Framed through family life course theory, two studies were conducted to examine the relationship between parenting and Chinese emerging adults' conceptions of adulthood. Study 1 identified five important adult criteria among 763 participants (M = 23.13; 54.8% girls) through exploratory factor analysis. In Study 2, 616 participants (M = 22.51; 71.6% girls) completed measures of parental autonomy support (PAS) and psychological control (PPC), subjective adult status, and adult criteria. Results showed that PAS was positively associated with subjective adult status and endorsement of almost all adult criteria, whereas PPC was both positively and negatively associated with different adult criteria. Findings reveal the influence of family factors on youth transition to adulthood in the Chinese context and may have implications for family based interventions.
基于家庭生活历程理论，开展了两项研究，以考察养育方式与中国新兴成年人的成人观念之间的关系。研究1通过探索性因素分析，在763名参与者（M = 23.13；54.8%为女性）中确定了五项重要的成人标准。在研究2中，616名参与者（M = 22.51；71.6%为女性）完成了父母自主支持（PAS）和心理控制（PPC）、主观成人地位及成人标准的测量。结果显示，PAS与主观成人地位以及几乎所有成人标准的认可呈正相关，而PPC与不同的成人标准既有正相关又有负相关。研究结果揭示了在中国背景下家庭因素对青少年向成年期过渡的影响，可能对基于家庭的干预措施具有启示意义。
