Abstract

Although autonomy-supportive parenting yields manifold benefits for adolescents' development, there is a dearth of research addressing the question of whether adolescents reap the benefits of this parenting style, irrespective of their personality.Accordingly, this study examined whether associations between perceived maternal autonomy support and adolescent well-being depend on adolescents' dispositional motivational orientations.Further, we examined whether associations between perceived maternal autonomy support and wellbeing are accounted for by adolescents' subjective experiences of goodness of fit.A multi-informant three-wave longitudinal study (N = 198 at T1, 51% female, M age = 15 years) was used, allowing for an analysis of the associations both at the level of between-person differences and within-person changes.Adolescents' motivational orientations did not moderate associations between maternal autonomy support and well-being.Multilevel structural equation modeling showed that experiences of goodness of fit played an intervening role in associations between maternal autonomy support and adjustment.The discussion focuses on different meanings of the goodness-of-fit concept.Research increasingly demonstrates that autonomy-supportive parenting, which refers to parents' support of children's volitional functioning, is related to positive developmental outcomes in children and adolescents (Joussemet, Landry, & Koestner, 2008;Soenens, Deci, & Vansteenkiste, 2017).Autonomy support refers to the degree to which parents create conditions for adolescents This content downloaded from 157.193.4.

  • Inherent to the practice of need support is that socializing agents take both personal characteristics and situational circumstances into account to maximize participants' need-satisfying experiences.

    “That is, inherent to the practice of need support is that socializing agents take both personal characteristics (e.g., personality, preferences) and situational circumstances into account to maximize participants' need-satisfying experiences (Mabbe et al. 2020;Mageau et al. 2017).”

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.
