The parenting context is of fundamental importance for the optimal development of children and adolescents. Making use of a person-centered approach, we derived parenting typologies from the perspective of Georgian and Belgian adolescents based on four dimensions of perceived parenting (responsiveness, structure, psychological control and autonomy support). Further, we examined how perceived parenting typologies were associated with adolescents’ self-esteem. The study sample included 511 Georgian and 830 Belgian adolescents (N = 1341; 48% female). A cluster-analytic procedure on the full sample was conducted separately for mothers and fathers. The analysis yielded five parenting typologies: Supportive - Highly structuring (high responsiveness and structure), Highly structuring - Moderately controlling (high structure and psychological control, moderate -¬ responsiveness), Supportive - Low structuring/controlling (high responsiveness and autonomy support, low structure and psychological control), Highly controlling (very high psychological control, low responsiveness and autonomy support) and Uninvolved (low on all dimensions). Results indicated that the Highly structuring - Moderately controlling paternal cluster was more prevalent in the Belgian sample. Further, adolescents from the maternal and paternal Supportive - Low structuring typology and paternal Supportive - Highly structuring typology reported the highest levels of self-esteem, whereas the lowest levels of self-esteem were observed in adolescents from the Highly controlling profile for both parents. Finally, a country moderating effect was found with the paternal Uninvolved profile associated with low levels of self-esteem in Belgian adolescents, but with moderate levels of self-esteem in Georgian adolescents. Overall, the findings offer evidence for both cultural-specific as well as universal perspectives on parenting.
