Abstract

Although bidirectional associations between parenting and adolescents’ social and emotional outcomes have been investigated, how parental warmth and harsh parenting as two different parenting dimensions, adolescents’ prosocial behaviors, and emotional problems were longitudinally and bidirectionally related at between- and within-person levels remains unclear. With a three-wave longitudinal design, the present study examined these associations by employing the random-intercept cross-lagged panel model. Data from 606 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 13.80 years, SD = 0.52, at T1; 45.7% girls) were collected at six-month intervals over one year, and participants completed questionnaires assessing their perception of parenting, prosocial behaviors, and emotional problems online. The results indicated that parental warmth and harsh parenting were significantly associated with adolescents’ prosocial behaviors and emotional problems at the between-person level. At the within-person level, adolescents’ more prosocial behaviors at T1 predicted later within-person decreases in their emotional problems at T2, which in turn predicted subsequent increased prosocial behaviors and more parental warmth at T3. Additionally, a higher level of harsh parenting at T2 unidirectionally predicted more adolescents’ emotional problems at T3. These findings highlighted the developmental cascade processes among adolescents’ prosocial behaviors, emotional problems, and parenting and the importance of fostering adolescents’ prosocial behaviors in reducing their emotional problems and then promoting subsequent psychosocial adjustment and parent-child bonding.
