Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify latent profiles of parenting characteristics which were perceived by 11th graders and their parents, and to verify differences in the psychological, social, and behavioral adjustment of children according to the classified types in their 12th grade. Methods 4,553 longitudinal data of 8th (2019) and 9th (2020), Gyeonggi Education Panel Study(GEPS) were used to identify the latent group. In specific, BCH auxiliary variable were used to verify differences among identified latent groups. Results First, the study found six latent classes depend on each of children’s perception and parents’ perception of parenting characteristics. Second, both classes which were identified with low perception of children and average perception of parents and with average perception of children and above average perception of parents reported lower psychological adjustment and growth mildest, but higher delinquency behaviors than other four latent classes. However, classes which were identified with highest perception of both children and parents and with highest perception of children and above high perception of parents reported higher self-esteem, academic self-efficacy, and school adjustment as well as lower academic stress than other four latent classes. Conclusions This study suggests that there is a difference in perception of parenting characteristics between parents and their children, and when parents perceive their parenting characteristics more positively than adolescents, it can negatively affect the social, psychological, and behavioral adaptation characteristics of adolescents.
