How might my teenager learn to respond to their own disappointment kindly?

The focus here is perceived parenting, self-compassion and depressive symptoms.

Who was studied?

1,839 adolescents recruited from two schools in Guangdong, China

Age / stage: Secondary school

Read with three questions

  1. How did the authors investigate perceived parenting, self-compassion and depressive symptoms?
  2. Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
  3. How much do the parenting, self-compassion and symptom questionnaires rely on the same student’s account?

Keep the limits in view

Students came from two schools in one Chinese city. Self-report associations cannot determine whether changing parenting will reduce symptoms.
