“…Peterson, Rollins, and Thomas (1985), furthermore, report that parental support positively influences compliance but not internalization of their conformity whereas parental reasoning positively influences both compliance and internalization. Another investigation by Barber, Chadwick, and Oerter (1992) finds that parental support significantly influences the self-esteem of girls and boys; parental reasoning, on the other hand, has only impact on girls' self-esteem. Swenson and Prelow (2005) concluded that supportive parenting has positive influence on both self-esteem and perceived efficacy.…”

“…Self-esteem is also considered an important indicator of the success with which one handles the developmental period of adolescence (Barber et al 1992). Thus far, research suggests parents are important influences on several child outcomes, but has yet to clearly establish if and how mothers and fathers jointly contribute to adolescent self-esteem.…”

We used data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to assess the independent and interactive correlations of maternal and paternal parenting with adolescent self-esteem. Specifically, ordinary least squares regression was used to provide estimates for a large, culturally diverse sample of married, biological parent-families with adolescent children. Our results suggested that adolescent reports of mothers' and fathers' physical availability, involvement, and quality of relations are each independently associated with adolescent self-esteem. In addition, statistically significant interactions indicated the positive associations of one parent's involvement and high quality relations with self-esteem grow stronger in the presence of high involvement and relationship quality of the second parent. Our study highlights the need to assess the independent and interactive associations parents have with the well-being of their children.

“…As well, there is evidence of a positive connection between supportive parenting and children's and adolescents' social competence (Domitrovich and Bierman 2001;Lamborn et al 1991;Leve and Fagot 1997). On the other hand, powerassertive and punitive parental behavior has been found to be associated with lower self-esteem (Barber et al 1992;Bronstein et al 1996;Gecas and Schwalbe 1986;Manscill and Rollins 1990) and more problematic social behavior (Hart et al 1990;Lamborn et al 1991;Mistry et al 2002). These findings provide support for the first part of a mediating relationship between earlier parenting and late adolescent moral courage.…”

“…There is ample research evidence that shows a positive connection between various types of supportive parenting and children's self-esteem in late childhood and adolescence (e.g., Barber et al 1992;Bronstein et al 1996;Mahew and Lempers 1998;Manscill and Rollins 1990). As well, there is evidence of a positive connection between supportive parenting and children's and adolescents' social competence (Domitrovich and Bierman 2001;Lamborn et al 1991;Leve and Fagot 1997).…”

The present study was designed to examine longitudinal predictors of moral courage in late adolescence. Supportive, responsive parenting, which was measured through home observations and family reports in the fifth grade year, predicted girls' willingness in late adolescence to speak up or take action when they witnessed or experienced injustice or harm. In contrast, parenting that was harsh and restrictive predicted both girls' and boys' later reticence in those circumstances. Further, the effects of earlier parenting were mediated by individual and peerrelated factors. Specifically, social competence with peers in fifth grade and self-esteem in twelfth grade mediated the effects of parenting on both moral courage and moral reticence for late adolescent girls, and self-esteem in fifth grade mediated the effects of parenting on moral reticence for late adolescent boys.
