The purpose of this study was to examine the links between relationships with parents, identity styles, and positive youth development (PYD), conceptualized as “contribution” to self, family, and community, in Lithuanian youth during the transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood. In Study I, we sought to examine how positive relationships with parents predict contribution with the potential mediating role of autonomy-supportive parenting. Participants ( N = 153) filled a self-reported questionnaire in the final year of school and 1 year later. In Study II, we aimed at investigating how parental autonomy support is related to the contribution and the potential mediating role of identity processing style. Participants ( N = 254) were assessed 1 year after graduating high school. Overall, the findings indicated that positive relationships with parents play an important role in successful adjustment and that this relationship is partially mediated by identity style. To conclude, the way in which parents respond to their children’s need for autonomy and relatedness affects the adequate identity management and overall positive development during emerging adulthood.

Goal Progress

Individuals are more successful when they pursue autonomous goals, but how do such goals develop in young adults? The current investigation suggests that the development of autonomous personal goals is a collaborative process. To test this, we examined whether autonomous motivation and autonomy support would interact in a dynamic reciprocal manner over the school year. A 5-wave longitudinal study was conducted with university students (N = 1544), who completed surveys on motivation, support, goal progress and affect. A dynamic reciprocal relation emerged between autonomous motivation and autonomy support. At each subsequent time-point, autonomy support led to increased autonomous motivation, and autonomous motivation led to increased autonomy support. This upward spiral of autonomous goal motivation and autonomy support also resulted in increased positive affect and goal progress over the academic year. These results suggest that the development of autonomous personal goals is a collaborative process fueled by an individual’s personal autonomy and the interpersonal autonomy support they perceive from others, and this upward cycle is also beneficial for well-being and success. Future research is needed to determine how autonomously motivated individuals seek or elicit more autonomy support from others.

Care Situation

Abstract. We investigated the association between the education of informal caregivers’ (IC) and their physical and mental burden. We hypothesized that better-educated IC would have more resources available to manage the care situation and as a result show lower perceived burden. We conducted a population survey of 6,087 German residents aged 18+ years, 966 of whom reported to be IC. Results show that IC felt more often mentally than physically burdened. In the multivariate analyses, higher-educated IC did not have lower odds of feeling physically burdened than lower-educated IC, though they did have increased odds of feeling mentally burdened. The higher perceived mental burden of higher-educated IC may be related to fear of loss of self-fulfilment and autonomy. Support services should consider the mental burden of higher-educated IC and tailor their interventions accordingly.
