This study aimed to explore the relationships among early adolescents’ perceived parental psychological control/autonomy support, self‐trouble, and internalizing problems as well as the potential gender differences in these relationships. Multiple‐group path analysis was performed on the data collected from 1,089 adolescents in Beijing junior high schools. Results revealed that parental psychological control (autonomy support) was associated with adolescents’ more (fewer) internalizing problems, and self‐trouble acted as a mediator in these two relationships. Moreover, only the indirect relationship between parental autonomy support and internalizing problems via self‐trouble was moderated by gender, with girls showing a little stronger indirect effect than boys, and specifically, it was the relationship between autonomy support and self‐trouble that existed gender differences, with girls showing higher coefficient than boys. The relationship between parental psychological control/autonomy support and early adolescents’ internalizing problems was discussed with regard to self‐trouble and gender differences.

“…Internalizing symptoms appear to be endorsed more strongly by girls than by boys (Hankin and Abramson 2001;Oliva et al 2014;van Oort et al 2009). Specifically, during adolescence, females are at peak risk for onset of depression: girls are two to three times more likely than boys to report depression, a gender difference that persists throughout the life span (Hankin et al 1998).…”

“…Indeed, risk factors for internalizing problems occur at multiple levels and contexts, including adolescent-specific factors (e.g., genetics, temperament, and negative emotionality), insecure parent attachment (e.g., Groh et al 2012;Madigan et al 2013), parenting practices (e.g., parental rejection or overcontrol), parents' psychopathology, stressful life events (e.g., Pine et al 2002;Sheeber et al 2001Sheeber et al , 2007 and macro-level contexts such as culture and socioeconomic opportunities. In addition to considering multiple influences on internalizing symptoms, it will be also important to consider factors that may moderate and/or mediate the relation of peer attachment quality with internalizing problems (*Kullik and Petermann 2013; Oliva et al 2014). …”

Background: Peer relationships become the central arena in which attachment processes are likely to play out during adolescence and beyond, and contribute to various aspects of psychosocial adjustment. Objective: Given the relevance of peer connections and the growing literature examining them, the purpose of this article was to review, through a meta-analytic approach, the evidence of the links of youth close peer relationships with internalizing problems within the theoretical framework of attachment. Methods: Journal articles were searched in PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, ERIC, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases; in journals most likely to publish papers on peer attachment; and in reference lists of selected papers. Thirty-six studies were included in the meta-analysis. Results: The findings showed significant moderate correlations between peer attachment and anxiety, depression, and internalizing problems. Additional analyses indicated that the dimensions of attachment more strongly related to depression were alienation and trust, whereas peer communication was weakly related to depression. Findings were characterized by significant heterogeneity across studies that was partially explained by the results of moderator analyses. Conclusions: This study suggests that secure peer attachment might make young people less vulnerable to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Insecure peer attachment, on the other hand, is associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing internalizing symptomatology. Additionally, this study shows the moderating effect of gender suggesting that peer attachment is more strongly related to depressive symptoms in adolescent girls

“…Although, the role of fathers has been less frequently explored, some authors have reported an adverse impact of the father commenting on their daughters' body shape and weight and eating behaviors (Keery, Boutelle, van den Berg, & Thompson, 2005), or on their sons' muscularity (McCreary, 2012). Alongside parents, peers become of high relevance for the psychological functioning and overall behavior during adolescence (Oliva, Parra, & Reina, 2014;Story et al, 2002). Alongside parents, peers become of high relevance for the psychological functioning and overall behavior during adolescence (Oliva, Parra, & Reina, 2014;Story et al, 2002).…”

Objective: This prospective study explored bidirectional associations between attachment quality towards mother, father, and peers and disordered eating among a large population-based sample of boys and girls in the transition from preadolescence to adolescence. Specifically, we examined whether insecure attachment relationships emerged as a risk factor for or as an outcome of disordered eating.Method: A population-based sample of 904 adolescent girls and boys was assessed four times, at baseline (T1; M age = 10.8 years) and at 2-, 4-, and 6-year follow-up (T2, T3, and T4). Prospective data were analyzed using cross-lagged panel models for each attachment figure (i.e., mother, father, peers) in a multigroup design to compare genders.Results: Better attachment to the mother led to less pronounced disturbed eating in girls across the entire age range and in boys across two time periods. In girls, more pronounced disordered eating at T3 predicted worse attachment to the mother at T4 and better attachment to the father at T1 predicted less disturbed eating at T2. In boys, disordered eating at T1 predicted better attachment to the father at T2. Concerning peer attachment, better attachment at T1 predicted disordered eating at T2, in boys only. No other significant cross-lagged effects emerged.Discussion: These findings highlight the differential and gender-specific contribution of attachment figures to the development of disordered eating in adolescence. Programs aimed at improving communication and trust in the relationship with parents might be promising in the prevention of disordered eating and the subsequent deterioration of parent-child attachment relationships.
