Abstract

Objective: Parents and caregivers substantially contribute to youth emotional development. Emotion dysregulation is a significant, pervasive concern for youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, with adolescence being a salient but understudied developmental period. Several parent-related factors have shown to independently predict youth Emotion dysregulation. However, it is unclear whether there are underlying patterns of co-occurring parent-related factors that relate to emotion dysregulation in adolescents. This study examined potential latent profiles of parent factors and whether parent profiles (1) differed among parents of adolescents are diagnosed with or without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and (2) were associated with adolescent emotion dysregulation outcomes.

Method: The study sample included 266 adolescents (54.1% male; 81.6% White; 51.1% comprehensively diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).

Results: Three distinct parent profiles emerged: Low Internalizing/Emotion dysregulation and High Authoritative Parenting (62.5% of sample), Moderate Internalizing/Emotion dysregulation and Permissive Parenting (10.9% of sample), and High Internalizing/Emotion dysregulation and Moderate Authoritative Parenting (26.6% of sample). Results indicated that parents of adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are more likely to be in the High Internalizing/Emotion dysregulation and Moderate Authoritative Parenting profile. Profiles characterized by authoritative parenting practices were generally associated with less emotion dysregulation, though no significant differences in self-reported adolescent emotion dysregulation were observed across profiles.

Conclusion: These findings underscore the potential for parent psychopathology, emotion dysregulation, and parenting practices to serve as targets for interventions aimed at reducing emotion dysregulation, particularly in neurodiverse populations.

父母档案作为青少年情绪失调的预测因素：比较有和没有ADHD的青少年。

目的：父母和照顾者对青少年的情感发展起着重要的作用。情绪失调是青少年注意力缺陷/多动障碍的一个重要而普遍的问题，青春期是一个突出但研究不足的发育时期。几个与父母相关的因素已经被证明可以独立地预测青少年的情绪失调。然而，目前尚不清楚是否存在与青少年情绪失调相关的共同发生的父母相关因素的潜在模式。本研究考察了父母因素的潜在特征，以及父母特征(1)在诊断为有或没有注意缺陷/多动障碍的青少年父母之间是否存在差异，以及(2)是否与青少年情绪失调结果相关。方法：研究对象为266名青少年（男性54.1%，白人81.6%，综合诊断为注意缺陷/多动障碍的51.1%）。结果：出现了三种不同的父母特征：低内化/情绪失调和高权威教养（占样本的62.5%），中度内化/情绪失调和宽容教养（占样本的10.9%），以及高度内化/情绪失调和中度权威教养（占样本的26.6%）。结果表明，患有注意缺陷/多动障碍的青少年父母更有可能处于高度内化/情绪失调和中度权威型父母。以权威型父母为特征的个人档案通常与较少的情绪失调有关，尽管在自我报告的青少年情绪失调方面没有观察到显著差异。结论：这些发现强调了父母精神病理、情绪失调和育儿实践作为减少情绪失调干预目标的潜力，特别是在神经多样性人群中。
