El objetivo de este trabajo es profundizar, desde una perspectiva longitudinal, en las dimensiones que componen el constructo de Estilo Educativo, estudiando su evolución a lo largo de la segunda década de la vida y analizando su influencia sobre diversas medidas de ajuste de chicas y chicos. Vara ello, además de evaluar el afecto y el control conductual, incluimos medidas del control psicológico y la auto-revelación. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 101 adolescentes a los que entrevistamos en tres momentos, cuando contaban con 13, 15 y 17 años. Según nuestros resultados, el afecto, el control psicológico y la auto-revelación muestran una importante estabilidad a lo largo de la adolescencia. El control conductual, a pesar de su estabilidad relativa, presenta un decremento importante con la edad. Nuestros resultados señalan algunas diferencias de género interesantes. Igualmente, destacan que para el buen desarrollo de chicos y chicas es importante el control de su conducta así como el fomento de su autonomía en un clima positivo en el que puedan hablar de sus asuntos espontáneamente.
