There is no denying the fundamental role played by parents in the psychosocial development of their children-either as a liability or as protection against mental health disorders. This study seeks to ascertain, by means of odds ratio statistics (OR), the correlation between parental psychological control and emotional and behavioral disorders. A total of 762 students took part in this study, with an average age of 12.23 years-53.8% of whom were girls and 46.2% were boys. Children and adolescents reported their parental psychological control and their emotional and behavioral disorders (i.e., emotional and behavioral problems, internalizing and externalizing problems). Minors who perceive their psychological control as high are 6 times more likely to suffer from internalizing disorders and 4.8 times more likely to develop externalizing disorders. Furthermore, the probability of suffering externalizing disorders is higher among males who perceive a high degree of psychological control. This study breaks new ground on the importance of perceived psychological control-considered as a negative form of control by parents-in the emotional and behavioral disorders among children and adolescents.
不可否认,父母在儿童的心理社会发展中起着至关重要的作用——无论是作为负担还是保护,都能预防心理健康障碍。本研究旨在通过优势比统计(OR)来确定父母心理控制与情绪和行为障碍之间的相关性。共有 762 名学生参与了这项研究,平均年龄为 12.23 岁,其中 53.8%是女生,46.2%是男生。儿童和青少年报告了他们的父母心理控制和他们的情绪和行为障碍(即情绪和行为问题、内化和外化问题)。感知到父母心理控制较高的未成年人患内化障碍的可能性是普通未成年人的 6 倍,患外化障碍的可能性是普通未成年人的 4.8 倍。此外,感知到高度心理控制的男性更容易患外化障碍。本研究首次发现,父母感知到的心理控制(被认为是一种消极的控制形式)对儿童和青少年的情绪和行为障碍具有重要意义。
