  • Title: Parental pressure, self-esteem and adolescent reported deviance: bending the twig too far.
    Author: Eskilson A, Wiley MG, Muehlbauer G, Dodder L.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1986; 21(83):501-15. PubMed ID: 3812058.
    Abstract:
    Questionnaire responses from upper-status junior and senior high school students show the importance of perceived parental pressure in understanding adolescent self-esteem and deviant behavior. Adolescents who feel unduly pressured to achieve and succeed in school also are likely to have low self-esteem, to report deviant activity, and to feel they are incapable of reaching the goals set for them by their families.
