Abstract/Summary

This study explored the impact of parenting style on the relationship locus of control, perspective taking, and conflict resolution skills of Filipino emerging adults who live with their parents, focusing on the mediating role of perceived autonomy. The study involved 150 Filipino emerging adults who had experience in committed romantic relationships. Findings indicated that while parental support was linked to increased perceived autonomy, perceived autonomy did not mediate the relationship between parenting style and the studied aspects of romantic competence. These results suggest that parental behavioral control has no relationship to any of the studied facets of romantic competence as well as perceived autonomy. However, it also suggests that parental support contributes to autonomy in emerging adults, but this perceived autonomy does not directly explain their relationship locus of control, perspective taking, and conflict resolution skills. The study emphasizes the continued importance of parent-child dynamics in adulthood, particularly in shaping autonomy and romantic relationship skills. This suggests potential interventions targeting parental support to increase perceived autonomy and romantic relationship competencies among emerging adult Filipinos, promoting healthier relationships and mental well-being.
