While disagreement in autonomy expectations between parents and their adolescent children is normative, it may also compromise adolescent adjustment. This study examines the association between parents' and adolescents' agreement on autonomy expectations by cognitive social domains and adolescent adjustment. A sample of 211 Chilean dyads of adolescents (57% female, M = 15.29 years) and one of their parents (82% mothers, M = 44.36 years) reported their expectations for the age at which adolescents should decide on their own regarding different issues in their life. Indexes of parent-adolescent agreement on autonomy expectations were estimated for issues of personal and prudential domains. Greater agreement in the prudential than in the personal domain was observed. For boys and girls, higher agreement in adolescent-parent autonomy expectations in the personal domain was associated with lower substance use. A negative association between level of agreement in adolescent-parent autonomy expectations in the prudential domain and externalizing behaviors and substance use was found.
虽然父母与其青春期子女在自主性期望方面存在分歧是正常现象，但这也可能会影响青少年的适应能力。本研究考察了父母与青少年在自主性期望方面基于认知社会领域的一致性与青少年适应能力之间的关联。选取了211对智利青少年二元组（57%为女性，平均年龄M = 15.29岁）及其父母之一（82%为母亲，平均年龄M = 44.36岁）作为样本，报告了他们对于青少年应在什么年龄自行决定生活中不同问题的期望。针对个人和审慎领域的问题，估算了父母与青少年在自主性期望方面的一致性指数。结果发现，在审慎领域的一致性高于个人领域。对于男孩和女孩而言，在个人领域中父母与青少年在自主性期望方面的更高一致性与较低的物质使用相关。研究还发现，在审慎领域中父母与青少年在自主性期望方面的一致程度与外化行为和物质使用之间存在负相关。
