Path model results revealed two distinct pathways: a \u201cgrowth-oriented pathway\u201d from need-supporting parenting to integrated career exploration, commitment-making and well-being via need satisfaction and a \u201cvulnerability\u201d pathway from need-thwarting parenting to both diminished well-being and ill-being through need frustration. Findings suggest that perceived parental support is a protective factor, and parental thwarting a risk factor for career decision-making, but this relation is mediated by the adolescents\u2019 subjective feelings of psychological need satisfaction and frustration. Altogether, they suggest the need to customize interventions with adolescents to address \u201cbright\u201d and \u201cdark\u201d trajectories of identity development and establish a supportive counseling climate that facilitates the exploration of different aspects of self-environment in career transition periods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0894845316672742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,4]],"date-time":"2016-11-04T20:58:52Z","timestamp":1478293132000},"page":"83-97","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Parenting Styles, Identity Development, and Adjustment in Career Transitions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Pedro Miguel Gomes","family":"Cordeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Paula","family":"Paix\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Willy","family":"Lens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School Psychology and Child and Adolescent Development, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Deceased Author"}]},{"given":"Marlies","family":"Lacante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School Psychology and Child and Adolescent Development, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Koen","family":"Luyckx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School Psychology and Child and Adolescent Development, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0894845316672742","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahmad I., Soenens B.
