Using longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study (analytic sample N = 712), we investigate how age, adult role acquisition and attainments, family resources, parent-child relationship quality, school attendance, and life events influence support received from parents in young adulthood. Parental assistance was found to be less forthcoming for those who had made greater progress on the road to adulthood, signified by socioeconomic attainment and union formation. The quality of mother-child and father-child relationships affected parental support in different ways, positively for mothers, negatively for fathers. School enrollment, negative life events, and employment problems were associated with a greater likelihood of receiving support. The findings suggest that parents act as "scaffolding" and "safety nets" to aid their children's successful transition to adulthood.
利用青年发展研究的纵向数据（分析样本N = 712），我们调查了年龄、成年角色的获得与成就、家庭资源、亲子关系质量、上学情况和生活事件如何影响青年期从父母那里获得的支持。研究发现，对于那些在成年道路上取得更大进展的人，父母的帮助来得更少，这体现在社会经济成就和组建家庭方面。母子关系和父子关系的质量对父母支持的影响方式不同，对母亲的影响是积极的，对父亲的影响是消极的。入学、负面生活事件和就业问题与获得支持的可能性更大有关。研究结果表明，父母充当“脚手架”和“安全网”，以帮助他们的孩子成功过渡到成年期。
