Most studies on autonomy support and controlling parenting rely on children’s perceptions, despite the limitations of this approach. This study investigated congruency between autonomy support and controlling parenting reported by mothers and adolescents and their association with adolescents’ depressive symptoms via basic psychological needs satisfaction. Participants included 408 Japanese mother–adolescent (M_age = 13.73, SD = 0.90, 52% female) pairs who completed a questionnaire at two time points four months apart. Results demonstrated low to moderate levels of mother–adolescent agreement. Cross-lagged regression models revealed that mothers’ reported autonomy support positively predicted adolescents’ basic psychological needs satisfactions, which was negatively associated with depressive symptoms. The independent roles of parenting reported by mothers and adolescents for adolescents’ well-being were discussed.

尽管这种方法有局限性，但大多数关于自主支持和控制养育的研究都依赖于儿童的感知。本研究调查了母亲和青少年报告的自主支持和控制养育之间的一致性，以及它们通过基本心理需求满足与青少年抑郁症状的关系。参与者包括 408 名日本青少年母亲（M_年龄 = 13.73，SD = 0.90，52% 女性）在相隔四个月的两个时间点完成问卷调查的配对。结果表明，母亲与青少年的一致性程度低至中等。交叉滞后回归模型显示，母亲报告的自主支持积极预测青少年的基本心理需求满意度，这与抑郁症状呈负相关。讨论了母亲和青少年报告的养育子女对青少年福祉的独立作用。
