“…In this regard, it is an important psychological resource (Zhao et al, 2022). Given the high attrition rates caused by the stress of change and new obstacles, resilience is particularly crucial for emerging adults who are transitioning to university (Dorrance Hall et al, 2021; Johnson et al, 2015). These students frequently encounter difficulties at university, including adapting to changes in the environment, meeting academic requirements and expectancies, establishing new, meaningful relationships with people, and growing individual responsibility (Gansemer‐Topf et al, 2014).…”

“…Parenting attitudes are one of the significant factors in developing and strengthening resilience (Dorrance Hall et al, 2021; Zakeri et al, 2010; Zhong et al, 2016). For instance, Zakeri et al (2010) revealed that the parenting style of acceptance and involvement positively predicts resilience.…”

“…However, not all parenting styles are similar. HP has been found to be negatively correlated with resilience in college students (Dorrance Hall et al, 2021). Helicopter parents inhibit their children from developing effective coping and decision‐making abilities since they rarely allow them the opportunity to deal with their problems by themselves (Evans & Karl, 2022; Jung et al, 2020; Kouros et al, 2017).…”

Helicopter parenting has received much attention in the last decade. The growing literature on this phenomenon illustrates the negative consequences of helicopter parenting. The detrimental effects of helicopter parenting on emerging adults may be especially more present in collectivist cultures. Studies carried out with this population have demonstrated that mental health problems among this group are more prevalent than those of other groups. Hence, an understanding of the factors affecting mental health at this age is critical. The deleterious effects of helicopter parenting on mental health among emerging adults are well‐documented. However, there is a lack of literature investigating the mediating role of resilience between helicopter parenting and mental health issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress). To bridge this gap, we collected data from 402 emerging adults (M = 21.31, SD = 2.01). Our results revealed that although helicopter parenting was a risk factor for several indicators of mental health among emerging adults, resilience mitigates the potential detrimental effect of helicopter parenting.

“…These can limit their problem-solving abilities and effort levels, resulting in poorer adjustment results and emotional issues (Reed et al, 2016 ). Third, excessive parenting may impact children’s self-control and psychological resilience (Reilly & Semkovska, 2018 ) and make it difficult for them to regulate their emotions when issues happen (Dorrance Hall et al, 2021 ).…”

Although evidence suggests that helicopter parenting causes emotional problems in emerging adults, how emotional problems in emerging adults affect helicopter parenting and the mediating role of autonomy in reciprocal relationships is little known. Therefore, this study collected data from 418 Chinese university students (80.1% female; M age = 18.71, SD = 1.15) three times (in the second, fourth, and fourteenth months after enrollment) about perceived helicopter parenting, emotional issues (anxiety and depressive symptoms), and autonomy. The results of the cross-lagged panel models showed that emotional problems in emerging adults predicted the later assessment of helicopter parenting, the reverse relationship between the two variables was not the case. Emerging adults’ emotional issues at Time 1 reduced their autonomy at Time 2, leading to increased helicopter parenting behaviors at Time 3. However, helicopter parenting at Time 1 did not affect emerging adults’ autonomy at Time 2, which also had no relation to their emotional problems at Time 3. These findings suggest that helicopter parenting is more likely a reaction to maladjustment in emerging adults than an influencing factor. The research clarifies changes in parent-child interactions during the transition to adulthood and will help promote the adaptation of emerging adults in college.
