“…Third, greater efforts are needed to include important demographic, social, and cultural factors to better understand their influences, rather than treating them merely as control variables and covariates and trivializing their effects. For example, the findings from the current review suggested that gender of emerging adult children and parents could play an important (moderating) role in the association between overparenting and emerging adult development (e.g., Buchanan & LeMoyne, 2020a, 2020bLove et al, 2020;. Using a more gender-balanced sample would allow a closer look into the potential main and interactive gender effects.…”

“…Third, most studies examined overparenting from emerging adult children's perspectives. Perceptions of overparenting could be different from parents' perspectives, and the discrepancies of the perceptions could have implications on developmental outcomes (Love, Cui, Hong, et al, 2020). Finally, the majority of the studies used cross-sectional design except for four studies.…”

“…Eighteen studies further examined mediating mechanisms between overparenting and psychological well-being, with frequently studied cognitive mediators such as basic psychological needs satisfaction (e.g., Carr et al, 2021;Schiffrin et al, 2014;Schiffrin, Erchull, et al, 2019), self-control (e.g., Kwon et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2021), and self-efficacy (e.g., Love, Cui, Allen, et al, 2020). Several studies examining moderating mechanisms identified the unique role of gender of emerging adults and/or parents (e.g., Buchanan & LeMoyne, 2020a, 2020bKouros et al, 2016;Love et al, 2020;Rousseau & Scharf, 2015; and family structure (e.g., Buchanan & LeMoyne, 2020b). The main findings of overparenting and emerging adults' psychological outcomes are almost in complete agreement except for one study with mixed findings.…”

Overparenting and Emerging Adult Development: A Systematic Review

Researchers have investigated the phenomenon of overparenting of emerging adult children and its association with emerging adult development. With the increasing body of research in recent years on this topic, a timely systematic review is needed to gain a better understanding of the literature. This systematic review targets quantitative studies of overparenting and several domains of development (psychological, behavioral, social and relational, learning/academic and career) of emerging adult children (with a sample mean age between 18 to 29) that are published in English in peer-reviewed journals in the past 20 years (2002–2021). A search of four databases (PsycINFO, Web of Science, ERIC, and ASSIA) identified 74 eligible studies between 2002 to 2021. The majority of the studies are theory-driven ( n = 65), with self-determination theory being the most used. Study samples ranged from 89 to 2,253, most are of college students ( n = 65), from the U.S. ( n = 58), and with more female than male participants ( n = 65). Almost all studies used a cross-sectional design ( n = 70) and at least one of the several established overparenting measures. Various analytical strategies were used, ranging from structural equation modeling to latent class/profile analysis. Findings overwhelmingly suggested negative associations between overparenting and emerging adults’ development in the psychological, behavioral, social and relational, learning/academic and career domains. Some mixed findings were also reported, especially in the learning/academic and career domain. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.

“…The formation of parental indulgence may be related to parental attitude as well as the characteristics of children. The unique personality traits of only children in China (Cameron et al, 2013;Love et al, 2020) may play a role in shaping parenting styles to a certain extent. It will be useful to help parents understand the characteristics of children's personality in order to effectively promote healthy development.…”

This study examined the reciprocal relations between the parenting styles and adolescents' interpersonal personality in China. A total of 722 sixth-grade Chinese junior high school students reported their interpersonal relatedness (IR) personality trait and perceived parenting styles of their parents. Of these students, 411 completed the survey again in eighth grade. One parent of each student rated their parenting styles. The results indicated that perceived paternal rejection negatively predicted adolescents' IR 2 years later, whereas perceived paternal behavioral controlling positively predicted adolescents' IR 2 years later. IR also positively predicted perceived paternal warmth 2 years later. Significant reciprocal association between adolescents' IR and perceived maternal rejection was found. Parent-rated behavioral control negatively predicted adolescents' IR, whereas Parent-rated filial piety positively predicted adolescents' IR. The results were discussed in the Chinese context.

“…Extending the conceptual framework of parenting, more recent research has operationalized indulgent parenting to reflect parental indulgence in three dimensions, namely material indulgence (e.g., giving children excessive material goods), relational indulgence (being overly protective and overly involved) and behavioral indulgence (e.g., having low behavioral expectations, shielding children from behavioral consequences) e.g., [ 3 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The limited empirical evidence demonstrated the systematic differences between the parents’ and their children’s perceptions of parenting behaviors [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Indulgent Parenting and the Psychological Well-Being of Adolescents and Their Parents

Adolescence is a time for identity development and exploration. Indulgent parenting during adolescence could be developmentally inappropriate and could be associated with adolescent psychological well-being problems. Little research on indulgent parenting, however, has included and investigated both adolescent and parental well-being problems. To extend the literature, the current study used both adolescent and parental reports in a dyadic context to investigate the association between indulgent parenting and the psychological well-being problems of both adolescents and their parents. This study used a sample of 128 adolescent–parent dyads. The findings from the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) suggested that (1) the adolescent perceptions of behavioral indulgent parenting were significantly related to their own well-being problems; (2) the parents’ perceptions of relational and behavioral indulgent parenting were significantly related to their own well-being problems; and (3) no effects were found between adolescents and their parents. The findings from this study have implications for prevention and intervention programs to improve parenting practices and reduce parents’ well-being problems.
