Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals links between over-parenting and impaired self-efficacy in college students, suggesting excessive parental control impedes transition into professional workplaces.

Key Points

To examine the antecedents and consequences of parental involvement versus over-parenting on undergraduate students' collegiate experiences and workplace expectations.
Conducted a cross-sectional online survey of undergraduate college students (N=482).
Evaluated student demographics, living situations, perceived parenting behaviors, personality measures, and reactions to workplace scenarios.
Over-parenting was significantly more prevalent among college students who lived at home and those with fewer siblings.
Over-parenting was associated with lower student self-efficacy and maladaptive responses to workplace scenarios, whereas general parental involvement showed no such negative associations.
