“…However, many studies examining proactive control have found correlations with prosocial behavior (e.g., Krevans & Gibbs, 1996; Wang et al, 2007), which is not the same as the absence of problem behavior. Future research should acknowledge different forms of behavioral control, especially focusing on the understudied concept of proactive parenting (Padilla-Walker, Christensen, & Day, 2011).…”

Parents’ and Adolescents’ Perspectives on Parenting

Uncertainty persists regarding adequate measurement of parenting behavior during early adolescence. The present study aimed to clarify the conceptual structure of parenting by evaluating three different models that include support, psychological control, and various types of behavioral control (i.e., proactive, punitive, and harsh punitive control). Furthermore, we examined measurement invariance of parenting ratings by 1,111 Flemish adolescents from Grade 7 till 9, their mother, and father. Finally, criterion validity of parenting ratings was estimated in relation to adolescent problem behavior. Results supported a five-factor parenting model indicating multiple aspects of behavioral control, with punitive and harsh punitive control as more intrusive forms and proactive control as a more supportive form. Similar constructs were measured for adolescents, mothers, and fathers (i.e., configural and metric invariance), however on a different scale (i.e., scalar noninvariance). Future research and clinical practices should acknowledge these findings in order to fully grasp the parenting process.

“…Families were interviewed in their homes, with each interview consisting of a video task (not reported here) and questionnaires completed by the child, mother, and father. Our overall response rate of eligible families (families in the database with a child between the ages of 10 and 14) at Time 1 was 61% (for more information on the procedures and sample, see Padilla‐Walker, Christensen, & Day, 2011).…”

The present study was designed to examine the links between economic strain, parental depression, parent -child connectedness, and adolescents' prosocial behaviors. The sample consisted of 478 participants (M age at Time 1 5 11.29 years, 51% male) recruited from the community who were mostly of European American descent (69%) and from mostly middle to upper SES families. At Time 1 parents completed measures of their own income and economic stress, depression, and connectedness with their child. At Time 1 adolescents reported on connectedness with both their mother and father. At Time 2 (1 year later) adolescents reported on their own prosocial behavior toward strangers, friends, and family. Structural equation model tests showed that economic strain was related positively to parental depressive symptoms, which in turn predicted lower levels of parent -child connectedness, which in turn positively predicted adolescents' prosocial behaviors. Discussion focuses on the family context of adolescents' positive behavioral outcomes.

“…The effects were also relatively small in nature, which may be the result of the methodology used in the current study. Parents use a variety of approaches when monitoring the media, with meaningful differences (e.g., autonomy supportive vs. restrictive) potentially being captured in one broad category of media monitoring (Padilla-Walker, Christensen, & Day, 2011;Valkenburg et al, 2013). Media monitoring also occurs in the context of the overall parentechild relationship, which might vary considerably.…”

The current study examined longitudinal relations between parental media monitoring and adolescent behavior, and explored indirect effects via sympathy and self-regulation. A sample of adolescents and their mothers from Northwestern and Mountain West cities in the USA participated in a study at three time points, approximately one year apart (N ¼ 681; M age of child at Time 3 ¼ 13.33, SD ¼ 1.06; 51% female; 73% European American, 9% African American, 17% Multi-ethnic). Though findings varied by reporter, results suggested that restrictive and active media monitoring were indirectly associated with adolescents' prosocial behavior, aggression, and externalizing behavior, with restrictive monitoring being somewhat maladaptive and active monitoring adaptive. The discussion focuses on the need to examine multiple aspects of media monitoring, and highlights implications of findings for parents.
