Abstract: Abstract Passion has been proposed as one of the potential constructs that could contribute to a more fulfilling life as well as to subjective well-being. The importance of the social environment has been underscored in relation to passion; however, less emphasis has been put on the role of perceived parenting practices. The present two-sample investigation posited that the perceived parenting practices of care, autonomy granting, and overprotection experienced in adolescence are predictive of harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP) passion which are, in turn, differentially related to subjective well-being. A sample of Hungarian high schoolers (N = 474) and a comprehensive sample of Hungarian adults (N = 471) were recruited for this research to test the proposed model and the generalizability of the findings. The measurement models and the regressive paths were invariant across the two samples, showing that care positively predicted HP, while autonomy granting and overprotection positively predicted OP. Subjective well-being was positively related to HP and care, but not the other variables. The present findings highlight that perceived parenting experiences are related to different indicators of functioning among high schoolers and adults.
