“…Our results also indicated a less strong decrease (or stronger increase given that we also found individual differences in change) in autonomy support of fathers in high SES families compared to low-mid SES families. This finding is in line with previous studies showing that autonomy is valued especially among high SES Turkish families living in urban areas [36,38]. Furthermore, although we did not detect an average decline in the autonomy support of mothers, female university students indicated a stronger decline (or weaker increase for some) in the autonomy support of their mothers than male university students.…”

“…Turkey has a family-oriented culture, yet Turkish families in urban settings present a unique context in which both individualistic values, such as autonomy, and collectivistic values, such as family ties, are important [36]. In urban areas, Turkish mothers are seen as the primary caregivers, but they are also increasingly participating in the workforce [36]. Turkish fathers in urban areas are less disciplinarian and more authoritative than fathers in rural areas [37].…”

“…We expected to find a negative association between changes in satisfaction and conflict with parents and a positive association with parental warmth and parental autonomy support (H8). We did not formulate specific hypotheses regarding differences in the associations between changes in well-being and changes in mother and father relationship qualities separately, but we explored whether the associations between these changes differed based on the present literature indicating differences in parenting styles of mothers and father [14,36].…”

This prospective study examined changes in parent–child relationship quality and well-being during the transition to university. We also investigated whether living situation (i.e., moving out of the parental home) and motivation to leave home were related to these changes. The participants were 240 Turkish university students (65.4% female; Mage = 17.74 (0.53) at Time 1) participating in two measurement waves from 2017 to 2019. Results of Latent Change Score Models revealed that both autonomy support of fathers and perceived stress decreased over time, while other parent–child relationship qualities and life satisfaction remain relatively stable on average. First-year university students who left home showed less decline in stress than those still living at home. We did not find living situation and motivation to leave home to moderate changes in parent–child relationship quality and well-being. Furthermore, we found bidirectional associations mainly between parent–child relationship quality and life satisfaction and between conflict with mother and stress. These findings underline the importance of considering the changes in parent–child relationship quality and well-being in the transition to university in a family-oriented culture.

The current research explored the dyadic relationships between general psychological distress (GPD) and coparenting dimensions (cooperation, conflict, triangulation) through the mediation of couple satisfaction among parents with young children. The sample comprised 184 heterosexual couples (184 mothers, 184 fathers, age range from 25 to 57 years) married for 10 years on average. The actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) and APIM Mediation Model analyses demonstrated significant relationships between mothers' and fathers' GPD and all three of their own coparenting dimensions (direct actor effects), also through their own couple satisfaction (indirect actor–actor effects). Additionally, mothers' GPD had direct effects on fathers' coparenting cooperation (partner effect). Fathers' GPD had significant indirect effects on all dimensions of mothers' coparenting through mothers' couple satisfaction (partner–actor effects), plus on mothers' coparenting triangulation through fathers' couple satisfaction (actor–partner effect). Findings were in line with Family System Theory and consistent with prior research. Clinical implications were discussed.

This study investigated the impact of parental sensitivity on emerging adults' psychological well-being. Using a moderated mediation model, it explored how adjustment (prosocial and aggressive behavior) mediates the association between perceived parental sensitivity and psychological well-being of emerging adults. Additionally, residential mobility was examined as a moderator in the relationship between parental sensitivity and adjustment. A sample of 445 emerging adults ( M age = 21.46, SDage = 2.33) reported the number of their past moves and rated their parents’ sensitivity, their adjustment, and their psychological well-being. Results revealed that high maternal sensitivity positively predicted psychological well-being through increased prosocial behavior. This indirect relationship was significant only among individuals with lower levels of residential mobility. This pattern was not observed with paternal sensitivity, and the model yielded insignificant results for aggressive behavior. These findings highlight the significance of early maternal sensitivity in influencing the adjustment and psychological well-being of emerging adults.
