Abstract: Based on a latent profile analysis, the present study aims to identify the subtypes of Chinese parenting styles and their relations with adolescent academic engagement and anxiety symptoms. A total of 4884 adolescents (Mage = 13.83, SD = 2.41, 51.6% females) from 37 primary and secondary schools across 13 provinces in the Chinese mainland completed Chinese version of Egna Minnen Betrffande Uppfostran (s-EMBU-C), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student (UWES-S), and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). A latent profile analysis was conducted and determined seven subtypes of parenting styles from the perspectives of adolescents: neglecting (6.6%), average-level undifferentiated (18.9%), warm-caring (48.2%), warm-controlling (11.9%), strict-controlling (2.9%), strict-controlling father (4.0%), and strict-controlling mother (7.5%). Adolescents of warm-caring and warm-controlling parents exhibited the highest academic engagement, whereas the latter ones showed significantly higher levels of anxiety symptoms than the former ones. In addition, adolescents of neglecting parents had the lowest academic engagement and relatively low-level anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, adolescents of strict-controlling parents had the highest anxiety symptoms and relatively high-level academic engagement.

Key words: parenting styles, latent profile analysis (LPA), academic engagement, anxiety, adolescence
