Résumé La recherche sur les pratiques éducatives parentales et l'ajustement psychosocial de l'adolescent a pendant longtemps considéré que les parents « façonnent » le développement du jeune à travers leur style éducatif ou leurs stratégies de contrôle et de supervision. En rupture avec cette vision unilatérale de l'exercice de l'autorité parentale, les travaux de la dernière décennie se caractérisent par une reconnaissance effective du statut d'agent actif de l'adolescent et un intérêt grandissant pour l'étude empirique des effets réciproques dans les relations parent-adolescent. Cet article propose une revue critique de ces évolutions et montre, avec une contribution empirique à l'appui, en quoi l'approche des systèmes dynamiques offre des perspectives intéressantes pour le chercheur, tant dans ses questionnements fondamentaux sur les dynamiques familiales à l'adolescence que dans les propositions d'actions de prévention qu'il peut être amené à formuler.

AbstractEmotion regulation is critical for adolescent functioning. Theories on the subject have evolved rapidly in recent years and have led to a more contextualized and dynamic conceptualization of emotion regulation processes. In this paper, based on the distinction between emotion regulation strategies and abilities, we propose future directions for research on emotion regulation development in adolescence. We first present evidence that emotional, cognitive, and social changes that occur in adolescence are central in emotion regulation development. We then review empirical findings on emotion regulation development by tying them to their conceptual foundations. We discuss their limitations and argue that building better conceptual clarity is essential to study emotion regulation. Because current knowledge on recent concepts that emerged in adult‐based models remains limited and contested in adolescence, we end this article by discussing new research perspectives to provide a better understanding of the topic. We stress the need for researchers in the field to adopt a more contextualized and person‐oriented approach, to combine different time scales and methods, and examine the predictors of emotion regulation as well as its outcomes.

The impact of identity-related risk factors on psychopathology was analyzed in 2,113 emerging adults ( M = 22.0 years; 66% female) from France, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Peru, Pakistan, and Poland. Identity stress, coping with identity stress, maternal parenting (support, psychological control, and anxious rearing), and psychopathology (internalizing, externalizing, and total symptomatology) were assessed. After partialing out the influence of stress, coping, and perceived maternal behavior, country did no longer exert a significant effect on symptom scores. The effect for gender remained, as did an interaction between country and gender. Rather unexpected, on average, males reported higher internalizing symptomatology scores than females. Potential causes for the higher scores of males are therefore discussed. Partialing out covariates resulted in a clearer picture of country-specific and gender-dependent effects on psychopathology, which is helpful in designing interventions.
