adolescent conflict were associated with more parent-unilateral
and less joint decision-making. In contrast, for fathers, lower levels of respect values were associated with more youth-unilateral
decision-making with sons, and higher levels of parent-adolescent warmth were associated with more youth-unilateral decision-making
with daughters. The importance of understanding the different correlates of mothers’ and fathers’ decision-making with sons
versus daughters is discussed. 相似文献

A looking glass self-orientation refers to the tendency to incorporate the opinions of social partners to form a self-representation
and approve of one’s self. These orientations were assessed for two adolescent siblings in 438 families with surveys accessed
on-line. Younger (M = 11.6 years, SD = 1.8) and older (M = 14.3, SD = 2.1) siblings and their mothers (82.7% European-American) participated. The siblings shared similar orientations in relying
on either classmates or the other sibling for approval, prior to self approval. Relying on classmate approval was significantly
associated with adjustment and academic performance as reported by both the self and mothers. Siblings were also identified
as sources of approval with implications for adjustment, but the magnitude of the associations with adjustment were lower.
Comparisons of the older and younger siblings revealed that both groups were equally as liable to poor outcomes when reflecting
the opinions of classmates or siblings. The results of SEM analyses implicate parenting characterized as coercive, rejecting,
and chaotic in association with the tendency to rely on others for approval. A mediating role for looking glass self-orientations
in associations between parenting and depressive symptoms, anxiety or academic performance was also found.

Theories of ethnic minority development have largely suggested that African American parents engage in a combination of practices
that include culturally distinctive socialization as well as behaviors that are characteristic of more universal forms of
academic socialization. However, few studies have examined how these socialization dimensions interact to influence the academic
adjustment of African American adolescents. The current study explored the independent and interactive roles of parental academic
and culturally distinctive socialization on the academic adjustment of African American adolescents. The sample was comprised
144 African American adolescents (M = 12.4; SD = 1.14; 56% female). Findings provided partial support that cultural and academic socialization were independently
associated with indicators of academic adjustment. However, the interaction between these dimensions also was associated with
youths’ adjustment in the academic domain. 相似文献

Parents’ Self-efficacy Beliefs and Their Children’s Psychosocial Adaptation During Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Research has shown that parents’ perceived parental self-efficacy (PSE) plays a pivotal role in promoting their children’s
successful adjustment. In this study, we further explored this issue by comparing psychosocial adaptation in children of parents
with high and low PSE during adolescence. One hundred and thirty Italian teenagers (55 males and 75 females) and one of their
parents (101 mothers and 29 fathers) participated in the research. Data were collected at T1 (adolescents’ mean age = 13.6)
and T2 (mean age = 17.5). Parents reported their PSE at T1. At T1 and T2, adolescents reported their perceived academic self-efficacy,
aggressive and violent conducts, well-being, and perceived quality of their relationships with parents. At T2, they were also
administered questions by using Experience Sampling Method to assess their quality of experience in daily life. As hypothesized,
adolescents with high PSE parents reported higher competence, freedom and well-being in learning activities as well as in
family and peer interactions. They also reported fewer problematic aspects and more daily opportunities for optimal experience.
Findings pointed to the stability of adolescents’ psychosocial adaptation and highlighted possible directions in future research. 相似文献
