Problem: Limitations. While the primary merits of these meta-analyses included statistical rigor and inclusion of a broad range of primary studies for synthesis, we acknowledge some limitations. The total number of articles identified with supportive and suppressive parenting styles was substantial and relatively even. However, far fewer studies reported data we classified as passive parenting behavior. As more attention is drawn to parental monitoring and passive engagement in primary studies, we presume the proportion of evidence across these three parenting styles will steadily include more balance, albeit complete balance is not likely in the near future. Limited articles with passive parenting represented created a less fruitful, but still meaningful, opportunity to draw conclusions regarding main effect sizes. Additionally, the present study did not aim to evaluate differences in the parenting behavior-child self-regulation association over time. In order to capture as broad of a child age range as possible and ensure maximum data availability for synthesis within each meta-analysis, we chose to evaluate all cross-sectional, short-term, and longitudinal studies together. Significant moderating effects were observed for study duration in two of the three meta-analyses. However, the coefficient for supportive parenting was very low (B = -.032), and caution should still be applied when interpreting the nonsignificant passive parenting main effects.
