Parental Psychological Autonomy and Children's Academic Competence and Behavioral Adjustment in Late Childhood: More than just Limit-Setting and Warmth.

Mattanah, Jonathan F.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v47 n3 p355-76 Jul 2001

Examined links between 91 fourth graders' academic competence and behavioral adjustment and mothers' and fathers' psychological autonomy, controlling for effects of parental limit-setting and warmth. Found that fathers' psychological autonomy was a unique correlate to greater academic competence and fewer signs of depression in the classroom, after accounting for the effects of fathers' warmth and limit-setting.
