Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between parenting styles, i.e., authoritative, indulgent, authoritarian, and neglectful, psychosocial adjustment, aggression, self-concept, emotional-social competence, among Generation Z (Gen Z) individuals. Method: The participants were 1,417 Chinese individuals, 736 young adults (born 2003-2005) 681 adolescents 2006-2008). A multivariate multifactorial design 4 × 2 was applied. Dependent variables various components of child adjustment (aggression, five dimensions self-concept competence). Independent children antisocial tendency during adolescence, sex, age (adolescent vs. adult cohorts). Results: Children from authoritarian homes reported higher levels worst scores in competence. By contrast, optimal results consistently associated with warm (i.e., authoritative indulgent). Conclusions: Parental warmth beneficial for Gen Z, including both adolescent cohorts. present findings seriously questioned that parenting, which has often been related positive outcomes-particularly educational success-is adjustment.

It remains unclear which functional and neurobiological mechanisms are associated with persistent desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood. We reviewed the empirical literature propose a neurocognitive social information processing model for onset adulthood, focusing on how young adults evaluate, act upon, monitor, learn about their goals self traits. Based literature, we that is characterized by domain-general impairments self-relevant goal-related processing, regulation, learning, accompanied altered activity fronto-limbic brain areas. development more effortful regulation possibly balances specific situational characteristics. The proposed framework advances insights considering individual differences such as psychopathic personality traits, emotional characteristics (e.g., valence of cues), to further illuminate neural underlying heterogenous developmental pathways. Finally, address important open questions offer suggestions future research improve scientific knowledge general context-specific expression

In the I of the beholder: an attempt to capture the implicit self-concept regarding psychopathy

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15

This article explores the implicit self-concept pertaining to psychopathy. Two online studies showed inconsistent results, with Study 1 ( n = 243) suggesting that psychopathy is linked an marked by low empathy and 2 230) implying no such relationship. In a sample of offenders community controls (Study 3a, 166), higher scores on Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) were related being less rather than more antisocial, incremental validity compared explicit self-concept. The retesting offender subsample 3b, 47) yielded evidence for temporal stability or convergent validity. highly psychopathic individuals thus appears vary, depending social context. Future should replicate these results in different samples, using additional external correlates.
