Using self-determination theory, two studies investigated the relations among perceived need support from parents, their adolescents’ autonomous self-regulation for academics, and the adolescents’ well-being. Study 1 indicated that perceived need support from parents independently predicted adolescents’ well-being, although when mothers’ and fathers’ data were examined separately, the relation was stronger for mothers than for fathers. In Study 2, autonomous self-regulation for planning to attend college was a significant partial mediator of the relation of adolescents’ perceived need support to well-being. Thus, perceived need support from parents does seem important for the development of adolescents’ autonomous self-regulation and well-being.
