In this study, psychological control of children was conceptually and empirically distinguished from behavioral control. Further, it was demonstrated as hypothesized that psychological control was more predictive of adolescent internalized problems, and that behavioral control was more predictive of externalized problems. Subjects were 473 fifth-, eighth-, and tenth-grade males and females from a Southern suburb. Control was measured by the Child Report of Parent Behavior Inventory and the Colorado Self-Report of Family Functioning Inventory. Problem behaviors were measured with the Child Behavior Checklist. First- and second-order factor analyses discriminated psychological and behavioral control, and structural equation analyses demonstrated the differential prediction of internalized and externalized problems. These last analyses were conducted using youth-reported data and validated using a subsample of 227 mother-youth pairs.
在本研究中，从概念和实证角度对儿童的心理控制与行为控制进行了区分。此外，研究结果正如假设所示，心理控制更能预测青少年的内化问题，而行为控制更能预测外化问题。研究对象是来自南郊的473名五、八、十年级的男女学生。控制变量通过《父母行为量表儿童报告》和《家庭功能科罗拉多自我报告量表》进行测量。问题行为通过《儿童行为量表》进行测量。一阶和二阶因素分析区分了心理控制和行为控制，结构方程分析表明了内化问题和外化问题的差异预测。最后这些分析使用的是青少年报告的数据，并通过227对母子样本进行了验证。
