Abstract
In a sample of early adolescents, we examined whether parenting behaviors buffer against the known adverse effects of life stress on internalizing symptoms. We found that, among parenting metrics, parental knowledge, but neither parental warmth nor authoritativeness, moderated the effect of life stress on internalizing symptoms.
