The links between parenting, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Framed by attachment and cognitive theories, the current meta-analysis tested the direct and indirect links among parenting dimensions (parental support, authoritative control, psychological control, and behavioral control), self-esteem, and depressive symptoms for children and adolescents.

Methods: Based on 53 studies, and 74 independent samples, the present study used One-Stage Meta-analytic Structural Equation Modeling (OSMASEM) to investigate these links, including testing a mediation effect by self-esteem between parental support-, authoritative control-, psychological control-, behavioral control-, and depressive symptoms. It also tested for potential moderation effects by several variables.

Effects of parenting program components on parental stress: A systematic review and component network meta-analysis.

The present study tested the effectiveness and ranking of the different combinations of parenting program components in reducing parental stress at the first posttreatment measurement in treatment settings for parents of children with disruptive behaviors. Fifty-seven studies were identified. Six different combinations of parenting program components were compared to the inactive component (control group), based on five active components (psychoeducation [PE], behavior management [BM], relationship enhancement [RE], parental self-management [SM], and parent as a coach [PC]).

Dataset of parenting practices, self-control and anti-social behaviors: Meta-analytic structural equation modeling.

This dataset is used to clarify the nexus between effective parenting practices, low self-control, and anti-social behaviors in Gottfredson and Hirschi's General Theory of Crime (GTC). The analysis included 72 articles reporting 255 effect sizes (N = 94,604). We used the method of Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling (MASEM) to test the assumptions of GTC.
