Description
By looking at the relationship between perceived parental support and coping self-efficacy in young adults, with dysfunctional individuation as a mediator, this study aimed to cover the literature gap in the field of parenting and child psychology. Using self-report and retrospective data from 120 undergraduate students, our findings suggested that, in emerging adulthood, the ability to individuate and a sense of confidence in one’s coping ability may be influenced by perceptions of caregiver support and parent-child relationships. These results indicated that emerging adults’ retrospective views of caregiver’s support or control of their autonomy may have a significant impact beyond childhood.
