What is the difference between helping a teenager imagine a future and deciding it for them?
This article examines how adolescent future orientation and parental psychological control relate to later internalizing concerns. It offers a point of comparison for parents weighing useful structure against pressure that can crowd out a young person’s own judgement.
Who was studied?
Adolescents from nine countries followed into young adulthood, including the pandemic period.
Age / stage: Adolescence into young adulthood
Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how adolescent future orientation and parental psychological control relate to later internalizing concerns?
- Which measurements came first, and what changes between waves could also explain the pattern?
- How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is adolescents from nine countries followed into young adulthood, including the pandemic period.
Keep the limits in view
Following families over time helps establish the order of measurements. Other changing experiences could still account for the associations.
