This review focuses on how the expression of parental autonomy support (particularly the promotion of independence and volitional functioning) and its impact on adolescent adjustment varies across cultural groups in the United States. We review history involving the conceptualization of parental autonomy support and its impact on adolescent development, discuss cross‐cultural research focused on the expression and impact of autonomy support, review theoretical perspectives suggesting the importance of studying variability in parental autonomy support across cultural groups, and summarize research conducted in the United States across four racial/ethnic groups: European American, African American, Latinx, and Asian American. Much of this research does not adequately reflect current understanding regarding the forms of autonomy support, nor is it grounded in theoretical perspectives recognizing the role of culture in shaping parental behaviors. We conclude by discussing directions for further research to overcome existing shortcomings in this literature.

青春期的自主支持性育儿：当代美国的文化差异

这篇评论的重点是在美国不同文化群体中，父母自治支持的表达方式（尤其是促进独立性和自主功能）及其对青少年适应的影响。我们回顾了涉及父母自治支持的概念化及其对青少年发展的影响的历史，讨论了以自治支持的表达和影响为重点的跨文化研究，回顾了提出研究跨文化群体父母自治支持中的可变性的重要性的理论观点，以及总结了美国在四个种族/族裔群体中进行的研究：欧洲裔美国人，非裔美国人，拉丁裔和亚裔美国人。这项研究中的许多内容并未充分反映出当前对自治支持形式的理解，它也没有基于理论观点，承认文化在塑造父母行为中的作用。最后，我们讨论了进一步研究的方向，以克服现有文献中的不足。
