How is adolescent functioning related to experiences of connection, regulation, and support for autonomy at home, in school, and with peers? Using data from the Maryland Adolescent Growth in Context (MAGIC) study (an ongoing longitudinal study of 1,387 African American and European American adolescents and their families), it was found that: (a) family demographic characteristics helped predict only academic performance; (b) although positive experiences on one indicator predicted positive experiences on the other two each of the three types of experience explained a unique amount of variance in adolescent functioning (e.g., regulation related most strongly to externalizing behaviors; in contrast, support for autonomy related to all aspects of functioning); (c) although adolescents with positive interactions in one context were likely to have positive interactions in the other contexts, characteristics of each context explained unique amounts of variance in functioning (e.g., experiences with siblings emerged as uniquely important predictors of mental health).
