Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence: Longitudinal Links with Maternal Empathy and Psychological Control

Abstract: Building on self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan in Psychological Inquiry, 11, 227-268. doi:10.1207/S15327965PLI1104_01, 2000), the aim of the current study was to examine the role of maternal affective and cognitive empathy in predicting adolescents’ depressive symptoms, through mothers’ psychological control use. Less empathic mothers may be less sensitive to adolescents’ need for psychological autonomy, and thus prone to violating this need using psychological control, which may in turn predict adolesce… Show more

“…First, boys may manifest more disruptive behaviors, such as excessive agitation, aggressiveness, and noncompliance than girls (Duchesne and Larose, 2007), which may make boys receive more psychological control from parents. Second, it is possible that adolescent boys expect more autonomy and self-directed than girls, and thus be more sensitive to parental psychological control and autonomy support than girls do (Werner et al, 2016). In addition, it is worth noting that there were no significant gender differences on students' achievement goal orientations.…”

“…One way to understand this interaction effect is looking at gender effects on parenting (Grusec & Davidov, ). For instance, boys are more prone to view parents’ behaviours as psychologically controlling than girls (Barber & Harmon, ; Soenens et al ., ; Werner, Van der Graaff, Meeus, & Branje, ). This ‘bias’ is coupled with the fact that boys usually display more non‐conforming behaviours than girls (Duchesne & Larose, ), which, in turn, is likely to evoke parents’ increased use of psychologically controlling behaviours.…”

“…Sedangkan bagi anak laki-laki cenderung menganggap ibu lebih mengontrol, tidak bisa bebas dalam menjalani kehidupan, bahkan ketika ibu menunjukkan lebih banyak empati mereka merasa lebih depresi. Empati berlebih pun akan menyebabkan seseorang merasa terkekang, kurang bebas untuk mengeksplorasi diri, banyak tuntutan sesuain aturan yang menimbulkan depresi yang lebih tinggi, empati ini pun bukan menjadi komponen yang mendukung terbentuknya kecerdasan emosi yang baik pada indiviu jika hal-hal yang dilakukan terlalu mengekang dan membuat seseorang tidak nyaman (Werner et al, 2015 ;Calandri et al, 2019 ). Sehingga peneliti menyarankan adanya keterbukaan untuk menyampaikan hal-hal yang diinginkan maupun tidak diinginkan agar empati orang sekitar tidak bersifat mengintimidasi, mengekang bahkan merugikan.…”
