In this chapter we explore the associations between parental control behaviors and domestic violence. Limited autonomy in adolescence has been linked to child abuse. Autonomy is a primary developmental task in adolescence, and a successful resolution of this task is associated with well-being and adaptation in adult life. However, autonomy does not develop in isolation, but rather in the context of parents’ support on the one hand or parental control on the other, the latter hampers autonomy development in children and adolescents. The present chapter is based on a large national prevalence study on child abuse and neglect among 12–16-year-olds in Norway (N = 9240). In line with parenting standards in Norway, findings suggest that Norwegian adolescents in general experience a low degree of control. However, a high degree of controlling behaviors from parents is associated with both physical and psychological abuse. Age is not associated with degree of control, except for a decrease in parental supervision with age. Findings are discussed in light of parents’ country of origin.

Parenting Practice

Extensive research has demonstrated the positive relationship between parental expectations and adolescents’ academic performance. However, little attention has been paid to the negative influence of parental expectations on adolescents’ emotion well-being. The present study investigated the effects of high parental expectations on both academic performance and depression of adolescents. In addition, it also explored whether these relationships could be mediated through adolescents’ value of academic success, self-efficacy, and supports from parents and school. The sample consisted of 872 adolescents from secondary schools in Hong Kong and the results revealed that high parental expectations were positively associated with adolescents’ academic performance and also positively associated with their depression. The mediating roles of adolescents’ value of academic success and school support frequency were also confirmed. This study provides some implications for parenting practice by clarifying the complex roles of parental expectations and the need for social support for adolescents.
