Adolescence - Parenting

Question 1

Waite et al (2014)

Answer 1

Important to note Murray et al (2009) may not apply to adolescents as they are focuses less on parents and more on peer relationships, as well as achieving autonomy

Review of studies found (1) 75% of them significant associations between adolescent anxiety and either observed or perceived parental overcontrol; (2) unlike McLeod et al (2007), moderate association between parental lack of warmth, perhaps due to more friction at home (Larson & Ham, 1993); (3) association between anxiety and parental anxious behaviour

Criticisms:
But range of methodological differences
Parents of adolescents with ADs higher intrusiveness and lower warmth than parents of non-anxious adolescents (like children), but parents of adolescents lower levels of expressed anxiety, intrusiveness, and warmth engagement than parents of children > different parenting profile, although associations broadly consistent
