Abstract

Employing existing adolescent-report measures of perceptions of parenting corresponding to autonomy granting as the promotion of independence (PI), the promotion of volitional functioning (PVF), and psychological control, we observed, amongst 97 adolescents, aged 13–17 years, that perceptions of maternal and paternal PVF were significantly negatively associated with both anxiety and depression, whereas PI was significantly associated with only anxiety (and not depression) for only perceptions of maternal (and not paternal) parenting. Perceptions of both maternal and paternal PVF accounted for unique variance in anxiety beyond that accounted for by PI; only perceptions of maternal (not paternal) PVF accounted for unique variance in depression. Perceptions of maternal and paternal controlling parenting accounted for unique variance in depression but not anxiety, suggesting that adolescent anxiety might be more strongly related to perceived parental PVF and adolescent depression to perceived psychological control. Finally, parenting correlates of PVF, PI, and psychological control differed for mothers and fathers of adolescents.

摘要

采用现有的青少年报告测量与自主授予相对应的育儿观念作为独立性 (PI) 的促进、意志功能 (PVF) 的促进和心理控制，我们观察到，在 97 名 13-17 岁的青少年中，母亲和父亲 PVF 的看法与焦虑和抑郁显着负相关，而 PI 仅与母亲（而不是父亲）养育的看法的焦虑（而不是抑郁）显着相关。对母亲和父亲 PVF 的看法解释了焦虑的独特差异，超出了 PI 解释的差异；只有对母亲（而非父亲）PVF 的看法才能解释抑郁症的独特差异。对母亲和父亲控制养育的看法是抑郁而非焦虑的独特差异，这表明青少年焦虑可能与感知的父母 PVF 和青少年抑郁与感知的心理控制更密切相关。最后，青少年母亲和父亲的 PVF、PI 和心理控制的育儿相关性不同。
