Abstract
The current study investigated the antecedent role of perceived parental goal promotion for students’ self-esteem level and contingency. Additionally, we examined the mediating role of experienced need satisfaction. Using three-wave longitudinal data in a sample of 494 college students (mean age at Time 1=18.41years, 84% female), we found that intrinsic parental goal promotion at baseline directly and positively predicted students’ initial self-esteem level. Further, intrinsic parental goal promotion indirectly predicted both students’ initial self-esteem level (positive effect) and initial self-esteem contingency (negative effect) via need satisfaction. Extrinsic goal promotion only directly and positively predicted students’ initial self-esteem contingency. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
