The present study aimed to investigate the relations among perceived parental psychological control (PPC), autonomy and relatedness, and negative outcomes during emerging adulthood in two cultural contexts: Italy and the USA. More specifically, we explored the mechanisms through which dependency-oriented PPC (DPPC) and achievement-oriented PPC (APPC) are associated with both internalizing and externalizing difficulties, focusing on the mediating role of autonomy and relatedness. Participants were 418 European-American and 359 Italian college students. Results indicated that the expressions of PPC with regard to dependency and achievement were related to emerging adults' negative outcomes through different pathways, and these effects were moderated by the cultural group. The implications of the findings for future related empirical investigations and clinical interventions were discussed.
本研究旨在探讨在意大利和美国这两种文化背景下，感知到的父母心理控制（PPC）、自主性和关联性与成年初期负面结果之间的关系。更具体地说，我们探究了依赖导向型PPC（DPPC）和成就导向型PPC（APPC）与内化和外化困难相关联的机制，重点关注自主性和关联性的中介作用。参与者为418名欧美大学生和359名意大利大学生。结果表明，PPC在依赖和成就方面的表现通过不同途径与成年初期的负面结果相关，且这些影响因文化群体而异。文中讨论了这些研究结果对未来相关实证研究和临床干预的启示。
