父母监测的概念是跟踪和监测，但实际操作是对日常活动的了解。这项研究测试了跟踪和监督解释为什么父母的知识与更好的青少年适应有关。参与者是瑞典中部的1186名14岁儿童和他们的父母。这一结果支持并扩展了对父母监督的重新解释(H.Stattin和M.Kerr，在出版中)。在性别和信息者中，父母的高知识与良好适应的多种措施有关。但是，与父母的跟踪和监视努力相比，孩子自发披露信息更能解释这些关系。只有在孩子被控制的感觉被分离出来后，父母的控制努力才与良好的适应有关，这种感觉与适应不良有关。这一发现表明，父母的跟踪和监督努力并不像之前认为的那样有效。
Parental monitoring has been conceptualized as tracking and surveillance but operationalized as knowledge of daily activities. This study tested the tracking and surveillance explanation of why parental knowledge is linked to better adolescent adjustment. Participants were 1,186 14-year-olds in central Sweden and their parents. The results supported and extended a reinterpretation of parental monitoring (H. Stattin & M. Kerr, in press). Across sex and informant, high parental knowledge was linked to multiple measures of good adjustment. But children's spontaneous disclosure of information explained more of these relations than parents' tracking and surveillance efforts did. Parents' control efforts were related to good adjustment only after the child's feelings of being controlled, which were linked to poor adjustment, were partialed out. The findings suggest that parents' tracking and surveillance efforts are nor as effective as previously thought.
