The mediating role of parentification in the effect of perceived abuse by adolescents from their parents on self-esteem.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParentification is a relational process that leads to role confusion within a family system, where a parent imposes their roles on the child without the child's consent. Because the roles and responsibilities are placed on the child without their permission, this situation can be considered a form of emotional abuse. In the literature, the effects of parentification on self-esteem are still debated, with findings suggesting both positive and negative outcomes.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to determine whether parentification has a mediating role in the effect of emotional abuse perceived by adolescents from their parents on self-esteem. PARTICIPANTS AND
settingThe sample consisted of 702 adolescents aged 14-18 living in Adapazarı, Sakarya.
methodsThe Adolescent Parentification Form, the Perceived Emotional Abuse from Mother and Father Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used in the study. A three-step hierarchical linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS to examine the effects of emotional abuse and parentification as predictors of self-esteem.
resultsThe study revealed that parentification had a statistically significant mediating role in the relationship between the level of emotional abuse perceived from the father and the level of self-esteem.
conclusionsThe current study demonstrated the importance of father involvement in child development. Especially for adolescents, parents are important role models. Therefore, the healthy progression of the adolescent-parent relationship is crucial for the adolescent to develop positive self-esteem.
