Abstract

Few studies simultaneously examined how parent-adolescent discrepancies in reporting psychological control and autonomy support predicted adolescents’ adjustment and the moderation by adolescent gender remains unknown. This longitudinal study addressed these gaps using a Chinese sample of 310 adolescents (158 girls; M_age = 13.34, SD = 0.36) and their parents. Adolescents reported depression and resilience and dyads reported parenting. The latent difference scores analysis showed higher psychological control and lower autonomy support perceived by adolescents than parents and larger parent-boy discrepancies in psychological control. Psychological control discrepancies predicted higher adolescents’ depression and autonomy support discrepancies predicted lower boys’ depression. The results suggest that parent-adolescent discrepant perceptions of different parenting behaviors predict adolescents’ adjustment via different processes, which vary for boys and girls.

父母-青少年对父母心理控制和自主支持感知的差异预测青少年心理适应：青少年性别有影响吗？

很少有研究同时考察父母-青少年在心理控制和自主支持方面的差异如何预测青少年的适应和青少年性别的调节，这仍然是未知的。这项纵向研究利用310名中国青少年样本(158名女孩；Mage = 13.34, SD = 0.36)和他们的父母。青少年报告抑郁和适应力，二人组报告养育子女。潜在差异得分分析显示，青少年的心理控制水平高于父母，自主支持水平低于父母，父母与男孩的心理控制差异较大。心理控制差异预测青少年抑郁程度高，自主支持差异预测男孩抑郁程度低。结果表明，父母-青少年对不同教养行为的差异认知通过不同的过程预测了青少年的适应，这一过程在男孩和女孩之间存在差异。

期刊介绍： Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and researchers in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
