Extensive research shows that parental monitoring is a critical factor in child adjustment. Using parent and adolescent reports, this study sought to examine predictors of parental monitoring among an understudied, high-risk sample of runaway adolescents. Parent-reported depressive symptoms, couple (romantic) relationship satisfaction, and adolescent-reported bonding with parents were used as predictors of both child- and parent-reported monitoring. Findings indicated that, among parents, the couple relationship was the primary predictor of monitoring, whereas among adolescents, the parent-child relationship was the primary predictor. Maternal depressive symptoms were unrelated to monitoring. These findings suggest the utility of considering monitoring as an interpersonal phenomenon rather than primarily a parent- or child-driven phenomenon.
大量研究表明，父母监督是儿童适应的关键因素。本研究使用父母和青少年的报告，试图探讨一个研究不足的、高风险的离家出走青少年样本中父母监督的预测因素。父母报告的抑郁症状、夫妻（浪漫）关系满意度和青少年报告的与父母的联系被用作儿童和父母报告的监测的预测因素。研究结果表明，在父母中，夫妻关系是监测的主要预测因素，而在青少年中，亲子关系是监测的主要预测因素。母亲的抑郁症状与监测无关。这些发现表明，将监测视为一种人际现象而不仅仅是父母或孩子驱动的现象是有用的。
