Summary

In adolescence, an important challenge for parents is to keep track of their adolescents’ behaviors and to create conditions in which adolescents disclose relevant information about themselves. According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), dynamics of autonomy play a central role in both the effectiveness of parental monitoring and adolescents’ willingness to disclose toward parents. This chapter provides a review of SDT-based studies on parental monitoring and adolescent disclosure. This research begins to show that, whereas autonomy-supportive communication increases the potential benefits associated with parental monitoring, controlling communication of monitoring is rather counterproductive. Further, adolescents disclose more often toward parents and do so more willingly when parents are perceived as autonomy supportive (rather than controlling). In conversations about unfamiliar topics, adolescents additionally benefit from parental support for competence (i.e. guidance). Studies also highlight adolescents’ agency in the dynamics of monitoring and disclosure. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed.
