Overview

Experience Sampling reveals negative affect precedes perceived parental overprotection, suggesting a youth-driven mechanism for emotional issues.

Key Points

  • Negative affect in adolescents predicts increased perceptions of overprotection from parents.
  • Experience Sampling among 143 adolescents showed that negative affect precedes, not follows, parental overprotection.
  • Dynamic Structural Equation Models demonstrated the link between perceived overprotection and negative affect in daily life.
  • The findings imply that adolescent emotional problems may stem from overprotection prompted by distress rather than the other way around.
