Previous research has shown a link between parenting and children's characteristics and interpersonal behaviors. This study aimed to examine the associations between parents' helicopter parenting/autonomy-supportive behaviors and emergent adults' relational satisfaction and couple conflict. It also explored whether the sense of relational entitlement mediated these associations. The findings suggest that parental autonomy-supportive behaviors can indirectly affect emerging adults' relational satisfaction and couple conflict through excessive relational entitlement.
Previous research shows a link between parenting and children's characteristics and interpersonal behaviors. However, little is known about the ways in which parenting tactics affect children's romantic relationships and whether the children's characteristics can mediate these associations. With this study, the aim was to test the associations between parents' helicopter parenting/autonomy-supportive behaviors and emergent adults' relational satisfaction and couple conflict. In addition, it was tested whether the sense of relational entitlement (excessive and restricted) mediated the links. Two hundred and twelve emergent adult-parent dyads participated in this study. Mediation analyses showed that parental autonomy-supportive behaviors had indirect effects on both the relational satisfaction and the couple conflict reported by the emerging adults through excessive relational entitlement. The link was positive for the former couple-related outcome and negative for the latter one. Helicopter parenting was not related to any variable reported by the emerging adults. In conclusion, positive parenting can increase relational stability and well-being by diminishing some potentially negative psychological characteristics of emerging adults.
