This longitudinal study addressed these gaps using a Chinese sample of 310 adolescents (158 girls; M = 13.34, SD = 0.36) and their parents. Adolescents reported depression and resilience and dyads reported parenting. The latent difference scores analysis showed higher psychological control and lower autonomy support perceived by adolescents than parents and larger parent-boy discrepancies in psychological control. Psychological control discrepancies predicted higher adolescents' depression and autonomy support discrepancies predicted lower boys' depression. The results suggest that parent-adolescent discrepant perceptions of different parenting behaviors predict adolescents' adjustment via different processes, which vary for boys and girls. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
