Previous research has shown that parental support has beneficial effects on the psychological well-being of adolescents. Going beyond prior research, the present study made distinctions between information, emotional, and financial parental support and examined adolescents from United States ( = 1,002), China ( = 1,172), South Korea ( = 3,993), and Japan ( = 1,112). The frequency and impact of different types of perceived parental support on adolescents' positive self-belief and distress levels have been investigated. Consistent with the existing literature, the results showed American adolescents perceived greater emotional and informational support than others, while Chinese, Korean, and Japanese adolescents perceived greater tangible support compared to American adolescents. Notably, Chinese adolescents reported higher levels of parental support than other East Asian adolescents. The perceived parental support influenced positive self-beliefs equally across cultural groups, but informational support impacted distress to a greater degree for American adolescents than East Asian adolescents. The implications of the present research are discussed.

Despite the rapid changes in the use of communication technologies in families, research on how parents use communication technologies to stay connected with adolescents has been limited. Grounded in interdisciplinary theories in family and media studies, the primary aim of this study was to identify and describe unique patterns of parent-adolescent communication using parent reports of communication. Further, we considered whether parent-adolescent closeness was associated with parent-adolescent communication patterns.

Positive parenting behaviors and children's internalizing problems (Int. Probs) are bidirectionally associated during late childhood and early adolescence. These bidirectional associations likely emerge earlier and may be stronger when children are prone to reactive negative emotions, making parents' support especially critical in children's regulation of negative emotions.

In Colombia, LGBTIQ+ identities in the educational field are often considered sensitive and perceived as taboo, which may contribute to their underrepresentation in research. In the English as a foreign language (EFL) field, limited attention has been given to the perspectives and experiences of LGBTIQ+ teachers in schools. As a result, the perceptions and realities faced by this group of stakeholders have been overlooked, creating a gap in research.
