Objectives. The role of parenting self-efficacy(PSE) in parenting quality and the development of young children has been well-explored. However, less is known about PSE in the parents of adolescents and fathers in particular. In this multi-informant study, the aim was to explore the link between maternal and paternal PSE and the perceptions of their own parenting. Furthermore, it looked at the associations between PSE and adolescent adjustment (problem behaviour, rebellion, self-esteem and life satisfaction). Sample and methods. Data were collected from 389 mothers (mean age 40.6), 235 fathers (mean age 42.9) and their adolescent children (N=439, mean age 13.5, 56% girls). Linear regression with moderation effect has been applied. Results. There were no gender differences found in PSE between mothers and fathers, neither between the parents of boys and girls. Similarly to previous findings about PSE in childhood, the current results show strong associations of higher levels of PSE with higher quality parenting as perceived by both mothers and fathers. However, only maternal PSE was associated with good adolescent adjustment with some interaction effect with adolescent gender. Limitations. The use of cross-sectional data is limiting in addressing possible bidirectional process.
