Abstract
En 中文
The relationship between adolescent students and their parents plays a crucial role in the former's development, yet there is a paucity of research exploring adolescents' perceptions of parental supervision, particularly in relation to gender influences. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate a scale examining students' perceptions of parental supervision, differentiating between paternal and maternal supervision. In addition, we aimed to identify different profiles of paternal and maternal supervision and to explore how these profiles are influenced by the gender of the adolescents and the parents. A cohort of 869 adolescent students participated, providing data through the << Adolescent Perception Scale of Parental Supervision >>. The validity of the scale was analysed using exploratory structural equation modelling, and the reliability of the data was tested with McDonald's Omega coefficient. After testing the validity and reliability of the scale, a latent profile analysis was conducted to categorise students into different supervision profiles based on their responses. Finally, the influence of students' gender on the likelihood of belonging to each parental supervision profile was examined for both the paternal and maternal versions of the scale. The analysis revealed three profiles of paternal supervision and four of maternal supervision, each exhibiting unique characteristics in terms of intensity and style. Adolescents' gender was found to significantly influence the likelihood of belonging to one or the other profile, both in paternal and maternal supervision. The findings underscore the need of adopting gender-specific approaches in parental supervision. This approach is crucial for supporting the developmental needs of adolescents. The study also opens avenues for further research and practical applications in educational and family contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nuanced dynamics of parental supervision in relation to gender.
