大众媒体描述了为成年子女提供大力支持的直升机父母的不利影响，但很少有研究探讨这种大力支持的影响。成年儿童（N = 592，M 年龄 = 23.82 岁，53% 女性，35% 少数种族/族裔群体成员）及其父母（n = 399，M 年龄 = 50.67 岁，52% 女性；34% 少数种族/族裔群体成员）报告了他们彼此交换的支持。强烈的支持涉及父母每周多次提供多种类型的支持（例如经济、建议、情感）。参与如此频繁的支持的父母和成年子女认为这是不规范的（即过多的支持），但接受强烈支持的成年子女比没有接受强烈支持的成年子女报告了更好的心理调整和生活满意度。认为成年子女需要太多支持的父母表示，他们的生活满意度较低。讨论的重点是青少年时期父母强烈参与的影响的代际差异。
Popular media describe adverse effects of helicopter parents who provide intense support to grown children, but few studies have examined implications of such intense support. Grown children (N = 592, M age = 23.82 years, 53% female, 35% members of racial/ethnic minority groups) and their parents (n = 399, M age = 50.67 years, 52% female; 34% members of racial/ethnic minority groups) reported on the support they exchanged with one another. Intense support involved parents’ providing several types of support (e.g., financial, advice, emotional) many times a week. Parents and grown children who engaged in such frequent support viewed it as nonnormative (i.e., too much support), but grown children who received intense support reported better psychological adjustment and life satisfaction than grown children who did not receive intense support. Parents who perceived their grown children as needing too much support reported poorer life satisfaction. The discussion focuses on generational differences in the implications of intense parental involvement during young adulthood.
