“…Or does higher education involvement reduce parenting anxiety or stress? To solve these questions, it is suggested that future research further investigate the influence of parental involvement on parents' emotions (e.g., Liu et al, 2022). Finally, the cross-sectional data used in this study have some deficiencies in the discussion of the causal relationship between variables.…”

Chinese parents are naturally involved in their children's academic performance. Traditionally, Chinese parents highly value their children's studies because of the concept that "to be a scholar is to be at the top of society". Studies have found that parents from different countries show different involvement behaviors and attitudes in children's learning. The level of involvement of Chinese parents is significantly higher than those of parents from other developing countries (Kim, 2018). Parental involvement refers to parents' expectations of their children's education and academic development, as well as various parental behaviors that promote children's academic achievement and psychological development (Hill & Taylor, 2004;Seginer, 2006). Most current studies have validated the efficacy of parental involvement in children's academic performance (Benner et al., 2016;Fan & Chen, 2001). As indicated in relevant meta-analyses, parental involvement in education can promote children's individual academic performance (Fan et al., 2001). The higher the level of parental involvement, the more successful children will be in school (Otani, 2020;Boonk et al., 2018). Parents' involvement can promote youths' academic engagement in school (Wang et al., 2022). The study by Day and Dotterer (2018) concluded Lei Xu

“…Adopting a two-wave longitudinal study, Koning et al (2018) found that excessive Internet use would lead to a lower frequency and poorer quality of parent-child conflict communication. In China, there were also several empirical studies demonstrated that adolescents with IA often posed great challenges to their parents, introduced a series of parenting stress (Liu et al, 2022), and resulted in incessant family conflict through the parent-adolescent subsystem (Wang et al, 2011). Thus, from the perspective of the "below" pressure hypothesis and related empirical research, adolescent IA might impair or deteriorate family function, leaving the family system more vulnerable to getting into dysfunctional state.…”

Vicious circle of family dysfunction and adolescent internet addiction: Do only child and non-only child exhibit differences?

The primary aim of the current study was to probe the longitudinal relationships between family dysfunction (FD) and adolescent Internet addiction (IA), as well as the group difference between only child and non-only child. Data were from a three-wave longitudinal data of 1301 Chinese adolescents, collected when adolescents were at Grade 7, Grade 8, and Grade 9. FD and IA were assessed via adolescent self-reported questionaries of Chinese Family Assessment Instrument and Internet Addiction Test. Cross-lagged panel model was constructed to estimate possible associations between FD and adolescent IA after controlling for demographic variables. Our results suggest that adolescents might get stuck in a vicious cycle of dysfunctional family and addictive Internet use: adolescents who lived in a dysfunctional family showed increased risk in IA in the subsequent year; in turn, adolescent IA further increased the possibility of FD. Moreover, multigroup comparison analysis revealed that the vicious cycle between FD and adolescent IA could be applied to both the only child and the non-only child. The findings may enrich the application of the Developmental Contextualism Theory and contribute to the identification of the starting points for intervention strategies of adolescent IA.

“…Moreover, harsh parenting was not signi cantly related to self-kindness and not directly related to adolescent well-being in late adolescence. The decreasing susceptibility of adolescent well-being toward harsh parenting can be attributed to the more salient developmental autonomy in late adolescence (Liu et al, 2022;Shek et al, 2021). As adolescents grow older, they may become more independent (Liu et al, 2022) and less likely to be affected by others.…”

“…The participants' mean age was 13.53 (SD = 2.08). Adolescents belong to three developmental stages (Liu et al, 2022;Zou et al, 2020), including early (10-12 years old, N = 5055), middle (13-15 years old, N = 6714), and late adolescence (16-18 years old, N = 3007). In the sample, 25.6% of the participants were the only children in their families.…”

“…The current study investigated whether warm and harsh parenting, as two typical representations of parenting style dimensions (Baumrind, 1991; Zhang et al, 2017), could relate to adolescent well-being through the mediating effects of adolescent self-kindness and self-judgment. Due to the nature of turbulence in the adolescence stage (Liu et al, 2022), associations between warm and harsh parenting, self-kindness and self-judgment, and adolescent well-being may be different across early, middle, and late adolescence stages (Moreira & Canavarro, 2018), which have yet to be fully addressed in the existing literature. Therefore, this study further investigated whether there are developmental differences in the relationships across adolescence stages.…”

Objectives This study aimed to examine the associations between warm and harsh parenting and adolescent well-being and the mediating effects of self-kindness and self-judgment in the relationships. Moreover, this study investigated different developmental across three adolescence stages (early, middle, and late). Methods Totally 14776 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 13.53 ± 2.08, 52.3% males) participated in this study. All adolescents rated the levels of warm parenting and harsh parenting, self-kindness and self-judgment, and well-being. Results Both warm and harsh parenting were related to adolescent well-being through the mediating effects of self-kindness and self-judgment. But warm parenting exerted a more substantial impact on adolescent well-being. Self-kindness demonstrated a more robust mediating effect compared to self-judgment in the relationships. Moreover, harsh parenting in late adolescence had a weaker impact on adolescent well-being than those in early and middle adolescence. Warm parenting had a more significant impact on adolescent well-being in early adolescence than in middle and late adolescence. Conclusions Overall, warm parenting had a more substantial effect on adolescent well-being than harsh parenting. The findings also highlighted the crucial mediating effect of self-kindness in the relationships between parenting and adolescent well-being. Moreover, this study also indicated the importance of warm parenting in early adolescence.
