This cross-sectional study examined relations between affluent adolescent adjustment and culturally salient factors within parent-child relationship and extracurricular domain. Bootstrapping techniques evaluated mediated effects among parental perfectionism, perceived parental pressure, intensity of organized activity (OA) involvement, and adolescent adjustment (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms, life satisfaction) within a sample of 10th graders and their parents (n = 88 parent-child pairs) from four high schools in affluent communities. Findings indicated that adolescents with more perfectionistic parents perceived more parental pressure and experienced poorer adjustment. Results also demonstrated that affluent adolescents who perceived more parental pressure were more intensely involved in OAs, but that higher OA intensity was linked to better adjustment. Findings highlight the importance of considering parental perfectionism when understanding adolescent behaviors and psychological outcomes, confirm the negative direct effects of parental pressure on adjustment, and corroborate prior research dispelling that highly intense OA involvement is linked to adolescent maladjustment.
这项横断面研究考察了富裕青少年的适应情况与亲子关系及课外领域中具有文化显著性的因素之间的关系。在来自富裕社区四所高中的10年级学生及其父母（n = 88对亲子）样本中，采用自抽样技术评估了父母完美主义、感知到的父母压力、有组织活动（OA）参与强度与青少年适应情况（即抑郁和焦虑症状、生活满意度）之间的中介效应。研究结果表明，父母完美主义程度越高的青少年感知到的父母压力越大，适应情况越差。结果还表明，感知到更多父母压力的富裕青少年参与有组织活动的强度更大，但较高的有组织活动强度与更好的适应情况相关。研究结果凸显了在理解青少年行为和心理结果时考虑父母完美主义的重要性，证实了父母压力对适应情况的负面直接影响，并证实了先前的研究，即高强度的有组织活动参与与青少年适应不良无关。
