Abstract

To examine the relationship between helicopter parenting and Millennials' personal and interpersonal problems, Millennials (N = 268) reported on their parents' helicopter parenting, parenting styles, and family communication patterns and their own neuroticism, interpersonal dependency, and coping efficacy. Results revealed helicopter parenting's positive associations with the authoritarian parenting style and conformity orientation and Millennials' neurotic tendencies, dependency on others, and ineffective coping skills. In addition, a new Helicopter Parenting Instrument (HPI) emerged as a viable alternative measure of this phenomenon. The implications of helicopter parenting's negative effects include dysfunctional family environments, Millennials' stunted development, and overburdened college campuses.

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.
