“…For instance, anxious adolescents may be biased in their perceptions and interpretations of parental behaviors (e.g., Waite et al, 2015). Reliance upon multi‐informant information, observational information (e.g., Wuyts et al, 2018), or a vignette methodology (e.g., Van Petegem et al, 2019) may help to take potential bias into account that is due to the single‐informant nature of the data. In addition, qualitative research could yield a more in‐depth understanding of how overprotective parenting represents a behavioral expression of underlying triangulation dynamics, where interpersonal boundaries are potentially violated (Afifi, 2003).…”

Previous research offers evidence for how overprotective parenting is related to psychosocial maladjustment among adolescents, and documents the parent‐related and child‐related antecedents of overprotective parenting. Using a family systems perspective, the present study aimed at extending this knowledge by looking into contextual determinants of overprotective parenting. More specifically, the goal of this study was to examine associations between adolescents’ perceptions of the coparental relationship (i.e., the way parental figures relate to each other in their role as parents) and overprotective parenting, which in turn was expected to relate to more adolescent anxiety symptoms. A sample of 174 Swiss adolescents (Mage =16.99 years, 73% girls) completed questionnaires assessing their perceptions of the coparental relationship (in terms of cooperation, conflict, and triangulation), overprotective parenting, and symptoms of anxiety. Analyses indicated that triangulation, in particular, was uniquely related to higher levels of overprotective parenting, which in turn was associated with more anxiety symptoms among adolescents. These results provide evidence for the importance of considering the larger family systems context for understanding the dynamics involved in overprotective parenting. Theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…This condition can be explained considering that in this stage of the vital cycle, the adolescent faces a de-regulatory and critical period, a conflictive school stage due to puberty, which involves gaining control and independence. As a result, adolescents might feel anonymous and disconnected, despite the effort put during these transitions as they experience new inter-personal contexts, competitive love relationships, and the development of social and cognitive skills [84][85][86][87][88][89].…”

This investigation aimed to analyze the predictive differential value of personal (self-regulation, self-efficacy, procrastination) and contextual characteristics (parents’ socio-educational level), regarding academic achievement, among Colombian adolescents. A total of 430 students (from 11 to 18 years old) from both genders filled out validated self-reports and informed their academic achievement. We performed an ex-post-facto design, simple regression analyses, structural equations predictions analyses (SEM), and variance analyses (ANOVAs). The results showed that self-regulation is the most potent personal variable predictive of procrastination and achievement, positively associated with self-efficacy; additionally, the parents’ educational level was also a predictor, although to a lesser level. The female group and the elderly group negatively predicted academic achievement, behaving as modulatory variables of the above results.

“…Gradually, over the course of decades, they transition from this dependency to become autonomous beings, capable of engaging in decision making and enacting behaviors across a wide range of contexts beyond the supervision of their caregivers. Autonomy development is a central psychosocial task of adolescence because of the social and cognitive changes that characterize this developmental period as well as its proximity to adulthood (Van Petegem et al, 2019). Despite the importance of autonomy development in adolescence, autonomous behavior is a developmental focus well before the adolescent years.…”

This review focuses on the measurement of parental autonomy support across different developmental periods. We begin with a summary of current theoretical perspectives on autonomy development and how they have informed the conceptualization of autonomy supportive parenting. We then discuss four different developmental periods (infancy/early childhood, middle childhood, early/middle adolescence, and late adolescence), summarizing developmental considerations for each and how such considerations have an impact on both the nature of autonomy support and how it is assessed. We hope that this information will serve as a resource for researchers who study parental autonomy support across a range of developmental periods, supporting them as they make measurement decisions.
