Despite research documenting the impact of parenting styles on adolescent development, the bidirectional dynamics between adolescents' perceived parenting styles and their prosocial behavior, particularly when simultaneously considering the role of emotion regulation, remain underexplored. This study used the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to examine bidirectional relationships between adolescent-perceived parenting dimensions (emotional warmth, psychological control, and harsh parenting) and adolescent prosocial behavior, while exploring emotion regulation strategies as mediators. The study utilized a three-wave longitudinal design with 719 middle school students (47.43% female; M = 12.11 years, SD = 0.41) from southwestern China, with one-year intervals between assessments. Results showed that at the within-person level, adolescent-perceived parental warmth and adolescent prosocial behavior formed a positive bidirectional relationship mediated by cognitive reappraisal. Parental psychological control predicted decreased prosocial behavior through increased expressive suppression, while harsh parenting reduced prosocial behavior by inhibiting cognitive reappraisal strategies. Multi-group analysis revealed that the indirect pathway from parental psychological control to prosocial behavior through expressive suppression was significantly stronger for female than male adolescents. These findings identify key psychological mechanisms promoting adolescent social adaptation within family systems, highlight emotion regulation's central role in the bidirectional relationships between parenting and adolescent development, and offer important implications for family interventions.
尽管有研究记录了养育方式对青少年发展的影响，但青少年所感知的养育方式与其亲社会行为之间的双向动态关系，尤其是在同时考虑情绪调节作用时，仍未得到充分探索。本研究采用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM）来检验青少年所感知的养育维度（情感温暖、心理控制和严厉养育）与青少年亲社会行为之间的双向关系，同时探索情绪调节策略作为中介变量。该研究采用三波纵向设计，对来自中国西南部的719名中学生（47.43%为女生；平均年龄M = 12.11岁，标准差SD = 0.41）进行研究，评估间隔为一年。结果表明，在个体内部层面，青少年所感知的父母温暖与青少年亲社会行为形成了一种由认知重评介导的正向双向关系。父母的心理控制通过增加表达抑制来预测亲社会行为的减少，而严厉养育则通过抑制认知重评策略来减少亲社会行为。多组分析显示，对于女性青少年，从父母心理控制通过表达抑制到亲社会行为的间接路径比男性青少年更强。这些发现确定了在家庭系统中促进青少年社会适应的关键心理机制，突出了情绪调节在养育与青少年发展双向关系中的核心作用，并为家庭干预提供了重要启示。
