父母的教养方式是影响西方社会青少年和中国香港青少年自尊的主要因素。在香港青少年样本中发现的关系模式与美国青少年样本中发现的模式相似，但与中国大陆等集体主义社会的预期相反。因此，本研究的目的是检验父母教养行为的具体维度对中国大陆青少年自尊的预测作用。本研究采用自陈式问卷调查方法，对480名就读于北京市某中学的青少年进行调查。结果表明，中国大陆的父母和青少年之间的社会化模式与美国相似，尽管对这些结果的解释可能与美国和其他西方社会的特征不同。中国父母的推理、监控和奖励行为对中国青少年的自尊有正向预测作用，而惩罚行为对中国青少年的自尊有负向预测作用。与在美国常见的模式相比，父母的支持并不能预测中国青少年的自尊。
Parents' child-rearing behaviors have been identified as major sources of influence on the self-esteem of adolescents from Western societies and Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. The pattern of relationships found in samples of Hong Kong adolescents has been similar to the pattern found among samples of U.S. adolescents, but contrary to what might be expected in collectivistic societies such as mainland China. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to test specific dimensions of parenting behaviors as possible predictors of adolescents' self-esteem in mainland China. Self-report data were acquired for this study from 480 adolescents who attended secondary schools located in Beijing. Results indicated that patterns of socialization between parents and adolescents in mainland China were similar to those found in the United States, although explanations for these results may differ from those characteristic of the United States and other Western societies. Reasoning, monitoring, and autonomy-granting behavior by Chinese parents were positive predictors, whereas punitiveness was a negative predictor of Chinese adolescents' self-esteem (both males and females). Contrasting with patterns commonly found in the United States was the finding that parental support was not a predictor of Chinese adolescents' self-esteem.
