Both the adolescent peer attachment and perceived parenting style literatures emphasize the role of the quality of the parent-child relationship in children's healthy adjustment beyond the family, but few studies have investigated links between adolescents' peer attachment and perceptions of parenting. We investigate relations of adolescents' perceptions of warmth and psychological control from parents with avoidance and anxiety in attachment to close friends in two contrasting cultures. Altogether, 262 Turk and 263 Belgian youth between 14 and 18 years of age participated. Cross-culturally, attachment avoidance was negatively related to maternal warmth, and attachment anxiety positively related to maternal and paternal control and negatively to paternal warmth. Beyond these general relations, attachment avoidance was associated with paternal psychological control in Belgians but not in Turks. The study provides cross-cultural evidence for specific relations between peer attachment and perceived parenting and suggests a culture-specific pathway for the development of attachment avoidance.
青少年同伴依恋和感知到的养育方式文献都强调了亲子关系质量在儿童家庭以外的健康调整中的作用，但很少有研究调查青少年同伴依恋和对养育方式的看法之间的联系。我们在两种文化背景下研究了青少年对父母温暖和心理控制的看法与对亲密朋友的依恋回避和焦虑之间的关系。共有 262 名土耳其青少年和 263 名比利时青少年参与了研究，年龄在 14 至 18 岁之间。跨文化研究发现，依恋回避与母亲的温暖呈负相关，而依恋焦虑与父母的控制呈正相关，与父亲的温暖呈负相关。除了这些普遍的关系外，在比利时青少年中，依恋回避与父亲的心理控制有关，但在土耳其青少年中则没有。这项研究为同伴依恋和感知到的养育方式之间的特定关系提供了跨文化证据，并为依恋回避的发展提供了一种特定文化的途径。
