Key Points

This study aims to differentiate parenting styles and examine their specific effects on psychosocial outcomes in Chinese adolescents.
Latent profile analysis conducted on a national sample of 8333 Chinese parent-adolescent dyads from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS).
Analyses performed separately for mothers and fathers to identify distinct parenting profiles.
Adolescent outcomes assessed included academic difficulty, deviant peer affiliation, and depression.
Four distinct parenting profiles identified for the full and maternal samples: Authoritative, Managerial, Warm Harbor, and Disengaged.
An additional Emotionally Detached profile was found for fathers, linked with higher academic difficulty and deviant peer affiliation.
Authoritative and Warm Harbor profiles were associated with more favorable adolescent outcomes, particularly in mother-child dyads.
