Chapter 7 202 Chapter Aim Findings 3b Adolescents scoring higher on environmental sensitivity showed stronger effects from parenting to positive affect, whereas adolescents scoring higher on neuroticism showed stronger associations between parenting and negative affect. 6 3a Patterns of daily associations between perceived parenting practices and adolescent affective functioning were not shared by the whole sample nor by subsample but were instead unique to each family. 3a Which of the five parenting practices were associated with adolescent affect, and the strength, the sign (positive or negative), and timescale (same-day or next-day) of these associations was specific to the individual family. 3b Various adolescent characteristics were unrelated to the number of associations between parenting practices and adolescent affect in the family-specific network models. AIM 1: Examine How Key Dimensions Of Parenting Are (On Average) Reciprocally Associated With Adolescent Functioning At The WithinFamily Level Based on an abundance of between-family studies, numerous meta-analyses have shown that the four key dimensions of parenting (i.e., warmth/support, autonomy support, behavioral control, and psychological control) (Smetana, 2017; Soenens et al., 2019) are related to various indicators of adolescent functioning at the group level (McLeod, Weisz, et al., 2007; Pinquart, 2017a, 2017b; Yap et al., 2014). The application of within-family designs is not yet as common as between-family designs, however. Therefore, at the start of this PhD project, no systematic overview of how key parenting dimensions and adolescent functioning relate at the within-family level was available. To provide a first overview of both the available and lacking empirical insights, I started my PhD project with a systematic review of studies that examined within-family linkages between parenting and adolescent functioning (Chapter 2). The systematic review showed that only 46 within-family studies had been published until the beginning of 2018 (Boele et al., 2020). These studies focused mostly on how the parenting dimensions support (n = 14), negative interaction (n = 17), and behavioral control (n = 22) were, on average, related to adolescents’ functioning. Most attention was specifically given to how parental behavioral control was related to adolescents’ externalizing problem behaviors within families (n = 18). Surprisingly, no within-family studies had yet been conducted on the parenting dimension autonomy support. Moreover, most studies examined how parenting Table 1 Continued
