Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by the exploration of independence and self-identity. In this study, we aimed to examine the association between indulgent parenting (characterized by high responsiveness and low demandingness) and adolescents' maladjustments across emotional, behavioral, and social domains. Using a cross-cultural sample of high school students from the U.S. ( = 268) and China ( = 189), we tested the hypotheses that indulgent parenting was associated with adolescents' maladjustments, and that such association varied by cultural context (U.S. vs. China) and parental gender. The results from Bayesian structural equation modeling supported the hypotheses, showing significant associations between indulgent parenting and adolescents' maladjustments and differences in the associations across cultures and parental gender. The findings highlighted the need for culturally informed parenting programs to foster healthy adolescent development.
青少年时期是一个关键的发展阶段，其特点是对独立性和自我认同的探索。在本研究中，我们旨在探讨放纵型养育方式（以高反应性和低要求为特征）与青少年在情感、行为和社会领域的适应不良之间的关联。我们使用了来自美国（n = 268）和中国（n = 189）的高中生跨文化样本，检验了以下假设：放纵型养育方式与青少年的适应不良有关，并且这种关联因文化背景（美国与中国）和父母性别而异。贝叶斯结构方程建模的结果支持了这些假设，表明放纵型养育方式与青少年的适应不良之间存在显著关联，并且不同文化和父母性别之间的关联存在差异。研究结果强调了需要有文化针对性的养育项目来促进青少年的健康发展。
