Relationships Between Perceived Teachers’ and Parental Behavior and Adolescent Outcomes in Estonia

---

This study addresses relationships between perceived maternal, paternal, and teacher acceptance and behavioral control, and adolescents’ psychological adjustment, school conduct, and academic achievement in Estonia. A total of 224 sixth graders respond to 3 self-report measures. Adolescents’ school conduct and grade point average (GPA) are reported by teachers. Study findings show that girls’ psychological adjustment was predicted by their perceptions of both maternal and paternal acceptance, whereas boys’ psychological adjustment was predicted only by their perceptions of maternal acceptance. Perceived paternal control emerge as the only significant predictor of boys’ school conduct problems, whereas girls’ school conduct is predicted only by perceived teacher acceptance. Academic achievement of the adolescents is not significantly related to either perceived parental or teachers’ behavior.
