Little is known regarding how parents’ responses when first learning about their adolescents’ deviant peer affiliation affect adolescents’ further affiliation and disclosure of risk behavior to parents. Studies on the effects of parents’ warnings to control adolescents’ material or personal information resources are particularly scarce. To address these gaps, 237 Jewish Israeli adolescents who self-identified as interacting with deviant peers (40.50% female, mean age = 14.55 years, age range = 13–16 years) reported their mothers’ actual or anticipated responses when learning for the first time about their deviant peer affiliation. The results indicated that mothers’ warnings to control adolescents’ material and information resources were experienced as less frustrating and more satisfying of adolescents’ psychological needs than was mothers’ enactment of resource control. Mothers’ responses of autonomy support and warnings to use resource control were positively associated with cessation of deviant peer affiliation. Mothers’ enactment of resource control was associated with adolescents’ less disclosure and consultation with their mothers regarding risk behaviors, whereas the reverse was true for the general practice of autonomy support. Possible need-related mechanisms underlying the associations of warnings with the cessation of deviant peer affiliation are discussed. The results highlight the importance of parents’ autonomy-supportive response to the onset of deviant peer affiliation as a specific strategy that has benefits beyond the positive effects of the general practice of autonomy support. These findings suggest that it is important to promote an autonomy-supportive response to the onset of deviant peer affiliation also among parents who are generally autonomy-supportive.

对于父母在初次了解他们的青少年越过同伴关系时的反应如何影响青少年的进一步联系以及向父母披露风险行为，人们所知甚少。父母警告对控制青少年的物质或个人信息资源的影响的研究特别少。为了解决这些差距，有237名犹太人以色列人自我识别为与异端同伴互动（女性为40.50％，平均年龄= 14.55岁，年龄范围为13-16岁），在初次学习时报告了母亲的实际或预期的反应。是时候谈论他们异常的同伴关系了。结果表明，与母亲制定资源控制相比，母亲警告控制青少年的物质和信息资源的经历减少了挫折感，更加满足了青少年的心理需求。母亲对自治支持的反应和对使用资源控制的警告与停止偏离同伴关系正相关。母亲制定资源控制与青少年较少公开和与母亲就风险行为进行咨询有关，而对于自主性支持的一般做法则相反。讨论了警告关联与异常同伴关系的终止之间可能存在的与需求相关的机制。结果突出了父母对异常同伴关系的发作的自主支持反应的重要性，这是一种特殊的策略，其好处超出了自主支持的一般做法的积极作用。这些发现表明，重要的是在通常支持自主性的父母中，促进对异端同伴关系的发作的自主性支持反应。
