Connection Between Parent–Child Religiosity: Moderated Mediation by Perceived Maternal and Paternal Warmth and Overprotection and Emerging Adult Gender
Review of Religious Research, 2020Co-Authors: Melanie Stearns, Cliff MckinneyAbstract:Previous research has shown a strong connection between parental religiosity and parenting behaviors in the transmission of religion from parent to child. Our study expanded upon previous research by examining how perceived maternal and paternal warmth and Overprotection mediated the relation between parental and personal religiosity in males and females. A sample of 486 emerging adults reported maternal, paternal, and personal religiosity as well as their parents’ parenting behaviors. Results indicated that perceived paternal warmth served as a mediator for males only but neither perceived maternal nor paternal Overprotection mediated the relationship between parental religiosity and emerging adult religiosity. Gender moderated the paths from perceived paternal religiosity to paternal Overprotection, such that the relationship was stronger for females, and perceived paternal warmth to emerging adult religiosity, such that the relationship was stronger for males. Overall, results demonstrated that mediation effects occurred for males only, suggesting moderated mediation.

effects of parental internalizing problems on irritability in adolescents moderation by parental warmth and Overprotection
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2019Co-Authors: Cliff Mckinney, Ellen H Steele, Alligrace StoryAbstract:Research has shown a link between parental and offspring internalizing problems and that parental warmth and Overprotection affect these relationships. However, less research has examined how parental warmth and Overprotection affect the link between parental internalizing problems and irritability in adolescents. Thus, the current study investigated the moderating effect of parental warmth and Overprotection on the relationship between parental internalizing problems and adolescent irritability in the context of parent and child gender. Participants were parents of adolescents aged 10–24 years and completed surveys online about themselves, the adolescent, and the adolescent’s other primary caregiver. Questionnaires assessed parental warmth and Overprotection, parental internalizing problems, and adolescent irritability. Results indicated a moderating effect of parental warmth (b = −0.08, p< 0.01) and Overprotection (b = 0.21, p< 0.01) on the relationship between parental internalizing problems and adolescent irritability. Parent and child gender further moderated the relationship when examining parental Overprotection (b = −0.16, p< 0.01) but not parental warmth. Results highlight the importance of examining factors, such as parental internalizing problems, warmth, and Overprotection, that influence the development of irritability symptoms in adolescents. Additionally, results highlight the importance of examining how gender moderates these relationships. For example, the effect of maternal Overprotection on male adolescents was particularly important, which suggests that more research should be done to further understand the complex nature of this relationship.

Emerging Adult Risky Sexual Behavior Predicted by Parental Overprotection: Moderated Mediation Analysis.
Family process, 2018Co-Authors: Mary Moussa Rogers, Cliff MckinneyAbstract:Parental control behaviors are suggested to be related to emerging adult outcomes, such as risky sexual behavior. Although parental control behaviors are more likely to be considered protective against risky sexual behavior, the relation between parental Overprotection and risky sexual behavior is unclear. Furthermore, parental Overprotection may influence peer selection and prosocial behaviors in emerging adults, which may in turn influence outcomes of risky sexual behavior, as suggested by primary socialization theory. Thus, the current study investigated the relations among paternal and maternal Overprotection, emerging adult peer alienation, and risky sexual behavior, and expanded on these relations by examining gender effects of both parents and children. The sample consisted of 505 participants (228 males and 277 females) ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. Analyses were conducted with AMOS path analysis and indicated that peer alienation mediated the effect between both maternal and paternal perceived Overprotection and risky sexual behavior, but more strongly for males, suggesting moderated mediation. Overall, parental Overprotection may be protective against risky sexual behavior via pathways that are harmful such as peer alienation, thus recommending research continues to clarify the nuances of these relations.

Parental Perceptions of Child Vulnerability, Overprotection, and Parental Psychological Characteristics
Child psychiatry and human development, 1998Co-Authors: Michael ThomasgardAbstract:While a parental perception of child vulnerability to illness/injury is often used interchangeably with parental Overprotection, research suggests that these constructs are independent. Distinct parental psychological characteristics were hypothesized for each construct. The parents of 871 children, ages 22–72 months, completed a four-part protocol (clinical background data, Child Vulnerability Scale, Parent Protection Scale, and Brief Symptom Inventory). A distinct parent symptom profile was found for perceived child vulnerability (somatization, obsessive-compulsiveness, and anxiety). Overprotection was associated with phobic anxiety, psychoticism, and paranoid ideation. These findings provide further support for the differentiation of these constructs.

The 2-year stability of parental perceptions of child vulnerability and parental Overprotection.
Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 1996Co-Authors: Michael ThomasgardAbstract:Clinicians often identify parent-child relationships that are believed to be problematic for the child's future emotional growth, yet there are minimal outcome data on which to base anticipatory guidance. This 2-year follow-up study examined the stability and child behavioral correlates of parental perceptions of increased child vulnerability and parental Overprotection. Of 192 potential participants, 114 parents (93% morhers, 86% while, 75% married, 90% middle-upper socioeconomic status) with children age 4 to 7 years successfully completed the Parent Protection Scale, Child Vulnerability Scale, Child Behavior Checklist 4-18, and the Parental Bonding Instrument. The 2-year stability of high parental Overprotection was 37%; for high parental perception of child vulnerability, it was 31%. High perceived vulnerability at enrollment was significantly associated with both internalizing (somatic complaints, anxious/depressed) and externalizing (aggressive) behaviors at follow-up. A history of Overprotection in the parent's childhood was not associated with current parental report of overprotective behaviors toward the child.

Parent-child relationship disorders. Part II. The vulnerable child syndrome and its relation to parental Overprotection.
Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 1995Co-Authors: Michael Thomasgard, Jack P. Shonkoff, Craig EdelbrockAbstract:Parents who are excessively concerned about their child's health are often characterized as being overprotective. We hypothesized that parental Overprotection is independent of parental perception of child vulnerability to illness or injury despite their presumed interchangeability. A community-based sample of 892 parents (92% white, 84% married, 88% middle-upper socioeconomic status, 90% mothers) completed a three-part protocol (clinical background data, the Child Vulnerability Scale, and the Parent Protection Scale). Correlates of high parental perception of child vulnerability included a medical condition in the child, a history of life-threatening illness or injury, and the child being seen for a sick visit. Correlates of high parental Overprotection included younger age of child and parent. Only 20% of those parents who considered their child vulnerable were also considered overprotective.

Parental Overprotection revisited
Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 1993Co-Authors: Michael Thomasgard, W. Peter MetzAbstract:Dimensions of parental Overprotection are clarified in a critical review of the research and clinical literature. An indulgent style of parenting is distinguished from an overprotective parent-child relationship. Differential antecedents and outcomes are proposed for each of these forms of parent-child interaction. Measures of protection are reviewed. A new conceptual model of parental Overprotection is presented which takes into account child, parent, family, socio-cultural, environmental and resiliency factors. Directions for future research are suggested.

the relationship between single parent status and parenting capacities in mothers of youth with chronic health conditions the mediating role of income
Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Larry L. Mullins, David A. Fedele, John M Chaney, Stephanie E Hullmann, Cortney Wolfechristensen, David T Elkin, Lori Wiener, Ashley JunghansAbstract:Objective To retrospectively examine the relationship of single-parent status to parenting capacity variables in mothers of youth with a chronic health condition. Methods Parental Overprotection, perceived vulnerability, and parenting stress were assessed in 383 mothers (308 married and 75 single parents) of youth with one of six chronic health conditions (i.e., type 1 diabetes, asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, or sickle cell disease). Results Single mothers evidenced higher levels of both perceived vulnerability and parenting stress, but not Overprotection, than married parents. These differences disappeared in the presence of income as a predictor. Conclusions Single parents appear to evidence differences in parenting capacity; however, low income appears to account in large part for the higher level of risk associated with single-parent status.

Longitudinal assessment of maternal parenting capacity variables and child adjustment outcomes in pediatric cancer.
Journal of pediatric hematology oncology, 2011Co-Authors: David A. Fedele, Larry L. Mullins, Cortney Wolfe-christensen, Melissa Y. CarpentierAbstract:Summary: This preliminary investigation aimed to longitudinally examine parenting capacity variables, namely parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress and their relation to child adjustment in mothers of children on treatment for cancer. As part of a larger study, biological mothers (N=22) completed measures of parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, parenting stress, and child adjustment at Time 1 and a follow-up time point. Analyses were conducted to determine whether (1) levels of parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress declined from Time 1 to followup and (2) if Time 1 parenting capacity variables were associated with child adjustment at follow-up. Results revealed that parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress declined from Time 1 to follow-up, and levels of parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress at Time 1 were significantly related to child adjustment at follow-up. Collectively, the preliminary findings of this study indicate that mothers of children with cancer evidence improved parenting capacity over time. Furthermore, it seems that Time 1 parenting capacity variables are significantly related to later child adjustment.

Parental Overprotection, Perceived Child Vulnerability, and Parenting Stress: A Cross-Illness Comparison
Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2010Co-Authors: Stephanie E Hullmann, David A. Fedele, Cortney Wolfe-christensen, John M Chaney, Jamie L. Ryan, Philip L. Rambo, Larry L. MullinsAbstract:The current study sought to investigate differences in parenting capacity variables across four disease groups. Parents (N = 425), the majority of whom were mothers, of children with either cancer, asthma, Type 1 diabetes, or cystic fibrosis, completed measures of parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress. After controlling for significant demographic variables, parents of children with cystic fibrosis and asthma reported higher perceived child vulnerability than parents of children with either diabetes or cancer, while parents of children with asthma and diabetes reported higher parenting stress than parents of children with cancer or cystic fibrosis. No differences between disease groups were found for parental Overprotection. The current study provides support for an illness-specific approach to understanding parenting capacity variables in the context of childhood chronic illnesses.

the relationship between parental Overprotection and health related quality of life in pediatric cancer the mediating role of perceived child vulnerability
Quality of Life Research, 2010Co-Authors: Stephanie E Hullmann, Cortney Wolfechristensen, William H Meyer, Rene Y Mcnallknapp, Larry L. MullinsAbstract:Purpose The current study sought to examine the relation of parental Overprotection and perceived child vulnerability to parent-reported health-related quality of life in parents of children with cancer. Methods Parents (N = 89) of children who had been diagnosed with cancer completed measures of parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parentproxy report of health-related quality of life. Results After controlling for theoretically relevant covariates, parental Overprotection and perceived child vulnerability were both found to be significantly related to child health-related quality of life. Additional analyses revealed that perceived child vulnerability mediated the relationship between overprotective parenting behaviors and the child's health-related quality of life. Conclusion The findings highlight the need to assess for these discrete parenting variables in parents of children with cancer and to develop interventions to target parental perceptions of vulnerability.

the relationship of parental Overprotection perceived vulnerability and parenting stress to behavioral emotional and social adjustment in children with cancer
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2008Co-Authors: Christina J M Colletti, Larry L. Mullins, Melissa Y. Carpentier, John M Chaney, Cortney Wolfechristensen, William H Meyer, Rene Y Mcnallknapp, Melanie C PageAbstract:Background To examine the relationship of self-reported parental Overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress to parent-reported behavioral, emotional, and social adjustment of children currently on treatment for cancer. Procedure Parents of 62 children (34 boys, 28 girls) currently on treatment for cancer were recruited from an outpatient pediatric cancer clinic. Children ranged in age from 2 to 12 years; age at diagnosis ranged from 1.33 to 11.83 years. Results Higher levels of parenting stress, but not parental Overprotection or perceived child vulnerability, were associated with poorer behavioral and social adjustment. Higher levels of perceived child vulnerability and parenting stress, but not parental Overprotection, were independently associated with poorer emotional adjustment. Conclusions Specific parenting variables appear to be related to specific adjustment outcomes in children with cancer. Longitudinal follow-up of these children is necessary to determine the developmental trajectory of parent variables and long-term child outcomes.

symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and social and school adjustment the moderating roles of age and parenting
Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Yoshito Kawabata, Wanling Tseng, Susan Shurfen GauAbstract:This study examined the associations between symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and social and school adjustment (academic performance, peer relationships, school social problems) and the moderating roles of children’s age and maternal parenting (affection and Overprotection) in these associations. The sample consisted of 2,463 students who were in the first to ninth grade in northern Taiwan. Results from the linear mixed models demonstrated that ADHD symptoms were inversely associated with academic performance and positively associated with social adjustment problems. Further, children’s age and maternal parenting moderated the associations between ADHD symptoms and school and social adjustment. For example, maternal Overprotection moderated the relation between hyperactivity and negative peer relationships (i.e., difficulty forming and maintaining friendships), such that this relation was stronger for children who experienced higher levels of Overprotection than children who did not. Moreover, children’s age moderated the association between attention problems and decreased academic performance, such that this association was stronger for older children and adolescents than for younger children. Furthermore, children’s age and maternal affection interacted to influence the association between attention problems and school social problems (i.e., bullying, aggression, and peer rejection) with maternal affection acting as a buffer for older children (grades 4–6) only. These findings are discussed from a developmental psychopathology perspective.

Parental Overprotection and metacognitions as predictors of worry and anxiety.
Behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy, 2011Co-Authors: Marcantonio M. Spada, Chiara Manfredi, Gabriele Caselli, Francesco Rovetto, Daniela Rebecchi, Giovanni Maria Ruggiero, Ana V. Nikčević, Sandra SassaroliAbstract:BACKGROUND: Parental Overprotection may have a direct effect on worry through hindering children's exploration experiences and preventing the learning of action-oriented coping strategies (Cheron, Ehrenreich and Pincus, 2009; Nolen-Hoeksema, Wolfson, Mumme and Guskin, 1995) and an indirect effect through fostering the development of maladaptive metacognitions that are associated with the activation of worry and the escalation of anxiety (Wells, 2000). AIM: The aim was to investigate the relative contribution of recalled parental Overprotection in childhood and metacognitions in predicting current levels of worry. METHOD: A community sample (n = 301) was administered four self-report instruments to assess parental Overprotection, metacognitions, anxiety and worry. RESULTS: Metacognitions were found to predict levels of worry independently of gender, anxiety and parental Overprotection. They were also found to predict anxiety independently of gender, worry and parental Overprotection. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of a family environment perceived to be characterized by Overprotection and high levels of maladaptive metacognitions are a risk factor for the development of worry.

Temperament and parental styles as predictors of ruminative brooding and worry
Personality and Individual Differences, 2011Co-Authors: Chiara Manfredi, Gabriele Caselli, Francesco Rovetto, Daniela Rebecchi, Giovanni Maria Ruggiero, Sandra Sassaroli, Marcantonio M. SpadaAbstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of temperament and parental styles in predicting ruminative brooding and worry whilst controlling for negative affect. A community sample (n = 307) was administered six self-report instruments that assessed anxiety, depression, temperament, parental styles, ruminative brooding and worry. Results showed that both ruminative brooding and worry were positively correlated with anxiety, depression, harm avoidance and parental Overprotection. In addition, ruminative brooding was positively correlated with reward dependence, and worry with novelty seeking. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that anxiety, depression, reward dependence and parental Overprotection were significant predictors of ruminative brooding, and that anxiety, depression, harm avoidance and parental Overprotection were significant predictors of worry. These findings show that a temperament characterized by high levels of harm avoidance or high levels of reward dependence may facilitate the tendency to use worry or ruminative brooding, respectively, and that a parental style characterized by high control and protectiveness is an independent risk factor for the development of both types of recurrent negative thinking.
