ABSTRACT

Development as a configuration of personal and social conditions makes important to consider both sources of contribution to understand specific trends in adolescence. This study examined the role of adolescent autonomy in the relation between parenting and academic achievement. Two hundred and twenty-nine mothers and their adolescents (mean age=11.8; SD=0.93) were surveyed in a cross-sectional design with schools in Colombia, South America. Parenting practices evaluated include parental involvement, expression of affection, communication, and rule-setting; multidimensional autonomy covered cognitive, motivational, and social dimensions in the academic context; academic achievement included grades in Social Sciences, Mathematics, Language, and Natural Sciences. Data were analyzed by estimating structural equation models. Major findings indicate that parenting had indirect effects on academic achievement with the intervention of adolescent autonomy. Communication and parental expression of affection show the greater contribution of parenting to the explanatory model. Cognitive, motivational, and social dimensions of autonomy, in that order, contribute to explain academic achievement, where Social Sciences and Mathematics are the academic areas with major loads. Conclusions include an analysis of parenting practices studied and their relationship with adolescent behaviours and outcomes. Implications address the opportunities offered for the intervention and future studies.

摘要

将发展作为个人和社会条件的配置，重要的是要考虑两种贡献来源，以了解青春期的特定趋势。这项研究检验了青少年自治在育儿与学业成绩之间的关系。在南美哥伦比亚的一所学校的横断面设计中调查了229名母亲和青少年（平均年龄= 11.8； SD = 0.93）。评估的养育方式包括父母的参与，情感表达，沟通和规则制定；多维自主性涵盖了学术背景下的认知，动机和社会维度；学术成就包括社会科学，数学，语言和自然科学的成绩。通过估计结构方程模型分析数据。主要发现表明，在青少年自治的干预下，育儿对学业成绩有间接影响。交流和父母对情感的表达表明父母对解释模型的贡献更大。自治的认知，动机和社会维度按此顺序有助于解释学术成就，其中社会科学和数学是主要的学术领域。结论包括对所研究的养育方式及其与青少年行为和结局的关系的分析。含义涉及为干预和未来研究提供的机会。交流和父母对情感的表达表明父母对解释模型的贡献更大。自治的认知，动机和社会维度按此顺序有助于解释学术成就，其中社会科学和数学是主要的学术领域。结论包括对所研究的养育方式及其与青少年行为和结局的关系的分析。含义涉及为干预和未来研究提供的机会。交流和父母对情感的表达表明父母对解释模型的贡献更大。自治的认知，动机和社会维度按此顺序有助于解释学术成就，其中社会科学和数学是主要的学术领域。结论包括对所研究的养育方式及其与青少年行为和结局的关系的分析。含义涉及为干预和未来研究提供的机会。结论包括对所研究的养育方式及其与青少年行为和结局的关系的分析。含义涉及为干预和未来研究提供的机会。结论包括对所研究的养育方式及其与青少年行为和结局的关系的分析。含义涉及为干预和未来研究提供的机会。
