Abstract

This paper explores the impact of parenting on adolescents' self-regulation, emphasizing the importance of
parental socialization in shaping individuals' beliefs, worldviews, and behaviors. It highlights that effective
emotion regulation in children is associated with parents' emotional support, positive affect, emotion coaching, and
joint strategies. Conversely, difficulties in emotion regulation in adolescents are linked to parents' psychological
control, permissiveness, expressed anger, and criticism. Furthermore, the study reveals that adolescents
experience more positive affect when in the presence of their parents compared to when they are alone, indicating
ongoing parental influence on emotion regulation throughout adolescence. Consequently, the paper underscores
the need for practitioners working with parents and families to develop intervention and prevention efforts
targeting three primary ways parents impact emotion regulation: modeling/observation, specific parenting
practices related to emotion, and families' emotional climate. These efforts should focus on enhancing parents'
emotion-regulation skills and teaching emotion-coaching techniques that emphasize warmth, responsiveness, and
setting limits.
