Adolescence, a period between childhood and adulthood, plays a significant role to future adjustment and well-being. Therefore, it is important for social workers to investigate and understand factors that foster adolescent adjustment. The present study investigated the effect of parent-child attachment, teacher-student attachment, parental monitoring and self-control on adolescent adjustment. We expected that parent-child and teacher-student attachments and parental monitoring would affect adjustment, and so would self-control. Furthermore, parent-child and teacher-student attachments and parental monitoring would affect adjustment through self-control. We sampled 1,728 adolescents in junior, senior, and vocational high schools. Using questionnaires, our results showed that there were significant relationships between parent-child and teacher-student attachments, self-control, and adolescent internalizing problems, and there were significant relationships between parent-child and teacher-student attachments, parental monitoring, self-control, and adolescent externalizing problems. Self-control partly explained the relationship between parent-child and teacher-student attachments and internalizing problems and between parent-child and teacher-student attachments and parental monitoring and externalizing problems. Self-control affected more externalizing than internalizing behavior. Practice implications were discussed hoping to support social workers making relevant interventions on issues of adolescent externalizing and internalizing problems and self-control. |
