Discussion: The present study aimed to evaluate the strength of association between three distinct parenting styles and self-regulation skills, on average, across all periods of childhood and adolescence using meta-analysis. Regarding Study Aim 1, we identified a significant and positive but small association between parenting behaviors that support child independence and child self-regulation skills. Additionally, a significant and negative but small association was noted between parenting behaviors that suppress child independence and child self-regulation skills. We detected a nonsignificant, positive, small association between parenting behaviors that passively relate to independence and child self-regulation skills. To our knowledge, this is the first meta-analytic investigation of parenting behaviors with a child outcome to independently assess these three discrete types of parenting behavior rather than focusing on harsh (e.g., authoritative) and/or warm (e.g., authoritarian) parenting. Notably, supportive and suppressive parenting styles were nearly equal in magnitude of association with self-regulation skills in youth-and antagonistically so in opposite directions. Consistent with claims from Saritas et al. (2013), we suggest that supportive and suppressive parenting is not aspects of the same domain; rather, child regulation skills are learned in different domains, and these findings demonstrate contrasting trends in how children respond to discrete parenting behavior.
