Adolescence is characterized by increases in autonomy, yet we have limited knowledge about how parents and adolescents may navigate this transition in real time. We assessed dynamic bidirectional associations between parental behavior-specifically, autonomy support and control-and adolescent autonomy in both mother-adolescent and father-adolescent dyads during a 10-min conflict discussion task ( = 86, 32 girls). Observers rated parental autonomy support, parental control, and adolescent autonomy on 4-point scales in 30-s epochs. Residual dynamic structural equation (RDSEM) models revealed that increases in paternal autonomy support in a given 30-s epoch predicted increases in adolescent autonomy in the next epoch, after controlling for stability in father and adolescent behavior from one epoch to the next. Further, increases in adolescent autonomy in a given 30-s epoch predicted increases in maternal control in the next epoch. Findings highlight the importance of investigating bidirectional associations in parent-adolescent interactions as well as considering the divergent roles that mothers and fathers may play in the socialization of adolescent autonomy.

青春期的特点是自主性增强，但我们对于父母和青少年如何在现实中应对这一转变知之甚少。我们评估了在 10 分钟冲突讨论任务期间（n=86，32 名女孩），母子和父女对子中父母行为（具体来说，自主性支持和控制）与青少年自主性之间的动态双向关联。观察者在 30 秒的时间段内对父母的自主性支持、父母的控制和青少年的自主性进行了 4 点量表评估。残差动态结构方程（RDSEM）模型显示，在控制了下一个时段父亲和青少年行为的稳定性之后，在给定的 30 秒时段内父亲自主性支持的增加预测了下一个时段青少年自主性的增加。此外，在给定的 30 秒时段内青少年自主性的增加预测了下一个时段母亲控制的增加。研究结果强调了在父母-青少年互动中研究双向关联的重要性，以及考虑母亲和父亲在青少年自主性社会化中可能扮演的不同角色的重要性。
