Abstract:

This project investigated parent-child gender relations and adolescent self-esteem by differentiating parent-child dyads by gender as well as particular relationship components. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health were employed to examine the perceptions of 3,972 seventh to twelfth grade boys and girls. Respondents assessed parental caring and feelings of closeness for each residential mother and father figure. I hypothesized that perceptions of relationship closeness and parental caring would be positively associated with adolescent self-esteem, particularly within same-sex parent-child relationships. Furthermore, of the four dyadic pairings, I predicted that mothers and daughters would exhibit the most powerful association. As expected, ordinary least squares regression analyses demonstrated that parental caring was positively associated with adolescent self-esteem for same-sex father-son and mother-daughter dyads. Relationship closeness was predicative of adolescent self-esteem in all parent-child parings except between mother and sons. Also in support of hypotheses, results found mother-daughter dyads to produce the strongest association of all parings in both relationship domains.

Shannon Reilly Brown University January 13th 2004 ASA Submission Dyadic Parent-Child Relationships and Adolescent Self-Esteem Self-esteem or one’s self-evaluation and feelings of personal worth is fundamental to adolescent self-concept formation in which children search for and develop distinct and autonomous identities. Self-esteem and identification is not only important during adolescence but is critical to developmental trajectories and future well-being (Clausen 1991; Erikson 1959; Marcia 1993; McAdams 1997). While positive self-esteem has been found to be associated with interpersonal competence
