Latent profile analysis reveals family parental self-efficacy profiles shape relational well-being in preadolescents and parents, highlighting targets for reducing family-wide loneliness.

Key Points

To identify family-level configurations of mothers' and fathers' parental self-efficacy and examine how these profiles relate to intra- and extra-familial relationship well-being across family members.
Conducted a latent profile analysis among N=249 families of preadolescents to classify family-level maternal and paternal self-efficacy configurations.
Applied Mplus auxiliary functions to compare intra- and extra-familial relationship characteristics (loneliness, family communication, prosocial and antisocial behavior) across profiles using parent, teacher, and peer reports.
Identified four distinct family parental self-efficacy profiles: low–low, low–average, high–average, and high–high configurations between mothers and fathers.
Families in the balanced low profile showed the greatest relationship vulnerability, with mothers, fathers, and preadolescents reporting the highest social and emotional loneliness and less open family communication.
Preadolescents in the low–low profile were rated as least prosocial by parents, teachers, and peers and most antisocial by parents, whereas high parental self-efficacy profiles showed the strongest overall relationship well-being.
