This study aimed to establish the empirical distinctiveness both conceptualizations and examine their relative contribution prediction adolescents' adjustment. The authors conducted 3 studies, which sampled late adolescents (N=396, mean age=18.70 years, 79% female; N=495, age=19.30 74%...
The present investigation focused on adolescents' defiance against parents by drawing upon psychological reactance theory (Brehm, 1966) and self‐determination (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Psychological would be elicited when freedom is taken away, thereby motivating individuals to engage in oppositional behavior. Throughout four studies (total N = 1,472, age ranging between 12 21 years), it was examined whether a controlling parenting style related experiences of autonomy need frustration (i.e.,...
Reduced autobiographical memory (AM) specificity is a known vulnerability factor for depression.AM was investigated as predictor of depression with the Autobiographical Memory Test (J.M. G. Williams & K. Broadbent, 1986).When baseline scores were partialed, reduced AM to negative cue words predicted higher levels at 7-month follow-up.Once rumination taken into account by means Rumination on Sadness Scale (M.Conway, P.

This study represents the first attempt to examine validity of scores on Student Adaptation College Questionnaire (SACQ) in a sample European university students. Concurrent was established through significant correlations expected direction with alternative measures student adjustment (academic motivation, loneliness, depression, and general university). Further concurrent evidence for selected subscales provided moderate associations students’engagement social activities their...
In Western, postindustrial societies, the timing of home leaving is increasingly delayed. The diversity home-leaving patterns, resulting from this evolution, has not yet been systematically studied a psychological perspective. study, authors aimed to examine how emerging adults' living arrangements-and motives underlying those arrangements, as conceptualized in self-determination theory-relate subjective well-being. A Belgian sample 224 adults and their parents completed self-report...
Erikson stated that healthy identity development during adolescence is a precursor of intimacy in romantic relationships emerging adulthood. However, from developmental contextual perspective, there are reasons to question this strict ordering. Using interview and questionnaire data longitudinal study on 93 adolescents, the authors tested whether ego middle predicts Second, examined achievement at transition adulthood mediates link. Results revealed direct links between early (age 15) 25)....
In the present study, we focus on concept of adolescent autonomy and its relation with psychosocial functioning. Specifically, aim to differentiate between 2 prevailing conceptualizations autonomy, that is, (a) defined as independence versus dependence (b) self-endorsed controlled A 2nd goal is examine relative contribution each operationalization in prediction adolescents' adjustment (i.e., well-being, problem behavior, intimacy). Data were gathered a sample 707 Belgian adolescents. Using...
There is ongoing debate about the universal or culture-specific role of controlling parenting in children’s and adolescents’ development.

Specifically, we examined Belgian (N = 341) Chinese 316) perceptions reactions towards a vignette depicting parental guilt-induction, relative to generally autonomy supportive vignettes. Whereas adolescents guilt-induction be as behavior, perception was more...
The developmental interplay between identity and adjustment was examined in a seven‐wave longitudinal study of 428 European female college students ( M age =18.8 years) over period 3 years, with semi‐annual measurement waves each year. Latent Class Growth Analysis (LCGA) used to identify typologies both formation (i.e., dimensions commitment exploration) depressive symptoms self‐esteem). Four trajectory classes emerged for identity, three which had been suggested earlier the literature...
Abstract Personal identity formation constitutes a crucial developmental task during the teens and 20s. Using recently developed five‐dimensional model, this cross‐sectional study (N = 5834) investigated age trends from ages 14 to 30 for different commitment exploration processes. As expected, results indicated that, despite some fluctuations over time, processes tended increase in linear fashion. Exploration breadth depth were characterized by quadratic trends, with highest levels occurring...
This study investigated the continuity, pathoplasty, and complication models as plausible explanations for personality-psychopathology relations in a combined sample of community (n ϭ 571) referred 146) children adolescents.Multivariate structural equation modeling was used to examine between latent personality psychopathology change across 2-year period.Item response theory were fitted an additional test continuity hypothesis.Even after correcting item overlap, results provided strong...
