The Link between Parental Support and Adolescent Negative Mood in Daily Life: between-Person Heterogeneity in within-Person Processes

Lack of parental support is related to more adolescent negative mood. However, little is known about how fluctuations of parental support relate to fluctuations of negative mood within adolescents in daily life. The current study aimed to elucidate these processes at a day to day micro-level and examined to which extent adolescents would differ in the association between perceived parental support and adolescent negative mood. This data concerns ecological momentary assessments of 3 weeks (eight questionnaires a day) 3 months apart. 242 Dutch adolescents indicated their negative mood in every questionnaire and parental support was assessed once at the end of each day. We used multilevel regression analyses with random slopes to investigate the within-person association between parental support and negative mood and individual differences in effects.

父母支持不足与青少年更显著的负面情绪呈正相关。然而，目前学界对日常生活中父母支持的波动如何与青少年自身负面情绪的波动产生关联，仍缺乏深入了解。本研究旨在从每日微观层面阐明这一作用机制，并检验青少年在感知父母支持与自身负面情绪间的关联程度上存在的个体差异。本数据集包含间隔3个月开展的两项为期3周的生态瞬时评估（Ecological Momentary Assessments），每项评估期间每日需完成8份问卷。共有242名荷兰青少年参与研究，他们需在每份问卷中报告自身的负面情绪，且每日结束时完成一次父母支持水平的评估。本研究采用带有随机斜率的多层回归分析，以探究父母支持与负面情绪之间的个体内关联，以及效应的个体差异。
