Research has shown that autonomy-supportive parenting is associated with positive academic and socioemotional outcomes across childhood. Many studies have examined the correlates of parental autonomy support to understand who is most likely to be autonomy-supportive and under what conditions. The current systematic review synthesized findings from 63 studies that explored how sociodemographic, familial, parental, and situational factors are related to autonomy-supportive parenting. Results indicated that sociodemographic factors did not reliably predict autonomy support across studies. Parental factors, including socialization goals, need satisfaction, and mental health, were consistently linked with autonomy support. We propose a contextual model of autonomy support in which the associations between distal factors and autonomy-supportive parenting are mediated by parental factors, with situational factors moderating the relation between parental factors and autonomy support. Suggestions for future research include reconciling discrepant findings across different measurement approaches and considering how developmental timing influences the factors associated with autonomy-supportive parenting.

情境中的育儿：对自主支持相关因素的系统回顾

研究表明，支持自主的养育方式与整个童年时期积极的学业和社会情感成果有关。许多研究已经检查了父母自主支持的相关性，以了解谁最有可能在什么条件下支持自主。当前的系统评价综合了 63 项研究的结果，这些研究探讨了社会人口学、家庭、父母和情境因素如何与自主支持型育儿相关。结果表明，社会人口学因素不能可靠地预测跨研究的自主支持。父母因素，包括社会化目标、需求满足和心理健康，始终与自主支持相关。我们提出了一个自主支持的情境模型，其中远端因素和自主支持养育之间的关联由父母因素调节，情境因素调节父母因素和自主支持之间的关系。对未来研究的建议包括协调不同测量方法的差异发现，并考虑发育时机如何影响与自主支持育儿相关的因素。
