Summary
Mothers
Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Adolescent Psychology
- Family Studies
Background:
- Traditional research on parenting relies heavily on child self-reports, overlooking potential discrepancies.
- Understanding the congruence between maternal and adolescent perceptions of parenting is crucial for accurate assessment.
- Parenting styles, including autonomy support and control, significantly impact adolescent mental health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the agreement between mothers' and adolescents' reports of autonomy support and controlling parenting.
- To investigate the association between perceived parenting styles and adolescents' depressive symptoms.
- To explore the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction in the parenting-depression relationship.
Main Methods:
- Longitudinal study with 408 Japanese mother-adolescent dyads.
- Questionnaire data collected at two time points, four months apart.
- Cross-lagged regression analyses to examine predictive relationships.
Main Results:
- Low to moderate agreement was found between mothers' and adolescents' parenting perceptions.
- Mothers' reported autonomy support positively predicted adolescents' basic psychological needs satisfaction.
- Adolescents' basic psychological needs satisfaction was negatively associated with depressive symptoms.
Conclusions:
- Maternal reports of autonomy support are important predictors of adolescent psychological needs and well-being.
- Discrepancies in parenting perceptions between mothers and adolescents highlight the complexity of family dynamics.
- Future research should consider multiple perspectives when examining parenting's influence on adolescent mental health.
