This study aimed to explore the relationships among early adolescents' perceived parental psychological control/autonomy support, self-trouble, and internalizing problems as well as the potential gender differences in these relationships. Multiple-group path analysis was performed on the data collected from 1,089 adolescents in Beijing junior high schools. Results revealed that parental psychological control (autonomy support) was associated with adolescents' more (fewer) internalizing problems, and self-trouble acted as a mediator in these two relationships. Moreover, only the indirect relationship between parental autonomy support and internalizing problems via self-trouble was moderated by gender, with girls showing a little stronger indirect effect than boys, and specifically, it was the relationship between autonomy support and self-trouble that existed gender differences, with girls showing higher coefficient than boys. The relationship between parental psychological control/autonomy support and early adolescents' internalizing problems was discussed with regard to self-trouble and gender differences.
本研究旨在探讨青少年早期感知到的父母心理控制/自主支持、自我困扰与内化问题之间的关系，以及这些关系中的潜在性别差异。对来自北京初中的 1089 名青少年的数据进行了多组路径分析。结果表明，父母心理控制（自主支持）与青少年更多（更少）的内化问题相关，自我困扰在这两个关系中起中介作用。此外，只有父母自主支持通过自我困扰对内化问题的间接关系受到性别调节，女孩的间接效应略强于男孩，具体而言，是自主支持和自我困扰之间的关系存在性别差异，女孩的系数高于男孩。讨论了自我困扰和性别差异方面，父母心理控制/自主支持与早期青少年内化问题之间的关系。
