Parenting behaviors and their relationship to adolescent adjustment

Abstract

This research explores the relationships between perceived parenting behaviors and adolescent adjustment. While there exists a large body of Western research on the impact of child-rearing behaviors on adolescent development and adjustment, very few studies have been done in Asian contexts. The findings of the study contribute to existing cross-cultural research as well as provide useful data that will enable policy makers to address key issues in the design of parenting and adolescent programs.
