Mothers' Management of Adolescent Peer Relationships: Associations With Aggressive, Prosocial, and Playful Behavior

Abstract

The authors examined the relation between adolescents' reports of mothers' management of peer relationships and adolescents' reports of their own aggressive, prosocial, and playful behaviors. The sample comprised 92 adolescents (M age = 15.41 years, SD = 1.81 years) enrolled in a residential summer camp. Higher levels of consulting were related to lower levels of adolescents' relational aggression, physical aggression, playful teasing, and rough-and-tumble play. Higher levels of consulting were related to higher levels of prosocial behavior. Higher levels of guiding were related to higher levels of adolescents' relational aggression and social inclusion. Higher levels of granting access to peers were related to higher levels of adolescents' prosocial behavior and social inclusion. Moderate levels of granting access to peers were related higher levels of playful teasing.

Factors influencing the development of empathy and pro-social behaviour among adolescents: A systematic review

“…Additionally, a small number of studies provided evidence to suggest that adolescents' popularity or social status among their peers was associated with prosocial responding. More specifically, this research suggests that more 'popular' or 'socially preferred' adolescents tend to engage in higher levels of prosocial responding (Albanesi et al, 2007;Gerardy et al, 2015;Pakaslanti et al, 2002;Pattiselanno et al, 2015 ;Sadhra et al, 2015). In keeping with this trend, evidence from three longitudinal studies also supported a link between popularity and prosocial responding (Berger & Rodkin, 2011;Van Rijeswik et al 2016;Wright, 2014).…”

“…Of these individual papers, six studies reported that greater levels of parent-child connection or attachment correlated positively with prosocial responding (Coyne et al, 2010;2013;Eberly & Montemayor, 1998;Nie, Li & Vazsonyi, 2016) and empathy (Thompson & Gullone, 2008;You et al, 2015), with one longitudinal study observing a positive relationship between attachment quality and prosocial behaviour toward parents over time (Eberly & Montermayor 1999). Several (n=6 correlational; n=10 longitudinal) studies also provided evidence to suggest that democratic, authoritative parenting styles, characterised by warm, responsive, supportive and open communication practices are also linked with higher levels of prosocial behaviour (Carlo et al, 2007;2017;Eberly & Montermayor 1999;Gerardy et al, 2015;Harper et al, 2014;Karmarkar & Ghosh, 2012;Kerestes, 2006;Lawford, Doyle & Markiewicz, 2012;Padilla-Walker et al, 2012;2014b;2015a;Van Goethem et al, 2014) and empathic responding (Adams et al, 1982;Fousiani et al, 2016;Harper et al, 2014;Miklikowska & Hume, 2011;Padilla-Walker et al, 2014b;Van Der Graff et al, 2012). However, some inconsistencies in these trends were observed.…”

Longitudinal Predictors of Helicopter Parenting in Emerging Adulthood

“…It is well established that when parents support their children’s developing autonomy, better outcomes exist such as overall adjustment (Rodríguez et al, 2019), prosocial behavior (Gerardy et al, 2015), and emotional regulation (Brenning et al, 2017). Conversely, intrusive and controlling parenting tends to be associated with more negative adjustment throughout development (e.g., Nelson et al, 2011; Olsen et al, 2002; Pettit et al, 1996).…”

Role structure of cadets with different social adaptability level

“…В свою очередь роли трикстера и ведьмы спонтанны, непредсказуемы, независимы, импульсивны, испытывают стремление к нарушению общественных норм и правил эксплуатируют противоположный полюс командной роли -неформального лидера, отличающегося амбициозностью, азартностью, раздражительностью, чаще всего не способны довести задуманное до логического конца. H. Gerardy et al [17] в результате исследования определили, что межличностное взаимодействие у юношей в рамках соответствующих гендерных ролей обуславливает высокий уровень просоциального поведения, а также хорошей социальной интеграцией в группу. С точки зрения D. M. Hatmaker [19], включенность индивида в группу посредством освоения и трансляции принятых в данной группе ролей, позволяет быстро интегрировать знания, навыки и ценности, необходимые для того, чтобы стать членами организации.…”
