摘要
The current study examined the moderating role of adolescent's gender on the relationships between perceived paternal parenting styles, locus of control and self-efficacy amongst 382 Malaysian adolescents (51% female). Results revealed that paternal authoritative parenting was significantly related to internal locus of control and high self-efficacy in adolescents. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that boys tended to develop higher self-efficacy in comparison to girls when they perceived their fathers as highly authoritative. The present findings underscore the importance of considering the contribution of gender when assessing the role of parenting styles on adolescents' developmental outcomes.
