  • Title: Maternal and paternal parenting during adolescence: forecasting early adult psychosocial adjustment.
    Author: Jones DJ, Forehand R, Beach SR.
    Journal: Adolescence; 2000; 35(139):513-30. PubMed ID: 11130595.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the relationship of maternal and paternal parenting behavior (acceptance and firm control) during adolescence to four domains of early adult functioning (internalizing problems, externalizing problems, prosocial competence, and cognitive competence). Twenty-one females and 29 males from intact families, along with their mothers and fathers, participated. Assessments were conducted in adolescence and early adulthood, separated by approximately five and one-half years. Higher levels of maternal firm control during adolescence were associated with more secure early adult romantic attachment and lower levels of educational achievement. There were no main effects for fathers, but paternal parenting behavior interacted with maternal parenting behavior to predict both early adult romantic attachment and delinquency. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
