A study of adolescents and parents found that negative parenting, including parent-adolescent conflict, was associated with anxiety, depression, agression, lower self esteem and lower school satisfiacation, even when the conflict occured one year ago. On the upside, current positive parenting was shown to decrease depression and lead to higher self esteem, future optimism and school satisfaction.

A study has found that both peer victimisation and harsh parenting contribute to cognitive changes associated with depression.
