“…Thus, experiences with caring male adults during childhood, irrespective of biological status, influenced young men's internal working models of others that, in turn, predicted men's engagement in multiple sexual partnerships. These results accord with recent findings documenting how fathering behavior during childhood influences men's romantic relationships in young adulthood (Karre 2015) as well as how sexual risk behaviors are related to beliefs about one's partner and romantic relationship (Waldrop-Valverde et al 2013).…”

This study was designed to examine the associations of biological father and social father involvement during childhood with African American young men's development and engagement in risk behaviors. With a sample of 505 young men living in the rural South, a dual mediation model was tested in which retrospective reports of involvement from biological fathers and social fathers were linked to young men's substance misuse and multiple sexual partnerships through men's relational schemas and future expectations. Results from structural equation modeling indicated that levels of involvement from biological fathers and social fathers predicted young men's relational schemas; only biological fathers' involvement predicted future expectations. In turn, future expectations predicted levels of substance misuse, and negative relational schemas predicted multiple sexual partnerships. Biological fathers' involvement evinced significant indirect associations with young men's substance misuse and multiple sexual partnerships through both schemas and expectations; social fathers' involvement exhibited an indirect association with multiple sexual partnerships through relational schemas. Findings highlight the unique influences of biological fathers and social fathers on multiple domains of African American young men's psychosocial development that subsequently render young men more or less likely to engage in risk behaviors.

“…Avoidance and, above all, attachment anxiety in romantic relationships are also linked to perceived family control. Indeed, the highest Beta values in the regression equation that predicted anxiety were obtained for behavioural and psychological control, and other studies have demonstrated the negative association which exists between parental control and healthy romantic relationships [29, 33, 36], as well as the link between control and conflict in these same relationships [38]. Controlling parents who continue to supervise how their adult children spend their money or with whom they go out (behavioural control), or who use emotional blackmail to ensure that they continue to abide by their rules (psychological control), could cause their children to develop a negative self-image, conveying the idea that they cannot trust themselves and are incapable of taking charge of their lives, thereby fostering anxiety in their interpersonal relationships.…”

“…This contradiction may partly be due to the difference between behavioural and psychological control. It seems that when the control exercised by parents is psychological in nature, i.e., is a more intrusive type of control aimed at manipulating young people's thoughts and feelings [37], its influence on romantic relationships is negative during adolescence [38] and is maintained during emerging adulthood [29, 38, 39].…”

Why are undergraduate emerging adults anxious and avoidant in their romantic relationships? The role of family relationships

The exploration of and search for romantic relationships is one of the developmental tasks that characterise emerging adulthood, a new developmental phase halfway between adolescence and full adulthood. This study aims to explore, in a Mediterranean country, the existing relationships between the subjective perception of some parental behaviour and the anxiety and avoidance dimensions of attachment during emerging adulthood. To do so, 1,502 university students (903 women and 599 men) aged between 18 and 29 (M = 20.32 and SD = 2.13) completed a self-report questionnaire. The results revealed that perceived family support and perceived parental warmth were negatively associated with the avoidance and anxiety dimensions. In contrast, perceived parental control (both behavioural and psychological) was found to be positively associated with both attachment dimensions. Perceived behavioural control was also found to play a moderator role between perceived parental warmth and romantic attachment anxiety. Only in cases in which emerging adults of our sample perceived low levels of behavioural control was warmth found to be negatively associated with anxiety. The main conclusion of this work is the negative impact that parental control seems to have on romantic attachment during emerging adulthood. The results are discussed with a focus on the continuing importance of the family context in relation to the completion of developmental tasks, even during emerging adulthood.

“…Parental responsiveness consistently affects adolescent romantic relationships, but the link between parental demandingness and romantic relationships has had mixed research results. Karre (2015) found that more parental control associated with more conflicts in romantic relationships. However, some other studies showed that parental monitoring and behavioral control can promote higher satisfaction and prevent victimization and relational aggression in adolescent romantic relationships (Auslander et al, 2009; Leadbeater, Banister, Ellis, & Yeung, 2008).…”

Introduction: This study examined associations among the perceived parenting, self-concept, and adolescent attitudes of Chinese adolescents regarding romantic relationships. Methods: A survey of 729 high school students in Macau was carried out to collect information on the degree to which they perceived their fathers and mothers as demanding or responsive, their general self-concept, and their attitudes about romantic relationships. Results: Structural equation modeling showed that maternal and paternal responsiveness positively associated with adolescents' self-concept, which then positively contributed to their attitudes about romantic relationships. Maternal demandingness could link directly to positive adolescent attitudes about romantic relationships and indirectly to negative self-concept. Conclusions: The present study's findings suggest that perceived maternal parenting may be more important than perceived paternal parenting regarding adolescents' romantic attitudes, and parental responsiveness is particularly critical to positive self-concept and positive romantic attitudes in Chinese culture. Perceived parenting, self-concept, and attitudes about romantic relationshipsCurrent researchers adopt a contextual framework and emphasize inter-individual influences, including the influence of parents, on the emergence of romance during adolescence (
