Abstract EN
Research consistently shows low to moderate agreement between parent and child reports of child mood, suggesting that parents are not always the best predictors of child emotional functioning.
This study examines parental responsiveness and psychological control for improving prediction of early adolescent mood and emotional resilience beyond parent report of child emotional functioning.
Participants were 268 early adolescents administered measures of depression symptoms, emotional resilience, and perceptions of parenting.
Parents of participating youth completed measures of youth emotional functioning.
Parental responsiveness and psychological control each emerged as family variables that may be of value for predicting child emotional functioning beyond parent reports.
Specifically, responsiveness explained significant variance in child depression and resilience after accounting for parent reports, while parental psychological control increased prediction of child mood alone.
Results generally suggest that parenting behaviours may be an important consideration when children and parents provide discrepant reports of child emotional well-being.
Conceptual and clinical implications of these results are discussed.
