Parenting Styles and Internalizing Symptoms in Adolescence: A Systematic Literature Review

“…After removing duplicates, a first screening based on title and abstracts resulted in 167 articles. Finally, after a full-text read-through, 59 studies [31,36,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98] were selected for inclusion (see Table 5).…”

“…Sample size ranged from 27 [65] to 71,891 [36], with a median of 445 participants. The proportion of females in the samples ranged between 0% [89] and 92.7% [88], with a median of 52%.…”

“…Behavioural control showed an inverse association of a small effect size with depression in adolescents (median −0.02), with coefficients ranging between −0.53 ([88], in a sample of adolescents hospitalized for a suicide attempt) and −0.03. This parenting practice was only weakly associated with anxiety (median −0.03), with coefficients ranging between −0.19 [85] and 0.07.…”

“…Therefore, several primary studies have also pointed out the importance of such results, despite the effect sizes found [8,122]. In this respect, it is worth noting that some of the studies included in this systematic review, which report the largest effect sizes, have involved clinical samples of young people, for example, adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease [65], adolescents who have assaulted their parents [50], or adolescents hospitalized following a suicide attempt [88]. This suggests that it is in these kinds of populations where adequate parenting practices may have a greater protective effect in relation to adolescent wellbeing.…”

Apoyo parental, psicopatología e ideación suicida

“…A la importancia de los factores clínicos asociados al riesgo de suicidio adolescente, se suma la influencia de factores psicosociales, como las dinámicas familiares. La influencia de estas en la conducta suicida ha sido poco estudiada (Donath et al, 2014;Sharaf et al, 2016;Zaborskis et al, 2016). El apoyo de los padres es una de las dimensiones con que tradicionalmente la investigación ha caracterizado al estilo parental y es definida como las actitudes y acciones parentales que intencionalmente fomentan la individualidad, la autorregulación y la autoafirmación de los hijos.…”
