Abstract
This systematic review serves as an overview and provides a better understanding of how parents can influence mental health, specifically depression, in secondary education students. Four parental factors were addressed, including parental involvement, parental support, parental control, and parental pressure. A search for relevant literature was performed in PsycINFO, Medline, and ERIC. The final selection consisted of 16 studies. According to the results of the selected studies, various associations between parental involvement and depression were reported; high parental involvement was found to predict lower depression, but also higher depression. Furthermore, high parental support was predictive of lower depression, and high parental control was found to result in higher depression. Finally, high parental pressure was predictive of higher depression in students. The selected studies in this systematic review conceptualized the parental factors in various ways; an overlap in the conceptualizations between the parental factors complicated the interpretation of the research findings from the selected studies.
