Aspects of the parent–adolescent relationship and associations with adolescent risk behaviors over time.

Abstract: Parents' actions and knowledge of adolescents' whereabouts play key roles in preventing risk behaviors in early adolescence, but what enables parents to know about their adolescents' activities and what links there are to adolescent risk behaviors, such as substance use and delinquent behavior, remain unclear. In this study, we investigated whether different aspects of the parent-adolescent relationship predict parental knowledge, and we examined the direct and indirect longitudinal associations between these … Show more

“…When young adolescents voluntarily share information about their whereabouts with their parents, it seems to benefit adolescents’ psychosocial growth. Adolescents then engage less in various risk behaviors, such as substance use (Kapetanovic, Skoog, Bohlin, & Gerdner, ). The negative link between adolescent disclosure and adolescent risk behavior may equally indicate that adolescents who do not engage in risk behaviors feel they have nothing to hide and therefore have no problems sharing information with their parents.…”

“…For example, when parents obtain knowledge through adolescent voluntary disclosure, they are able to deter their adolescent children from engaging in risk behaviors (Keijsers, Branje, VanderValk, & Meeus, ). Adolescent disclosure is likely to occur when parents and adolescents have a trusting relationship (Kerr, Stattin, & Trost, ) and close bonds (Kapetanovic et al., ). In contrast, the impact of parents’ efforts to control and solicitation is unclear.…”

“…Kerr and Stattin (2000) originally argued that parental knowledge was grounded in a child's willingness to self‐disclose to parents, and so it was less a matter of parents monitoring a child's behavior as it was the child's willingness to disclose his or her activities, associates, and whereabouts to his or her parents. Research supports both child self‐disclosure (Kapetanovic, Skoog, Bohlin, & Gerdner, 2019) and direct parental supervision (Lahey, Van Hulle, D'Onofrio, Rodgers, & Waldman, 2008) as elements of parental knowledge. Despite a lack of consensus on the origins of parental knowledge, it served as a model of parental control in the current study.…”
