Would my teenager describe my encouragement as confidence in them or pressure to perform?
Parent-specific acceptance and rejection ratings keep adolescents’ own perceptions central to analysis of parenting and self-efficacy.
Who was studied?
Seven hundred and sixty-one school-going Malaysian adolescents.
Age / stage: Ages 13–18
Read with three questions
- What was reported separately about mothers and fathers in the measures of acceptance?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- Would my teenager describe my encouragement as confidence in them or pressure to perform?
