Parenting Responses and Parenting Goals of Mothers and Fathers of Adolescents

Abstract: We extended on previous work by examining the contextual nature of parenting goals in mothers and fathers of adolescents.

Participants were 285 primarily professional (48.6%), White (82.7%) parents of adolescents aged 14 to 17 years old (mothers n ¼ 213, fathers n ¼ 68, dyads n ¼ 43).

“…for example, parents of youth may be more focused on fostering adolescent identity achievement, particularly due to choices youth will have in selecting institutions of postsecondary education, deciding upon a career path and selecting a mate. Research based on parents of youth (ages of 14-17) found that the highest importance ratings were for relationship-centered and selfdevelopment goals (Horvath & Lee, 2015). Thus, greater mutuality within the parent-child relationship can refocus parenting efforts towards recognizing the unique aspects of their child as they prepare to launch youth while at the same time attempting to maintain a positive relationship with them.…”
