Parents are important for the development and maintenance of regulatory control. The current longitudinal study examined associations between parental coercion and autonomy support and impulse control in 117 youth (ages 8-16; M= 12.87, SD=2.53; 44% male) with Type 1 diabetes and explored whether youth negative affect mediated these associations. Parental coercion (but not autonomy support) was concurrently associated with lower impulse control and higher negative affect within individuals. Increases in youth negative affect partially mediated the within-person association between parental coercion and impulse control. These findings suggest that parent-directed interventions to reduce parental coercion may be most beneficial for impulse control if combined with youth-directed interventions to help them regulate negative affect. Replication of the current findings in a larger sample of youth with and without a chronic illness is needed to address the theoretical and empirical importance of negative affect as a potential mechanism through which parental coercion impacts youth impulsivity.
父母对于调节控制的发展和维持至关重要。当前的纵向研究调查了117名1型糖尿病青少年（年龄8 - 16岁；M = 12.87，SD = 2.53；44%为男性）中父母的强制行为和自主支持与冲动控制之间的关联，并探讨了青少年的消极情绪是否介导了这些关联。父母的强制行为（而非自主支持）与个体内较低的冲动控制和较高的消极情绪同时相关。青少年消极情绪的增加部分介导了父母强制行为与冲动控制之间的个体内关联。这些发现表明，如果与针对青少年的干预措施相结合，以帮助他们调节消极情绪，那么旨在减少父母强制行为的以父母为导向的干预措施可能对冲动控制最为有益。需要在更大样本的患有和未患有慢性病的青少年中重复当前的研究结果，以探讨消极情绪作为父母强制行为影响青少年冲动性的潜在机制在理论和实证方面的重要性。
