“…However, an alternative explanation is that, because of the way extrinsic motivation to defend is currently conceptualized, it is more influenced by behavioral factors such as reactance than by psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, or stress, which are more likely to influence other forms of external regulation, such as introjected motivation, which were not considered in this study ( Ryan and Deci, 2000 ). Nonetheless, our finding that autonomy-supportive parenting appeared to lower depression, stress, and anxiety, is in line with the existing evidence on the protective effect of caring and supportive parenting strategies on youths’ mental wellbeing (e.g., Ortega et al, 2021 ; Rakhshani et al, 2022 ). Finally, the gender differences that emerged in our sample could be explained by some evidence in motivational research of girls showing more autonomous motivation than boys ( Ratelle et al, 2007 ; Vansteenkiste et al, 2009 ), but findings of gender differences in prosocial motivation have not been confirmed by other studies ( Jungert et al, 2021 ; Iotti et al, 2022 ).…”

This study investigated the effect of autonomy-supportive parenting practices on young adolescents’ self-reported motivation to defend victims of bullying, and the possible mediating effects of factors such as reactance, anxiety, depression, and stress.MethodsData were collected from 578 Italian public school students ages 10–14 (Mage = 11.8 years, 52% boys), who completed a survey in their classroom. The survey included self-report measures of parental orientation, motivation to defend victims of bullying, reactance, anxiety, depression, and stress.ResultsWe found that autonomy-supportive parenting had a positive effect on autonomous motivation to defend, and that this effect was weakly mediated by reactance. Moreover, autonomy-supportive parenting had a negative effect on extrinsic motivation to defend, which was partially mediated by reactance. Reactance had a positive direct effect on extrinsic motivation to defend, but results also showed that anxiety, depression, and stress did not mediate the effect of autonomy-supportive parenting on motivation to defend. Additionally, autonomy-supportive parenting appeared to play a protective role, being associated with lower levels of reactance, anxiety, depression, and stress. Finally, gender differences were found in our sample, with extrinsic motivation to defend being more prevalent in boys, and autonomous motivation to defend being more prevalent in girls. Girls also reported higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, compared to boys.ConclusionOur findings show that autonomy-supportive parenting practices play a significant role in fostering young adolescents’ motivation to defend victims of bullying, and that they are also linked with lower feelings of reactance, anxiety, depression, and stress. We argue that interventions aimed at contrasting bullying and cyberbullying among youths should seek to involve parents more and promote the adoption of more autonomy-supportive parenting practices, due to their consistently proven beneficial effects.

“…It is well-established that anxiety and depression play significant roles in the development of adolescents, and parents have been identified as key influencers in this process. The present experimental work used a multi-stage cluster sampling strategy as described in reference [12]. Prior to the implementation of the intervention, two distinct cohorts of participants were chosen.…”

The relationship between parenting styles (PS) and anxiety and depressive symptoms is one of the key research topics today. Researchers have found progress in the cause of adolescents’ anxiety and depressive symptoms regarding parenting styles. However, there are still research gaps for factors related to PS. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of PS on adolescents’ anxiety and depressive symptoms and treats self-efficacy (SE) as the mediator by collecting data from several scales (SAS, SDS, s-EMBU-C and GSE) and conducting SPSS 21.0 analysis on the data. According to the results in this paper, the father’s emotional warmth parenting style (EWPS) could affect the level of anxiety, whereas that of the mother had an insignificant result. Besides, both parents’ EWS were negatively and indirectly correlated with depression in significance. Additionally, the rejection parenting style (RPS) and over-protection parenting style (OPPS) affected anxiety and depression significantly directly and positively (all p < 0.05). That result turned out to be insignificant in the indirect path. Generally, this research provides an appropriate suggestion to lower anxiety and depressive symptoms. The suggestion is to encourage parents to offer more emotional warmth to their children instead of being RPS and OPPS.

“…Parents’ parenting style is a critical social and environmental factor for child and adolescent development. In recent years, a series of influences associated with parents’ parenting style had been identified among children and adolescents, such as cognitive and behavioral differences [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], psychological health [ 4 , 5 , 6 ], and so on [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. However, most of these studies explored the respective effect of parenting style between parents; the interactive effect of parents’ parenting style was less reported.…”

Background: Previous studies have identified the relationships between parental parenting style, personality, and mental health. However, the interactive influences between mother’s and father’s parenting styles on personality have been examined less often. To fill the gaps, the first aim of this study was to build the relationships between parental parenting style differences (PDs) and five-factor personality dimensions. The second aim was to test the mediating effect of five-factor personality dimensions on the relationships between parental parenting style differences and mental health. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among medical university students, and 2583 valid participants were analyzed. Mental health was measured by the Kessler-10 scale. The Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory brief version (CBF-PI-B) was used to access five-factor personality dimensions. PD was calculated by the short form of Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran. Linear regressions were conducted to analyze the associations between PD and five-factor personality dimensions. The SPSS macros program (PROCESS v3.3) was performed to test the mediating effect of five-factor personality dimensions on the associations between PD and mental health. Results: Linear regressions found that worse mental health was positively associated with PD (β = 0.15, p < 0.001), higher neuroticism (β = 0.61, p < 0.001), lower conscientiousness (β = −0.11, p < 0.001), lower agreeableness (β = −0.10, p < 0.01), and lower openness (β = −0.05, p < 0.05). The results also supported that PD was positively associated with lower conscientiousness (β = −0.15, p < 0.01), lower agreeableness (β = −0.09, p < 0.001), lower openness (β = −0.15, p < 0.001), and lower extraversion (β = −0.08, p < 0.001), respectively. The mediating effect of agreeableness or openness was supported for the relationships between PD and mental health. Conclusion: These findings remind us of the importance of consistent parenting styles between mother and father, and they also can be translated into practices to improve mental health among medical university students.
