Poster Session 6: Parenting

Presenters: Hyeji Kim, Hye Ryung Cho, Jaerim Lee

Summary
We aimed to identify the latent profiles of parenting during the transition to college in Korea based on parental warmth, monitoring, over-expectation, and over-control. Data came from the 7thwave data(2017) of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study.Using a sample of 1,191 college freshmen (19-21 years old) and a latent profile analysis, we identified three parenting profiles: average(56.3%), warm monitoring(22.9%), and warm helicopter(20.8%). The "warm monitoring"group reported the highest levels of warmth and monitoring and the lowest levels of over-expectation and over-control among the three profiles. The "warm helicopter"group was relatively high on all of the four parenting dimensions.The"warm monitoring" group reported the best psychological outcomes.This study contributes to the literature by identifying multiple parenting profiles in the Korean context of transition to college.

Objectives
-- To identify the latent profiles of parenting among college freshmen in Korea
-- To evaluate whether the psychological adjustment of freshmen differs depending upon the identified profile
-- To understand the diversity and role of parenting in the transition to college
