What can I learn when my teenager and I disagree about how much independence I offer?
Parents and adolescents may describe the same autonomy support differently. The paper examines those discrepancies without assuming that disagreement itself causes depressive symptoms.
Who was studied?
497 Dutch adolescents with mother and father reports from the RADAR cohort.
Age / stage: Adolescence; mean age 13 at baseline
Read with three questions
- How were parent–child reporting discrepancies represented?
- What did the within-family model find about temporal ordering?
- Why might annual surveys miss shorter-term family processes?
Keep the limits in view
No within-family cross-lagged effects supported discrepancies as causes or consequences of depressive symptoms. Annual measurement, informant perceptions, and a predominantly Dutch sample limit inference.
