Abstract

Although psychologically controlling and autonomy-supportive parenting are important indicators of social anxiety during early adolescence, less research has explored distinct roles of father and mother parenting, especially in interdependent-oriented culture. This 3-year longitudinal study examined the reciprocal associations between such parenting and early adolescent social anxiety from multi-informants in the Chinese context. A sample of 1,140 Chinese early adolescents (51.1% boys; M_age = 10.50 years) and their parents participated at Wave 1. The results did not reveal reciprocal relations between fathers’ reported parenting and social anxiety, but indicated paternal parenting effects from boys’ perceptions of autonomy support to social anxiety, and child effects from social anxiety to girls’ perceived psychological control. Maternal parenting effects were present for boys’ perceptions of autonomy support and girls’ perceptions of psychological control. The findings highlight the distinct roles of father and mother parenting across child gender and suggest differentiated relations of parenting to social anxiety during early adolescence in the Chinese context.
