摘要：Drawing on Bowlby's attachment theory, much research has been conducted into the effects of parental care and parental control on internal assets that are key to the development of adolescent children, such as self-esteem, self- efficacy, resilience, and social competence. However, one question that remains unanswered concerns the applicability of this Western-based parental bonding theory to other socio-cultural contexts. The present study examines this question by surveying a community sample of 752 Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. Of particular concern is the exploration of the ways in which parental care and parental control affect the internal assets of adolescents. The basic premise is that parental factors have independent main effects on the aforementioned youth development outcomes. The results support our hypotheses that parental care and parental control affect internal assets. The implications of the findings for future research and intervention services are discussed.
