Parental Socialization and Development of Chinese Youths: A Multivariate and Comparative Approach

“…Moreover, albeit limited in number, certain recent empirical studies supported beneficial impacts of positive family processes on youth development [3,8,9]. In this study, positive family processes indicate intimate relationships, efficient communications, mutual support and harmonious climate existing in the home environment that are favorable for healthy youth development [7,10]. Pertinently, the earliest work conducted by Brody, Stoneman and Flor [16] showed that effective family processes positively contributed to youths’ development of self-regulation that in turn predicted their better academic competence and lower internalizing and externalizing problems.…”

“…Consonantly, recent research revealed that parental socialization is a multifaceted concept comprising of not only parenting behaviors but also family processes. Manifestly, parenting practices refer to the ways, instructions and rearing methods that parents adopted to socialize their offspring, which are hence more directive and hierarchical embedded in parent-child interactions [10,13]. However, family processes mean the general relational quality, communication patterns and home climate that parents cultivated and established within the family realm as an overall socialization atmosphere, which is thus more reciprocal and interdependent in terms of parent-child relationships [8,9].…”

In sum, both parenting practices and family processes have been empirically proved to affect youth development profoundly, for which authoritative parenting and positive family processes are two parental socialization facets beneficially contributing to youth development [2,6,10,13].…”

“…Nevertheless, prior family studies generally considered parenting practices as tantamount to parental socialization, ignoring its multifaceted nature [5,6]. Recent pertinent research pointed out that parental socialization is a multi-dimensional construct, including both parenting practices and family processes [7,8,9,10]. On the other hand, although empirical research supported beneficial effects of authoritative parenting and positive family processes on youth development [6,7,10], some researchers cast skepticism on their salutary contributions to Chinese youths in parallel as more hierarchical parent-child relationships and disciplinarian parental socialization prevailed in Chinese culture [4,11].…”

Furthermore, youth development involves multiple aspects of cognitive, psychological and behavioral changes synchronously [10,12]. However, extant research predominantly examined only one or two youth outcomes in a single study [1,2,5], which hence tends to overlook diverse and interrelated aspects of youth development.…”
