Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period for children’s individual growth, and self-exploration and rebellious behavior are particularly prominent at this stage. Self-exploration helps adolescents to deepen their self-knowledge, clarify their values, life goals and social status, and then build a solid self-identity and self-confidence. On the other hand, rebellious behavior reflects adolescents’ desire to express themselves, pursue independence and the ability to challenge authority, and helps to develop critical thinking and innovation. However, in reality, many parents are overprotective, which hinders children’s self-exploration and stimulates rebelliousness. This study focuses on the effects of parental over-protection on adolescent children’s self-exploration and rebellious behaviors, and analyses the characteristics, forms and psychological mechanisms of over-protection, aiming at providing new perspectives for understanding adolescent psychological development. Parents are expected to recognize the potential threats of over-protection and adjust their educational style to promote their children’s self-development and psychological health.
