What would my teenager say feels like support, and what feels controlling?
This article examines how maternal autonomy support, controlling behaviour and adolescent symptoms change across time. The study makes room for the child’s own perspective or responsibility in a decision families can recognise.
Who was studied?
Japanese mother–adolescent pairs completing questionnaires four months apart.
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how maternal autonomy support, controlling behaviour and adolescent symptoms change across time?
- 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 japanese mother–adolescent pairs completing questionnaires four months apart.
Keep the limits in view
Following families over time helps establish the order of measurements. Other changing experiences could still account for the associations.
