This study examined parental autonomy support and psychological control and their relations with child biobehavioral functioning. Participants included 238 Chinese parent-child dyads (M = 8.38 years, 42.0% girls) in two cohorts (2013 and 2021). Parents in the 2021 cohort displayed higher levels of autonomy support and psychological control during the parent-child interaction than in the 2013 cohort. Parental psychological control was positively associated with emotion regulation and negatively associated with externalizing problems in the 2013 cohort, but not in the 2021 cohort. Parental psychological control was also negatively associated with vagal suppression in the 2021 cohort, but not in the 2013 cohort. The result suggests that sociocultural contexts may shape the display of parental behaviors and their significance for child development.
本研究考察了父母自主性支持和心理控制及其与儿童生物行为功能的关系。参与者包括来自两个队列（2013 年和 2021 年）的 238 对中国亲子对（M=8.38 岁，42.0%为女孩）。与 2013 年队列相比，2021 年队列的父母在亲子互动中表现出更高的自主性支持和心理控制水平。在 2013 年队列中，父母的心理控制与情绪调节呈正相关，与外化问题呈负相关，但在 2021 年队列中则不然。在 2021 年队列中，父母的心理控制还与迷走神经抑制呈负相关，但在 2013 年队列中则不然。研究结果表明，社会文化背景可能会影响父母行为的表现及其对儿童发展的意义。
