Abstract

This study examined associations between perceived degree and style of parental prohibition and adolescents' internalization of and oppositional defiance against parental rules in the friendship and moral domain. Relations were investigated in 2 longitudinal adolescent samples (total N = 532). Results indicated that perceived style but not degree of prohibition related to overtime changes in internalization and oppositional defiance. Specifically, in line with self-determination theory, autonomy-supportive and controlling styles of prohibiting were found to relate differentially to quality of internalization and oppositional defiance. Cross-lagged analyses indicated that several of these associations were reciprocal. The discussion focuses on the critical role of perceived parental style for communicating prohibitions.

  • The associations obtained likely reflect a bidirectional process, with controlling parenting also being triggered by adolescents' reactance.

    “the associations obtained likely reflect a bidirectional process, with controlling parenting, for instance, also being triggered by adolescents' reactance (Vansteenkiste et al., 2014).”

    From Rebels With a Cause? Adolescent Defiance From the Perspective of Reactance Theory and Self-Determination Theory (2015) · cites this paper as Vansteenkiste et al., 2014

    The General Discussion describes the associations as bidirectional, and The Present Research proposes that adolescents’ defiance may elicit controlling parental responses. But the Cross-Lagged Analyses report that defiance predicted decreases in autonomy support, not increases in control. The claimed trigger for controlling parenting is therefore a proposed mechanism, not an obtained association in this paper. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • People can get trapped in a negative vicious cycle, with children's disaffection and defiance eroding socializers' need supportiveness or eliciting more need-thwarting responses.

    “Much as such a positive spiral can unfold over time, people can also get trapped in a negative vicious cycle, with children's disaffection and defiance eroding socializers' need supportiveness (e.g., Vansteenkiste et al. 2014) or eliciting more need-thwarting responses (e.g., Jang et al. 2016a;Soenens et al. 2008).”

  • A controlling communication of prohibitions predicted increases in middle adolescents' oppositional defiance against these prohibitions one year later.

    “Indeed, Vansteenkiste, Soenens, Van Petegem, and Duriez (2014) found that a controlling communication of prohibitions predicted increases in middle adolescents' oppositional defiance against these prohibitions one year later.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
