The present study examined Chinese parents' and adolescents' beliefs in the legitimacy of decision authority with reference to specific issues from the prudential, conventional, multifaceted, and personal domains. The sample included 698 adolescents aged 12-15 and their parents from southern China. Parents and adolescents reported on their own beliefs respectively. Subgroups of parent and adolescent participants characterized by distinct patterns of beliefs across issues were identified with latent class analyses (LCA). Further, configural frequency analyses (CFA) were conducted to examine the match between parent subgroups and adolescent subgroups. In addition, the LCA-derived subgroups varied across residency status, sibling status, and child gender, and were linked to adolescent depressive symptoms and school misconduct. These associations with external variables provided evidence for the distinctiveness of the latent classes. Results were discussed in light of social domain theory and the socio-historical context where the participants were situated.
本研究参照审慎、传统、多方面和个人领域的具体问题，考察了中国父母和青少年对决策权威合法性的看法。样本包括来自中国南方的698名12至15岁的青少年及其父母。父母和青少年分别报告了自己的看法。通过潜在类别分析（LCA）确定了在不同问题上具有不同信念模式的父母和青少年参与者亚组。此外，进行了构型频率分析（CFA），以检验父母亚组和青少年亚组之间的匹配情况。此外，LCA得出的亚组在居住状况、兄弟姐妹状况和孩子性别方面存在差异，并与青少年抑郁症状和学校行为不端有关。这些与外部变量的关联为潜在类别的独特性提供了证据。根据社会领域理论和参与者所处的社会历史背景对结果进行了讨论。
