Abstract EN
This study tested the degree to which a need-supportive family environment influences adolescents' endorsement of the value priorities that their mothers wish for them.
Mothers and their adolescents (N=280) rated the importance of three intrinsic values (personal growth, close relationships, and community contribution) and three extrinsic values (wealth, fame, and attractiveness).
Results revealed that mothers placed greater emphasis on intrinsic over extrinsic values than did adolescents.
Furthermore, the congruence of mothers' and adolescents' emphasis on intrinsic values was moderated by the extent to which adolescents experienced satisfaction of their basic needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence at home.
Finally, the well-being of both adolescents and mothers was associated with the degree to which they prioritized intrinsic over extrinsic values.
Implications for research on the transmission of values and goals are discussed.
