Overview

Experience Sampling reveals negative affect precedes perceived parental overprotection in adolescents, suggesting a youth-driven dynamic.

Key Points

  • Negative affect is a key predictor of perceived parental overprotection in adolescents, rather than the other way around.
  • 143 adolescents participated, reporting on their feelings and experiences of overprotection throughout a week.
  • The study utilized dynamic structural equation models to reveal inner-family linkages between affect and overprotective behaviors.
  • These findings imply that perceptions of parental overprotection are often driven by the adolescents' current negative emotions.
