A developmental perspective is needed to reveal the long-lasting influence of perceived parenting discrepancies on youth depressive symptoms from early adolescence to emerging adulthood. This is particularly important for U.S. families of Chinese origin, an understudied U.S. population in research on perceived parenting discrepancies. The current study used an 8-year longitudinal dataset of 444 youth (M = 13.51, SD = 0.64; 54% girls) and their mothers (N = 393) and fathers (N = 374) from U.S. families of Chinese origin to examine how convergent and divergent perceptions of parenting in early adolescence relate to depressive symptoms in emerging adulthood (M = 21.39, SD = 0.62). Response surface analysis revealed that when mothers, but not fathers, reported lower (versus higher) levels of hostility than adolescents in early adolescence, youth reported higher levels of depressive symptoms in emerging adulthood. The finding highlights the need for early adolescent interventions to address parent-child perceived parenting discrepancies when mothers reported less hostility than adolescents, given their lasting impact on youth depressive symptoms in U.S. families of Chinese origin.
需要从发展的角度来揭示感知到的亲子教养差异对青少年从青春期早期到成年初期抑郁症状的长期影响。这对于美籍华裔家庭尤为重要，因为在感知到的亲子教养差异研究中，这是一个研究较少的美国人群。本研究使用了一个为期8年的纵向数据集，该数据集来自444名美籍华裔青少年（M = 13.51，SD = 0.64；54%为女孩）及其母亲（N = 393）和父亲（N = 374），以研究青春期早期对亲子教养的趋同和分歧认知如何与成年初期（M = 21.39，SD = 0.62）的抑郁症状相关。反应面分析表明，在青春期早期，当母亲（而非父亲）报告的敌意水平低于青少年时，青少年在成年初期报告的抑郁症状水平较高。这一发现凸显了在青春期早期进行干预的必要性，即在母亲报告的敌意低于青少年时，解决亲子之间感知到的亲子教养差异问题，因为这对美籍华裔家庭中青少年的抑郁症状有持久影响。
