In current research on parenting, 2 ways of conceptualizing perceived parental autonomy support can be distinguished. Parental autonomy support can be defined in terms of promotion of independence (PI) or in terms of promotion of volitional functioning (PVF). This study aimed to establish the empirical distinctiveness of both conceptualizations and to examine their relative contribution to the prediction of adolescents' adjustment. The authors conducted 3 studies, 2 which sampled late adolescents (N=396, mean age=18.70 years, 79% female; and N=495, mean age=19.30 years, 74% female, respectively) and 1 which sampled middle adolescents (N=153, mean age=15.12 years, 70% female). Factor analyses pointed to the distinction between perceived PVF and PI. Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that whereas perceived PVF uniquely predicted adjustment (ps<.01), perceived PI did not (ps>.05). SEM also demonstrated that adolescents' self-determined functioning significantly mediates the relationship between perceived parental PVF and adjustment (ps<.001). Results are discussed in terms of the type of autonomy that parents might want to facilitate among their adolescents to foster well-being.
在当前关于养育方式的研究中，可以区分出两种将感知到的父母自主支持概念化的方式。父母自主支持可以根据促进独立性（PI）来定义，也可以根据促进意志功能（PVF）来定义。本研究旨在确定这两种概念化方式在实证上的独特性，并检验它们对预测青少年适应能力的相对贡献。作者进行了三项研究，其中两项研究的样本是青少年晚期（分别为N = 396，平均年龄 = 18.70岁，79%为女性；以及N = 495，平均年龄 = 19.30岁，74%为女性），另一项研究的样本是青少年中期（N = 153，平均年龄 = 15.12岁，70%为女性）。因素分析表明了感知到的PVF和PI之间的区别。结构方程模型（SEM）表明，虽然感知到PVF能独特地预测适应能力（p值 <.01），但感知到的PI却不能（p值 >.05）。SEM还表明，青少年的自我决定功能显著地介导了感知到的父母PVF与适应能力之间的关系（p值 <.001）。本文将根据父母可能希望在青少年中促进的自主性类型来讨论研究结果，以促进他们的幸福感。
