“…There has been a lack of focus in research on decision making styles or processes when considering individual decision making (Commendador 2011;Wolff and Crockett 2011;Galotti 2007;Parker et al 2007;Reyna and Farley 2006;Scott and Bruce 1995). Decision making research has also missed the complexities of social phenomena.…”

“…Often experimental research has largely been considered when examining decision making processes. However, this experimentation takes place within a laboratory setting where social phenomena are lacking; and it excludes therefore the real-life experience of the decision making process (Wolff and Crockett 2011). Thus, there is a variety of ways in which individuals make decisions.…”

“…Wolff and Crockett (2011) view the role of parents and parenting as critical in decision making, particularly when considering its influence on engagement in decision making. Parenting has been found to also nurture the development of certain decisional making styles in children and adolescents (Udell et al 2008).…”

Decision Making Styles: A Systematic Review of Their Associations with Parenting

Decision making is a task that individuals face on a daily basis. The process of making a decision differs from one person to another. The processes involved in making a decision are defined as decision making styles, which can be either adaptive or maladaptive. Children and adolescents' decision making, however, often is thought to be associated with parenting. This review examines and describes previous studies examining the associations between decision making styles and parenting approaches. It suggests that maladaptive decision making styles are the most prevalent, and that they often are associated with detrimental outcomes for children and adolescents' development. Maladaptive decision making styles also are associated with negative parenting approaches. The review reveals that western and non-western societies play an important role in shaping these associations; however, it also finds that age and gender do not play a significant role. The review highlights gaps in literature focusing on decision making and parenting, and the continents where little research has examined the associations presented. The review adds to current debates and knowledge on youth development by providing an understanding of decision making styles from an international perspective as well as from the important role that parents play.

Compared to childhood and adulthood, adolescence is a time of greater risk-taking behavior, potentially resulting in serious consequences. Theories of adolescent brain development highlight the imbalance between neural circuitry for reward vs. regulation. Although this imbalance may make adolescents more vulnerable to impaired decision-making in the context of heightened arousal, not all adolescents exhibit problematic risk behavior, suggesting other factors are involved. Relatedly, parent-adolescent conflict increases in mid-adolescence, and is linked to negative outcomes like substance use related risk-taking. However, the mechanism by which parent-adolescent conflict and risk-taking are linked is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated this association using a multi-method experimental design. Parent-adolescent dyads were randomly assigned to complete a discussion task together on the topic of either the adolescent's dream vacation or an adolescent-identified conflict topic. During the task, adolescent peripheral psychophysiology was measured for later calculation of heart rate variability (HRV), an index of self-regulation. Immediately after the discussion task, adolescents completed a performance-based measure of risk-taking propensity that indexes real-world risk behaviors. We hypothesized that parent-adolescent conflict would predict greater adolescent risk-taking propensity, and that increased behavioral arousal in the context of conflict, coupled with impaired self-regulation, would explain this link. Results indicated no direct effect of parent-adolescent conflict on adolescent risk-taking propensity. However, there was a significant conditional indirect effect: lower HRV, indexing worse regulatory ability, mediated the relation between conflict and risk-taking propensity but only for adolescents exhibiting behavioral arousal during the discussion task. We discuss implications for understanding adolescent risktaking behavior.
