“…Regarding the psychological and social genesis of the emotional state of adolescents, there seems to be a certain consensus on the influence of the family on adolescents' knowledge of themselves, on their self-esteem, social skills, prosociality, and, ultimately, in the development of emotional intelligence [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Of course, the educational system also plays a relevant role in shaping the perceptions of adolescents, as well as in the development of their potentialities and difficulties [30][31][32].…”

An adolescent’s knowledge of him/herself (positive aspects and weaknesses) is shaped by interactions with external and internal factors, including the family context and the educational environment. The assessment of this knowledge serves to construct the concept of self-esteem. The main objective of the present study was to examine the prevalence of self-reported emotional and behavioral symptoms in a representative sample of Italian adolescents and their relationship with gender and age, using Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). A total of 440 adolescents (49.8% female) aged 15–18 years from the southern Italy region participated. The results show the prevalence of emotional and behavioral symptoms in the analyzed sample. Gender differences were also found in the variables under study. In conclusion, the SDQ test is offered as an agile, simplified, and effective tool, to be proposed to all formative agents who are concerned with the interest and care not only of young people, but also of the future of socio-political realities.

“…Specifically, authoritarian parenting has been associated with increased extraversion and openness, while authoritarian-inconsistent parenting has been linked to heightened extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and increased emotional stability ( Kugler et al, 2022 ). Ashraf et al (2018) also reported a causal relationship between parenting style and personality traits in primary school children. However, it is important to highlight that none of the existing research has explored the impact of parenting style on the Big Five personality traits of high school students.…”

IntroductionUnderstanding the relationship between parenting style and the non-cognitive development of high school students is crucial, particularly in rural China. Non-cognitive abilities, including traits such as emotional regulation, resilience, and interpersonal skills, play a significant role in students’ overall development and future success. This study aims to investigate how different parenting styles impact non-cognitive abilities among high school students in rural China.MethodsThis study surveyed 6,549 high school students and their primary caregivers in rural China. The students had an average age of 17.61 years, with 48% being male, and 62% of Han ethnicity. Primary caregivers self-reported their parenting styles, while the students’ non-cognitive abilities were assessed using the Big Five Inventory-Short (BFI-S). The relationship between parenting style and non-cognitive development was analyzed using two distinct methods: two dimensions (authoritative and authoritarian) and four categories of parenting styles.ResultsThe study revealed that an authoritative parenting style had a positive impact on the non-cognitive abilities of students. Conversely, a negative association was observed between the authoritarian parenting style and the students’ non-cognitive development. This association was more pronounced in the non-cognitive developmental scores of girls compared to boys. Additionally, parents from wealthier families or those with higher levels of education were more likely to adopt an authoritative parenting style rather than an authoritarian one.DiscussionThe results of this study highlight the significant influence of parenting styles on the non-cognitive development of high school students in rural China. Authoritative parenting, characterized by warmth and structure, appears to foster better non-cognitive outcomes, while authoritarian parenting, marked by strictness and less warmth, is associated with poorer non-cognitive development. The gender differences observed suggest that girls may be more sensitive to variations in parenting style. Furthermore, the socioeconomic and educational background of parents plays a crucial role in determining the parenting style adopted. These findings underscore the importance of developing and implementing parenting training interventions in rural China, aimed at promoting authoritative parenting practices to enhance the non-cognitive development of students.

“…Finally, only neuroticism was selected to examine its mediating effect between parental bonding and depression symptoms. Other personality traits such as extraversion have been found to be related to both parental bonding (49,50) and depression symptoms (51,52). Therefore, future studies should further explore the mediating role of extraversion in the relationship between parental bonding and depression symptoms.…”

Background: This study aims to examine the influence of parental bonding on depression symptoms and the mediating role of neuroticism in their association among college freshmen. Methods: A sample of 2636 first-year college students from a university in Liaoning province, China were recruited. The care and control subscales of Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI–Ⅱ), and the neuroticism scale of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were used to measure parental bonding, depression symptoms, and neuroticism, respectively. Results: Structural equation models indicated that maternal or paternal care negatively predicted depression symptoms, while maternal control had a significant and positive prediction of depression symptoms. Additionally, the interaction effects between care and control from both mothers and fathers on depression symptoms were also significant. The negative predictive effects of parental (maternal or paternal) care on depression symptoms were greater when parental (maternal or paternal) control was at a high level. Finally, neuroticism partially mediated the relationships between maternal care or control and depressive symptoms, paternal care and depressive symptoms; while served as a full mediator in the association between paternal control and depression symptoms. Conclusion: Parental bonding can directly affect college freshmen’s depression symptoms, and have indirect effects via the mediating role of neuroticism. These results may advance our understanding of the influence of family environment on college freshmen’s depression symptoms and its mechanisms.
